My bf is turning 37 next month. We have been bfs since highschool. We don't live near each other but talk almost everyday. I need a great birthday gift in the 25.00 to 30.00 range. She just got me a pampered chef pizza stone for my bday and I love it! We give each other jewelry alot but I wanted to stay away from that........I have thought of the following:

A Bluetooth headset for her blackberrry....
Cute lunchbag w/ reusable water bottle like Sigg or the one from PB
Cute personalized stationary.......

Thanks for any suggestions. BTW, she is married w/ two kids, works full time and it really into hair, makeup, fashion.

I would love to get personalized stationary as a gift! Nordstroms usually have nice gifts in the makeup area too, philosophy bath items, etc.

For Christmas I got my best friend some cleanser and moisturizer in the brand that she uses (Clarins). She loved the gift and it had a practical use too. :)

My vote, because we never buy that kind of thing for ourselves. I have had great luck with the Stationary Studio they have an ensemble for around $30 that is 50 notecards w/ initials, 50 notecards w/ name and 50 enclosure cards w/ name and all w/ envelopes. I also use A Touch of Whimsy ebay store and have great luck with her. Whatever you decide she will love that you remember her!

OK, my perspective as a WOHM, is TOTALLY the lunchbag and waterbottle. I think that is SUCH a thoughtful gift. Second would be the Bluetooth headset.

Maybe this is just me, but I rarely have time as a WOHM to use stationary, personalized or not. It would just sit unused for a long time. A lunchbag and waterbottle, I would use every day and think of the person that gave it to me! :)

I have purchased these personalized stamps for friends and they were a big hit.

I could put her kids names on there.....I have something similar but the rings are intertwined.

I also think she would really like this. I have one but mine does not have the dangling crystals.
