Gift suggestion for sister?

I already bought her a hair straightener, but our limit is $50. I still need something for about $20. She's 20 yrs old, and my complete opposite.

-I can't buy her clothes - she works at the GAP and buys everything herself. (besides the fact that we have COMPLETELY opposite taste)

-Her best friend works at ULTA and buys all her makeup and hair products at 30-50% off (employee discount)

-She won't use a "no name" pocketbook or wallet

-She hates movies, downloads all her music off the computer, and doesn't have a favorite restaurant.

-She gets her nails done every 2 weeks, but her boyfriend pays for that.

-She can't use bath products (she breaks out)

-She doesn't need another keychain (she already has 3 or 4 on her keys)

What the HECK do I get this girl for $20?!?!? Chat Icon

THANK YOU
all great ideas, BUT
-she doesn't store her photos - just takes digi pics and keeps them on her computer.
-she has a Coach umbrella
-she gets magazines from work for free
-she doesn't read for fun (college student)
-has 100 candles that she doesn't burn

She's a spoiled brat! Now you realize why this is so hard!?!? Chat Icon

Re: Gift suggestion for sister?

- Does she drink coffee or tea?
- Does she have a favorite nail polish or does she just use the stuff from the salon?
- How about buying a picture frame with the $20 and putting a picture of the two of you as kids in it?
- A board game? Toys R Us has some cheap ones

Re: Gift suggestion for sister?

Do her and her BF go out for dinner alot?
Does they have a place that they go to often?
Maybe a GC for that place?

Does she go get her hair colored or highlighted? Maybe a GC for there?

Thats a great idea!

I was thinking maybe something frivilous like expensive candies she likes? I know - this is a hard one.
