Gift for tricky 49 year old?

Parent Cafe

My hard to buy for sister has a birthday coming up very soon. She likes hair and skin care products and has been diligently working out with a trainer lately. Any ideas for birthday gifts in the $75-100 range? Preferably something thatqualified for amazon prime but others considered. I am desperate!

gift card for athena or prana?

I like that idea. I would love a gift card for lululemon. I don’t shop there often, but if I had a gift card I would. :slight_smile: I would love to be 49 again…

Maybe a gift card for Nordstrom’s; nice store but a bit expensive for my tastes. If I had a gift card, I’d have to find something there. :wink:

Since your sister likes hair and skin care products, she might like a subscription to Birchbox. Samples can be customized. There are 3 subscription levels ($30, $60 and $110). With promo code BBMAG, they currently will also add a free subscription to either Glamour, Vogue, or People Style Watch. One of my sons got his girlfriend this gift for a birthday and she loved it. https://www.birchbox.com/

How about making a gift basket for her? Here is what I will be doing for my good friend who is into exercise and skin care: I will get her the book by Matilde Thomas and some of her wondeful, fresh-smelling, nonnastychemical skin care products.

Here is the book, full of advice that makes lots of sense (ignore grape detox though):

This smells like pomegranate and makes the hands buttery soft.
