One of my friends is turning 37 tomorrow and i am trying to come up with a birthday gift for her and it isn't easy!
She is picky! She doesn't like " stuff to clutter up her home" she doesn't like homemade things or lotions and she doesn't cook or do any sort of hobby! I was thinking of maybe a gift card to her fav coffee house place because i know she likes some sort of tea they have there. But how much should i get the card for? Does 10.00 sound too cheap? What else should i get her? I thought about making snikerdoodle cookies ( her fav) but she is always on a diet! i would like to get her a little something but i am at a LOSS! She has expesnsive taste and i hate to think that i am wasting money on something that she will just hate or not use anyways.
What sort of things do you like to get from your friends has gifts? What was your fav thing that a friend gave you??? Please give me IDEAS!!!

No she hates to read! She tells me that she doen't have time to read! LOl
I could get her maybe movie tickets- although i am trying to keep her gift under 20.00 so maybe a couple of movie tickets and a 5.00 gift card to her fav coffe place? Does that sound cheap?

I don't think 10.00 is too cheap! If I got a gift card to a coffee house it would get me 3+ coffees (or tea in my case) and that would make me very happy, what a fun treat! Could you make her a card and just let her know what she means to you and include the gift card. I'd love it!

Why not take her to her coffee house and treat her to her tea and a muffin or something. I know spending time with my friend would be the best gift I could get.

I would suggest taking her out to the movies or the coffee house!!! I agree that spending time with her is the best gift!
