acurtis75 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I need gift ideas for a married couple in their late 50's. The husband works with dh and I. He doesn't technically work "for us" but we are responsible for his supervision and we get paid off of the work he does even though he runs an independent office. I would like to get them something nice that shows our appreciation for his work. It isn't too expensive. Maybe $50 or so. We have traveled with them for company functions but I don't know the wife all that well so I'm stumped.:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acurtis75 Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Are they coffee or tea drinkers? Starbucks??? Other than knowing that they have a coffee machine at the office I'm not sure. It seems like I should know more about them...we've spent time hanging out on company trips but I talk to him way more than her on a regular basis. I may end up with a gift basket if I don't come u with something more inspiring soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Restaurant or movie theater gift card? Have you checked Groupon for something fun in your area? My parents (same age as you are shopping for) are getting a firepit for their yard. Theater tickets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katilac Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Gift card for a casual table service restaurant (so that $50 will easily cover the meal). Go for one with a varied American menu, like Chili's or such, b/c they always have something for everyone - burgers, salads, chicken dishes if all else fails. If you go with Mexican or Chinese or such, there are always some people who just don't like certain genres of food. Bonus points if they can choose dine-in or carryout/curbside. If you are Canadian or such, edit accordingly :D I would only do a gift basket if you can figure out what they enjoy - they are generally themed to chocolate or coffee or sausage & cheese, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
