Help me shop -3 "Aunties" who buy whatever...

[dec13th]

Any suggestions? 3 of my friends are single, well employed and live in apartments. They buy whatever they want/need. But, I do feel like my kids need to give them something for Christmas up to $50 or so. I don't think any of them put Xmas tress or much decor up for Christmas.

I;ve been all over Etsy (nothing) and am now on C&B.

I would do food or drinks. Wine? Liquor? Cheeses?

Gift certificates for a pedi or massage?

one doesn't drink but maybe harry&david. are there any other trendy food places?

For hard-to-buy-for people, I like gift certificates to stores/restaurants I know they frequent.

I've also bought memberships to Cheese of the Month, Bacon of the Month, etc clubs for people. I bought from Zingerman's online, but I know there are other sites that do those kinds of clubs.

2 of the 3 "Aunties" get super hurt feelings if you give them a giftcard. Also only 1 Auntie lives near me and the other 2 live very far away.

I have no idea where they get their nails or massages or whatnot...

sigh... so tough!

Books, wine baskets with bread and cheese, magazine subscriptions, good candles, fun socks. I know you said no gift cards but what about for something fun like theatre tickets?

birchbox subscription?

I'm actually not a gift card fan. But who wouldn't like nice leather gloves. Or maybe a travel jewelry roll? Perfume they like?

Do they have smart phones? If so my mom asked for a pair of smart touch gloves

Food. Swiss Colony or the like.

I've never looked into it but my friend was just telling me that sometimes Sephora has a box set of perfume samples where you get the samples and the set comes with a certificate for a full size of one of the options.
