--- for my SIL who will be turning 80.  She's not an "old" 79 year old and I apologize if I offended anyone with that word.  Anyway, she's kind of stylish, but not very outgoing. 

She'd be very offended if the gift was something for the house or kitchen.  She believes a gift is something for her, not the house.  I'd like to limit spending at $50.  Any good suggestions would be appreciated.

A great book? Nice stationary and pens (hand writing notes is a novelty these days)..... Silk scarf? Donation to her favorite charity in her name? Luxury body creme?

@coffee drinker I enjoy getting jewelry. Perhaps some new stretchy bracelets that are fashionable but easy on and easy off.

I think a gift card, then I can get whatever I want 🤗

Bath products?  Gift card for a medi or pedi?  I am not a big fan of gift cards but sometimes depending on the recipient it works best.

I have not gotten a birthday gift in several years (this year I turned 67). I have never been comfortable with being gifted, except by my husband.  It just gets to hard to try and buy a meaningful gift.  

My friends and i decided a few years ago to quit the gift giving tradition, we now go out for dinner and the birthday girl does not pay!

I would treat her to lunch (or brunch). A treat for you and her....time to share with each other.

Three Godiva gourmet coffees. Check out the Godiva website.  There are some deals and some goodies there.

an Amazon gift card

@coffee drinker 

Don't give a gc for a mani or pedi unless you *know* she likes that kind of thing. Someone once gave me one and I gave it away as I have no interest in pedicures. Don't waste your money unless you know what she likes.

I agree about an Amaon gift card. So much to choose from there!

@On It  This is a wonderful idea. The woman is said to fashionable so this would be perfect. I have to remember this for when I'm stuck on what to gift. Thanks for the inspiration.

There is a line here at Q that is sort of newish with the stretch bracelets. I can't think of the name now. Anyway, on their site, not the Q, they have some nice stretch bracelets that even have 14kt gold and still under $50.
