So it has occurred to me that some of your husbands, boyfriends, or family may say the same about you. It also occurred to me that a public list of suggested gift ideas would help everyone out since Mother's Day (and my birthday) are coming quickly.
If none of the following appeal to you or seem quite right for your gift-ee...you cannot go wrong with a gift card to a favorite store or restaurant. Not sure what store or restaurant are their favorites? Check the bank statement and see where they go the most...even if its Wal Mart or Target...it will at least be something they will use!
Here's another tip, if you want to buy something for them to wrap up, check their closet for a favorite clothing or shoe brand.
Still not sure...what gal wouldn't LOVE a day at the salon or spa for some pampering? Think massage, manicure, pedicure, or ALL 3!
Okay, here's my list of some favorite things...no particular order just as they come to me.
- Circle E Candles in Bird of Paradise or Sierra Wind
- Starbucks gift card (gc)
- Shoe Station gc
- a spa package at a nice spa like the Grand Hotel or NouVeau
- gc for a manicure &/or pedicure to Amy's Nails on Knollwood
- a Southern Living subscription

- concert tickets for Diana Krall
- a shopping trip...for me not groceries or diapers

- jewelry of the diamond kind...a small cross or some solitaire earrings or necklace

Well there you have it...that's all I can think of ...right now. I will reserve the right to add to or modify the above list as I see fit.
Got a favorite thing? Please let me know about it! I'm so curious what you might add!
Remember, the greatest gift ever given is the gift of life in Jesus! :)
