View Full Version : Help! I need a nice gift for sil.

OK, I know that it's already Christmas, but I wasn't going to give my sil her gift until after Christmas anyway (they are OOT visiting her family, so I didn't want to ship something while they weren't home). I was going to give her a $50 GC to TJ Maxx, and maybe something else small (which I have yet to find). However, after opening the gifts that my brother and sil gave to my DH, myself and my kids today, I feel like my gift is too cheap. I feel like I need to spend at least $100 on her and am embarrassed by what I was planning to send her.

Do any of you have any suggestions? She doesn't have any kids yet, and has very expensive taste in general. She spends a lot on herself, so this is why it is difficult for me to figure out what might suit her. She likes boutique type of things, but quite honestly I am not someone who is the most up to date with that kind of stuff. I was hoping to just order her something online and have it shipped to her place directly.

Can you get her a gift certificate to a spa? Or really nice pjs I like Vera Wang) or robe (Barefoot Dreams) from Nordstroms? Or Ugg slippers?

Vera Bradley pjs, small or large duffel (if they travel a lot), VB wallet, etc.

I like the Ugg slipper idea.

How about a flip video for her purse:

I think picking a bag for someone is very personal. If you know a scent she wears something like that might be nice too.

Garnet Hill Asian Wrap pjs are awesome and on sale now. Ugg slippers are always nice too!

If you can buy/ship something, Marshall's had cashmere throws for $99 before christmas, I'm sure they're less now. They also had nice Ralph Lauren cable knit throws for I think $69. Either of these would be lovely.

Thanks ladies! The pj's or cashmere throw might be a good idea. I LOVE VB, but it's totally NOT my sil's style or else I would have just gotten her some VB stuff when I put in a ginormous order a couple of months ago, lol. Too bad neither of my sil's are VB gals. I did get some VB stationery for my bil's wife though. :) Anyway, off to shop online. Thanks!
