Birthday gift for sister: suggestions pls?

[v]

I want to spend around $100-150. She will be 38. She has two children -- 5 and 9. They keep her very busy. She likes fancy things, particularly relating to attire. She returned to work last year after a 10-year hiatus. I don't want to give her a gift card.

I am drawing a blank.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

What are her hobbies? Does she have a Fitbit?

Purse, sunglasses, a piece of jewelry?

Does she have a SO? Are you willing to watch the kids while they go out to dinner, and maybe even get a hotel room for the night?

What about a nice scarf or an accessory she can wear now that she's back at work?

I am getting her husband a Fitbit for his birthday and I think she would have mentioned that she wants one too if she did.

She loves to entertain (though she has tons of pretty things to use for those purposes). She works out a lot. She volunteers a lot. Generally, though, the kids keep her very busy and she is pressed for time.

A pretty clutch, earrings, a bracelet, scarf.  

Any of these are good ideas but I need links with specific ideas

What about a decent computer/work bag? Or maybe a Hermes scarf to wear to work? I dunno, somewhere in between?

Not sure what your sister's style is but my mom got me these earrings for my 30th bday and I wear them almost every day. They also came in a cute Tiffany's box

What about a Levenger gift certificate? They have superfun office goodies if she likes that kind of stuff.

You could even give her a few fun suggestions - ETA: if you aren't an office supply geek, these may not classify as "fun"

I love these! I actually went to the Kendra Scott store in Beverly Hills and made my own necklace. It was so fun picking out the style and the stones. Awesome way to spend an afternoon alone while H was out golfing with his brother.

Nice leather gloves.

Bath products from Lush? Nice workout clothes from Athleta or Lululemon, everyone's favorite planner, spa day, meal delivery service (since she is so busy).

I was going to say a monthly subscription box.

Is she into trendy jewelry? Alex and Ani is very popular now and you could get bracelets for each kids birth month.

She has now requested a Longchamp Le Pliage bag. Crisis averted!

Lots of great ideas here though that I'll save for Christmas.  Well, or for myself.
