Secret Santa Gift Ideas - LIMIT: 20-25 bucks...

What would you really like to receive as a secret santa gift? Meaning, what's a definite fan-favorite that MOST people would really like for 20-25 bucks??

It's for a woman in her late 40's but I'm looking for any suggestions for something that most people would really love. I just can't seem to think of any ideas that would make people go, what a good idea! I could always use a BLANK. KWIM?

I was going to say if you know where she frequently shops - maybe a gift card to the store?

Am I the only one who would just prefer a gift card? iTunes, gas, a coffee chain - people think that they're thoughtless, I think that they are the most useful.

I Loooove my cordless wine opener! I have the 2nd one - someone gave it to us as a gift last year and it's seen more action than a 2 dollar hooker at a Star Trek convention!

B&N Membership card is $25. That was probably the best secret santa gift I ever got- it kept giving all year long!

Also, Godiva Hot Chocolate Set- it comes with 3 hot chocolate tins and I think it's $20.

I always love jewelry. (NY&Co always has great stuff) Or like a nice wrislet or clutch. I don't spend a lot on pocketbooks so $40 would be about right for me.
