HappyGrace Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Just trying to get a few ideas! This would be for something for myself from my mom. I liked this, but you had to order by 11/24: http://www.thevintagepearl.com/categories/simple_c4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Limoge makes a little trinket box with a horse on it.........it would look great on my dressing table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntieM Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 At right this moment? A few moments with Super Nanny (of course, $35 would probably only buy a nanosecond of her time). My 4yodd has had a crazy disrupted schedule for the last month (my fault, of course) and she needs an attitude adjustment :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I'd go to an antique shop and find a couple nice things. That way I could stretch it and have something memorable that would remind me of her when I looked at it. I'm keen on the glass hens on nests, milk glass, Weller pottery, that sort of thing, so I'd look for something affordable of that. Ebay is a good way to get into collectibles and antiques too. Sometimes you can find good deals. You could get a nice piece of antique pottery for that price. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraGB Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Probably shoes. Or books. Or a great bottle of wine (or go cheaper and get two great bottles - both of which would be substantially more expensive than what I would regularly buy). Or a book (paperback, on clearance), a cheap bottle of wine and a nice pair of shoes. THAT would be ideal. TMI? :blushing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex-mex Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 A haircut & style and if there is change leftover... a chai latte. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeanestMomInMidwest Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 5 grande soy peppermint mochas from Starbucks. that would leave enough for a tip. I like putting change in the barrista's cup, it makes me feel generous. This would give me five little happy moments, that I would spread out until the holidays are over.

Irene Lynn Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I'd get a specialty baking pan or serving dish for the kitchen, something I don't need, but would make the food or the service look cool. If you would prefer jewelry, you might want to check out some of the etsy shops. There are many one of a kind items and some you can special order something for length and arrangement.

LibraryLover Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 French olive oil. I would still need $5 more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I'd get something creative--craft or art supplies or fabric for a project. That way I get the joy of making something and the joy of the finished product, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Books. I always buy books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyGrace Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 (edited) I am having so much fun reading the responses! It's rare that I spend money on myself. I had a BLAST looking on Etsy! There were so many gorgeous things. I found lots of other people that make the same type of necklace so I'm planning on getting one. It will be a really meaningful but fun gift that I will use a lot.
