It's next Wednesday... this is my first year having a secretary (I actually have 2). The one that I really like and that i'm good friends with is 20, engaged to be married in the fall, and pretty cool. The other is a middle aged mother of two.
I really can't afford to spend a lot, and each of them will know what I got the other (it's a small office!). Any ideas?

What I did when this came around, was make them a basket. I bought cute inexpensive baskets from Walmart and filled them with a mug and hot chocolate or coffee, I put some candy in there, and something personal. If you know one loves to read a book, if one loves pictures a nice picture frame, etc. You cna add some scratch offs in the basket too.
I then got them all very nice cards and wrote exactly how much I appreciated all their hard work.
One year we just splurged and had a big lunch for them with a cake and we got them each flowers and a fruit basket.
Last year I did the baskets and they all seemed to love it. Its the thought that counts.
Gift certificates have always worked for me in the past - just make sure they're the same amount for both. Bed Bath and Beyond, Williams Sonoma, Blockbuster (if they like movies), some place like that.
