Gift Ideas - 35'ish mother of 2

[Sanhedralite]

Hmmm, I don't know her so well and am wondering what to get a 35 yr old lady for her birthday. I'm invited to her party. She's funny, a hard worker, and a good Mommy.

Any ideas that are not too expensive? Thanks!

in quebec we call them "dras sante" (health sheets?)

they are super warm bed sheets. Sounds corny but everyone i have given them to rants and raves about them!

As a 35ish mother of two myself, I would like something to give me a few minutes peace (mind you, I don't know how old her kids are).

Maybe a manicure/pedicure GC from a local spa? I don't care how much people say GCs aren't personal enough, I would appreciate that 100x more than candles/flowers etc.

+1, that's exactly what I was going to say.

GC would be my choice also. Yves Rocher wuold be one selection.

Give her some free babysitting services so she can get out of the house occassionally and have some fun.;) Or, if you're not into that, yeah, a GC for some spa services is what I would think of first too.

You didnt mention if she's single or not, but giving her theatre/concert/symphony tickets would also be nice. We once gave a mid 40's couple theatre tickets followed by a dinner gift voucher to a nice french restaurant in the area.

Also, some women are not into the whole spa thing (I know, crazzzzzy. But I know dozens of women who think it's a waste of time and money). So try and find out if that's her kind of thing.

One last suggestion, a chapters gift card if she likes to read or listen to music.
