My sister's birthday is next week, and while we normally don't do much, she is graduating with her masters degree in May, has a full time job, single mom (to a great nephew) and is sick (awful cold) from all the stress right now.
I want to send her a little care package, maybe some pampering things. Of course, chocolate will be in there, but what else? I don't have a super big budget and have to ship it, but just wanted something to let he know I am thinking of her.
Ideas???
Thanks everyone, I am going to print it out and take this to the store. Plus bake some cookies (I have some break and bake ones just sitting in my fridge, hopefully will be homemade enough ;)
Slippers
A recent favorite book
Tea
Cookies
A throw blanket
A kitten (kidding.....kind of)
Soup
A chick flick
cute comfy socks
coffee/tea
soup
cookies
books, magazines
nail polish
bubble bath
scented candle
lotion
gift card to local place - for food, special pamper treat or cleaning service!
and a nice hand written card telling her how proud you are of her!!!
Wow! She has her hands full! My initial toughts were a cleaning lady but might not work on a budget. What about just a gift card to a restaurant so she can have a night off and a thoughtful note telling her all you told us above! There are also a lot of cute inspirational plaques out now too!
Maybe some bubble bath, a manicure set, I am sure she will appriciate anything you send her. It's very nice you want to do this for her!
Lavender moisturizer, one of those heated neck wraps you put in the microwave, cozy socks, facial masks, shower gel, back scratcher, fleece throw blanket (they are like $5 at Target, BigLots, etc.) white cotton cloth gloves (put the moisurizer on then the gloves before bed). Then write her a note telling her how much she means to you, how proud you are of what she's been doing in her life, how much she's accomplished, what a great son she's raising, etc. After all the stuff is gone she'll still have that note tucked away somewhere...
