no ideas yet - i'll think about it for later - but I didn't know about this!
the first thing that came to mind was a spatique GC. facials, massages, whatever they want.

Re: need a reallllllly good gift idea
 I read it fast and thought it was... "the rabbit" and wine. You know... "the toy"
I'm thinking... I didn't know BBB had it and mine was a lot more than $50
wine and glasses or martini set
drink book with bottle of vodka and martini glasses
SATC seasons or box set
I did a bubble bath theme for my friend... a bath CD player, robe, slippers, lotions, etc

Off topic, but we do this at showers in my family. At my bridal shower there was a margarita basket, a book basket, a chocolate basket and something else (they were to represent my personality) and they were each raffled off.
They did it at my baby shower too, but I forget what was in those
Sorry for the hijack

I was trying to avoid confusion by saying the "wine" thing.
