Secret Santa Gift.. Help?
« on: July 07, 2014, 09:29:07 pm »
Hi ya'll.

I know it's early but I need some help.
I have my older sister for secret santa but I'm a little stuck on what to get because there is more than a 10 year gap between us.

Anyways here is a little description.
Married. 34yearsold. 4 kids. Lives a boring life LOL because she's a little more strict BUT she's clumsy and super nice. Very down to do things and try new things. ....

Not much of a description, but the hardest part is trying to think about what to get an adult... xD since I've barely become one myself.

I'm a little more older than she, but I am also boring and strict too. I really enjoy when my daughter or anybody gives me gift card to my favorite stores. to me when I give a gift. I found out what that person likes and their hobbies then I get them something that I know they would like from their hobbies ect... Hope this works. You can also try asking her husband what she likes or wants.

Have you had a special family reunion any time recently?
It is rare that my two sisters and brother are all together.
We had a family reunion last week.
I got the idea to have a photo of the four of us on the beach matted and framed and sent to each of them.
 I know it will be a treasure for me to have on the wall of my apartment.
Maybe this gives you some ideas.

You can never go wrong with a gift certificate. People can then get something they enjoy. I think they're a great idea.

I was going to say the same thing as natashaspy :)

Sounds like it wouldnt be something she would buy for herself

Or if thats too expensive, how about a gift certificate to get her hair and nails done

I agree with a gift certificate/ gift card to get hair/nails done.
I'm thinking with 4 kids, if you get her a gift card no doubt she'll use it for something for the kids, because that's how it works when you get old & boring ;)

Being as it is your sister it should be easy.  What does she like?  DVDs?  CDs?  You should know what kind of clothes she likes?

You could do a basket you make yourself.  Maybe a theme.  They have a ton of bath stuff at Bath and Body works.  You could get lotions, soaps, candles, and candy and it all the same theme.  Maybe throw in a gift card for some where to eat.  And a coupon for free baby sitting.

You have a good heart, and I understand the sentiment.  Your sister sounds like a great big sister, and I would do one of two things to make her Christmas special:  Get her a gift card, or treat her to a special day.  Hope it helps. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :rainbow: :present: :rose:

I agree with some of the other responses.  A gift card for a day of beauty or a spa day.  I know that if I get a gift card from somewhere like Wal-Mart, I would use it for something other than a gift just for me.
