Help! Need gift ideas

SMIL's bday is this weekend.  I'd like to send her a small gift (she lives a few hours away).  We usually send a bouquet, but are trying to not spend so much money right now.  I'm hoping to get something smallish that I can just send myself.  Any gift ideas?  She loves flowers and is very feminine.  I just don't know what to even look for at the store.  The only thing I could come up with is a brooch, but even then I don't know if I'll even find a nice one at the mall.  I know this is vague, but I'm having a mental block and figured any suggestions or brainstorms from you girls will help!

Re: Help! Need gift ideas

  • Ok, I'm biased . . . but maybe a pretty box of stationery? Do you have a Papyrus near you? I always think that's a nice gift and kind of feminine.

  • I agree with Cassie! I heart Papyrus. I dont think we have anymore out here. At least the 2 malls I go to have shut the stores down :(

    Pretty stationary is alwasy a good bet!

    Or what about one of those new universal gift cards that has like 1000 Spa's on it so she can go get a pedi or something fun?!?

    There is still one at Fashion Square! 

    My SM is also really girly and although I hate buying them because I feel like they are such a generic gift, she LOVES all of the bath and lotion stuff from Bath and Body works.  Does she have a charm bracelet?  You can usually find a silver one farily inexpensively and start it off with a b-day charm. Also, nice PJs are another go to gift for me.  I notice that most everyone loves having them, but it is something most people don't want to spend money on for themselves.

  • Teas?...

    a nice scarf?

    One of Kristy's Etsy paper letters  ;)

    a pretty coffee table book-although I like the note card idea.

     

  • Great ideas - keep 'em coming if you have any more!

    I like the idea of the note cards.  And there's a Papyrus near me (though I had to do a self-imposed ban of that store for awhile because I was spending way too much money there LOL, but I can make an exception for this!)
