christib327 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Is there a certain shop she buys some of her coins? If so maybe you could get her a gift card from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotejb Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Thanks for trying to help me... She's already got a quarter book type thing...She doesn't watch soaps...She just recently got a job at Walgreens....She usually just goes to antique things and flea markets and that's where she gets coins...

christib327 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Well...maybe you could make her a gift basket full of fun little things. Does she like to read at all? If so you could put a book in it, or a subscription to a magazine she likes. Bath and Body works has WONDERFUL socks right now for $5 that I can't imagine anyone not liking. You could get her one of those little pottery container things (yeah, I know..not real helpful there!) and put some money in it for her next flea market adventure. (I love flea markets myself and know I would love having extra cash to spend at the next one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kselzer Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 For my grandma I put together a food gift basket. I go to a couple local bakeries and stores and purchase an assortment of food items. One store I go to has many items you would find in Amish country, such as fudge, cheeses, crackers, bagel chips, chili & soup mixes, jams & jellies, apple butter, pumpkin butter, candies, chocolate covered pretzels, etc. I put it all in a large size box lid (like the paper copy kind) and cover it with wrapping paper and a pretty bow. I also usually buy her a few Bath & Body works hand soaps. My grandma has a condo and buying "things" just add to the clutter - so this way she is happy because she loves the food and she doesn't have anything she has to find a place for on her mantle or what not. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneberry21 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 For my boyfriends mom and stepfather, we got a snowglobe that you can insert a photo into. Its not cheesy like some snowglobes. It looks very elegant. We're putting their wedding photo in it. I got it at Restoration Hardware. Small $19 Medium $29 Large $39. I like when gifts are personalized and not just something bland.
