I've finished my holiday shopping except buying for a few of my girlfriends.
I hate to do candles, soap/lotion, necklace. Any other suggestions?

On one I want to spend about $30, and about $50 on the other.

That's pretty. If one of my girlfriends got me that, I'd be psyched.

I was going to suggest this from RE, but I do NOT remember it being $89!! I thought it was around 60 or 70. But anyway, I would love to get this. :)

Are they local to you? How about a manicure or pedicure appointment for both of you to enjoy together? I would love that, some extra time with a friend to chat/relax without the kids around.

Or a lunch date? Museum pass?

I feel like I don't want more "stuff", I love time with friends etc.

Really pretty stylish earings or a scarf that they would never buy for themselves. We have a local shop that sells wares from local artists and crafters. I love going in there to find gifts. If your friends are anything like mine, most of our accessories are very out of date.

Etsy jewelry or accessories are very unique and boutique. I think they would make beautiful gifts. I gave some of those scrabble tiles decorated in japanese paper pendant necklaces as gifts a couple of yrs ago and it went over really well. They were really affordable too, like less than $15 each and came in a beautiful tin with the matching design on the lid.

Maybe this is the one you're thinking of? It is really pretty, and I got it for someone this year.
