I work at a retail store (all females). Anyway, we had a secret santa drawing and I drew my manager's name.
She is in her late 20s, engaged, and she just moved into a townhome. She is a really bubbly person. We made a storewide rule...NO Bath and Body Works or Victoria's Secret (because in past years, that is all people got! lol)...
So any ideas, people!!? I was thinking a nice throw blanket or something...
The price range is $15-20
THANKS!!!!

A throw sounds great! Try to get one of those chenille ones if you can within your budget....they are luscious. An assortment of coffees or teas with 2 cups (since she is getting married) that coordinate. Silver or neutral tabletop picture frames are a nice gift too. How about a nice coffee table book, some sort of photography like Ansel Adams, or a fun variety book with pictures of beautiful countryside, homes and food. I hope this sparks some ideas.......Happy shopping!

The throw blanket sounds nice and with that I would include a good book(if she reads, find out what kind of books she likes to read.) Add some gourmet tea or coffee and place those items in a cute basket which she can use later for something else.

wow. it's really early to be doing Secret Santa.
Anyway. Maybe something for her home. How about a gift certificate to Home Depot, Crate and Barrel or BedBath and Beyond. Or you could go with some candles- vanilla is always a great choice because it's a nice neutral scent and is very cozy.
Peace

If she uses the computer alot, here is an original idea: A Cactus. Apparently, placing a cactus plant near the computer monitor will help divert some of the (something something) rays which is harmful to the human eye. Sorry, I'm not a very scientific person, so I can't remember what type of rays it was.

the best way to go is get her a gift card to crate and barrel or pier one imports...some type of homey kind of thing because she just moved into a home. if gift cards are out of the question, then go for nice candle set or if you're old enough buy her a nice wine bottle.

Being a retail manager myself I always suggest to my crew that a gift card to my favorite resturuant or golf course would greatly be appreciated. Since she just moved to a new home a Home Depot card is great gift. Yes I know its for a young lady but my fiance goes crazy in there getting things to decorate our house.
Good Luck!!

I always find out what kind of animal they like you can find a collection to start or add to. There is all kinds of animal things. Start talking about a child's/friends/ or anothers favorite animal trying to lead up to her favorite without giving yourself away. Be sure to make it comical, yes make up a story and run it through your head, you can tell her later if it was a story to get the truth out of her! But true story's help Caz you know them! Making one up is difficult. Or find someone else's! Good Luck!

Get her a really nice lasagne dish, fill with lasagne sheets, and other lasagne items (sauce etc) with a good recipe. If shes bubbly she probably enjoys entertaining - so make it a big lasagne dish!
I love dishes and platters - just make it quite plain in style if you are not sure of her taste

Are you adverse to gift certificates? If she has just moved to a new home, you can get something from a housewares store like PIer One. Trick is to know her taste in decor if you have to get a gift, rather than a certificate.
