help! any great gift ideas?
help! i need to buy a thank you gift for someone i don't even know and i cannot figure out what would be nice and appropriate! we rented a lake house this summer - and this would be a gift for the owner. she's a widowed woman about 50 years old .... i don't know that much about her, really - but i'd like to give her something nice that costs about $100 - $150. she seems fairly traditional and formal ... i was thinking some personalized stationary - but that's not enough ... ughh - any ideas ?!?!

I wouldn't have even thought of giving the owner a gift. What does that say about me? Crystal would be nice. Or the stationary and a nice pen.

Well in the vein of you renting her house...I'd go with something home-y You've seen her house! Monogrammed towels or a monogrammed stone on sheppards hook? I personally love the stationery idea...maybe you could beef that idea up by creating some custom stamps for her and a beautiful pen set?

I agree, something for the home. Have you looked on etsy? They have such beautiful home decor. Plus you have seen the home, you should know her style.

thanks everyone i was definitely thinking of something for her home - and i've scoured etsy ... i'm just horrible at deciding LOL! i had some crystal stuff picked out from another store (which i now want for me! LOL!), and then decided to go back to the monogrammed stationary idea b/c that seems like something she would like (she writes me beautiful emails about things like how to work the air conditioner! LOL!) ... so i got 4 different packs of monogrammed notecards and stationary from here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/siskastudio ... i got some mommy cards from her and i LOVE them ...
i love monogrammed towels too - i was looking for some cute tea towels but couldn't find any i liked ...
