Alicia64 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) I don't see my niece often at all b/c they live a billion miles away. On top of that my sister is no help at all in the "what should I give her" dept. Adding: She's in her second year of college, but returns home every summer. Even though she's in college, her home-base is still very much w/ her parents. She doesn't work or play a sport. (I think she's doing some type of paid internship w/ a financial group this summer.) She's into clothes, makeup and jewelry. I've bought two gift cards but I'd like something tangible to give her too. Any ideas very appreciated!! Edited May 16, 2021 by Alicia64 Added info.

Arctic Bunny Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Does she live on her own? Attend college? Work? Play a sport? Etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops another thing I should have said: yes, I've bought two gift cards but I'd like something tangible to give her too. Sorry again!

Kassia Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 My son's girlfriend likes stacking rings. I get them from Pandora and am interested in James Avery jewelry for her. Any special foods/treats she likes? Does she like board games or jigsaw puzzles? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 If I want to do something tangible with a gift card like that, I often do a consumable. I've done gourmet sodas, fancy chocolates, nuts, etc. Maybe if you asked your sister directly what her favorite guilty pleasure junk food is you could get an answer out of her? If she's a coffee or tea drinker, you could wrap them up in a cute coffee mug or a travel mug. Might be nice for the newly professionally employed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kareni Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 If you have time, perhaps a personalized gift. Etsy has lovely personalized pillows, bookmarks, rings, bracelets, and more. Regards, Kareni 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I happened to have her contact info. ETA - I've also asked her mom for the girlfriend's favorite Bath and Body Works scents.
