Wedding Gift for Hair Stylist?
My hair stylist got married last week and I have an appointment with her this week. I thought it would be nice to get her a small wedding gift and I found the perfect gift for $20, but it's out of stock at our local store. I found her registry but I'm not sure that getting a kitchen item seems appropriate given the nature of our relationship. Anyone have any ideas for a thoughtful wedding gift under $25? TIA
Re: Wedding Gift for Hair Stylist?
I agree with @AprilZ81, it is the gesture that counts. I'm sure she isn't expecting a gift from you and will be delighted you thought of her. Could you find a similar item at another store?
I'm terrible with good gift ideas or I'd throw some out for you.
With that said, I'm always a fan of a thoughtful card and a note with a check/cash when I'm not certain on what physical gift I want to give.
Our cash gifts just went into the savings account to build our emergency fund - we didn't actually spend any of it.
Also, if you want to give her a physical item instead stick to the registry. I don't know about her,but I know that H and I put a lot of thought into our registry, and neither of us really likes clutter. We did receive some lovely off-registry gifts, but the best ones were from family and friends who know us extremely well and know our tastes. For professional or casual aquaintances, I think the registry is the way to go.
