We draw names for H's family. I got his SIL who has everything she could ever need/want. She's great and I love her, she's just really hard to buy for because she buys anything she wants. Anyway, she's 32, a mother of 3 and is very trendy, into the latest things. She is a SAHM and enjoys being a part of the community. Our limit is $50. Anyone have unique or fun ideas?

This might sound nuts to some of you, but I love LL Bean XL monogrammed boat bags. They are handy for going to the pool, but also for packing for a weekend away, taking stuff to the school for volunteer projects, groceries, instead of laundry baskets, for keeping the car organized with all the coats and things that get left in there. I have 4 of them, monogramed with one of our names on it. I even use them to sort things that go in other rooms when I am cleaning up, then put them in that persons bedroom and they can put the stuff away. They are not floppy like the lands end ones, so they stay upright much better.
My favorite use for them is to pack food when we head out for a weekend away. They keep everything from getting squished and keep it together, rather than having 3 or 4 grocery sacks.

Sephora has a gift set with large-ish samples of 12 perfumes, plus a gift certificate for a full-size bottle of the perfume she tries and likes best. It's $50 I believe.

I love my LL Bean bag - I got mine as a gift. I have the large size and like the strap length on that one because you can easily put it over your shoulder. You could put some fun things in it as part of the gift.
My SIL also has everything and I got her some personalized family stationary on Etsy. It was only $16 but you could build on something like that as well.

I bought this for my SiL from SHoppers (for the Canadians) they have 2 sizes.

I have a bunch of boat bags (and one of the Land's End equivalent) and while I like them, I would not recommend XL. It is absurdly big.
