Well, I am over 50. There is not much I truly need or want. But, I always like getting a good smelling candle or cologne. Plus, foot and body cream always make me happy.Or, you can get $5 and $10 gift certificates at fast food places. I love going through a drive thru and getting a bag of apple slices when I am traveling.There are healthy choices at most places now. Put a gift card for Starbucks in a card. I love trying their lattes and sweets. |

| If you don't know the person well, a gift card is always a good, safe bet. Ask your friend what some of her favorite stores are. |

| Ask your friend what he thinks she might like. A gift card to a store she likes is always nice. |

| a gift certificate to a home decor store. You dont know her well, and dont want to get too 'personal' with a gift....a Gift Certificate with a nice card is probably the safest bet....$25 bucks sounds like a nice amount. |

| A potted orchid. If she cares for it well, it will last for months. If she doesn't, it'll still last for weeks. Average price, $30. |

| Unique art gift is the best present.There is a web site –photoartomation.com ( http://www.photoartomation.com ), they convert a digital photos into paintings of different art styles and print them on canvas. My friend sent them a picture and they turned it into beautiful piece of art. I saw it and it really looks good. |
