She likes "traveling, colorful socks, target, motherhood maternity, cookies, ebay, reading, cookbooks, paris" She doesn't like coffee, knicknacks and scented items. Can you help please? She is pregnant.

Gift cards are a lame cop out for a gift in a situation like this. Put some thought into it! Make her a "themed gift" For instance, she likes cookings & cook books. Get her an inexpensive cookie cookbook, some gourmet indgrediants, some nicer utensils, a cookie jar, over mits, an apron, anything to do with baking. You could get really creative and do a french baking gift. Go to places like harry & David, le gourmet chef, even target has some nice quality baking items. You can even make the box part of the gift- use a baking pan as the basket and uses that colored plastic wrap to keep it all together.

You can do a very nice gift bag for this person.
In the bag, you can add the colorful socks- does she like the house socks (bed socks)? These are fuzzy and warm and keep your feet warm in cold weather. Also, in the bag, you can add some cookies- homemade or some from a bakery- put them in a nice cellophane bag with a ribbon. Cookbooks are a-plenty in most bookstores especially during the holidays. They can be pricey! Check the paperback versions- maybe some dealing with quick cooking (Rachel Ray) or some with comfort foods.
Paris? Hmmm..... Do you have a Burlington Coat Factory store near you? I have seen some decorator boxes with Parisian themes on them (Eiffel Tower, cafes, etc) in the stores. If you find a box like that, you can put all the goodies inside it and tie it up with a nice ribbon. You may be able to find some on the Internet if you have time. I assume you mean Paris, France and NOT Paris Hilton????

Gift certificate to Target or Walmart or a local book store, or the local mall.
Or buy her some colorful socks. Buy her a unique cookbook or a book on parenting.

get her a gift card to "Target" for under $25, make it around $20. Then put the gift card inside a small gift box and put a ribbon on top.
That way she can buy whatever she wants/needs for herself/her home/baby or family.
I have always given gift cards to Target, Walmart, and Olive Garden and the recipients always use them. I am also nosey and keep a record of the phone number and gift card number to keep track of how much the recipients spent *winks*. Of course, I do not use the gift card, just keep a record of it.

Get her a pretty silk scarf and a couple pairs of colorful socks. Maybe a travel guide to another country? One with lots of pretty pictures in it...
Bake her some cookies.

Get her a classic novel, a cooking gadget, or a big snugly robe. Maybe a gift certificate for a pedicure. Good Luck

Barnes & Nobles or Borders gift card.
That way she can buy a book to read about traveling or cooking.
It's somewhat generic, but gets the job done.
