I have to buy a birthday gift for my sister (She'll be 22). I am so unoriginal and ALWAYS get people gift certificates to their favorite stores. What are some other cute ideas?

I am a fan of bath stuff - I love Bath and Body works, crabtree and evelyn, or get some lotions and body stuff from Vic Secret. or you can get her a cut PJ top and bottom from Vic Secret.

I am a B&B nut too. She used to work there though and there are like 3 cabinets at home FILLED with that stuff that she got from work. Maybe I will get her something cutie from Vickie's. That's a good idea too. She loves pajamas.

One of the best gifts I ever got was a gift certificate to a Movie Theater. There was enough money on it for my honey and I to go to the movies AND buy popcorn and candy and cokes and stuff. Honestly-movies are sooo expensive nowadays that we rarely go and it was so nice to be able to go and actually fo it up RIGHT! I am usually the kind to try to sneak in my own snak and drink in my purse. I really loved that gift though. It goes a lot farther than say a GC to a clothing store for the same price.

Same with gift certificates to places like Bed, Bath & Beyond, a local car wash or your sister's favorite coffee place.

I just made my birthday list for my family and I asked for more fo my favorite glasses (they are from a store in SLO that I can't get to easily but you can order them online).

Jewlery also makes fun gifts. Earrings, a pretty necklace, a bracelet or ring always make women feel pretty.

Is there something she wants that's a big ticket item? You can always go in with other family members or friends to get her something she really wants that she might not splurge on for herself.
