I need gift help pleeeeeze!

Same story as last year for the boss. She buys herself whatever she wants and has everything..

last year I got her a spa certificate.

I've done the wine thing, cashmere wrap, even a thing for her new bathtub she she can have wine and read a book in there.

The kind of jewelry she likes I can't afford although that would be a nice gift for her.

Any and all suggestions are welcome. thanks!

She used to travel a whole lot but hasn't much. That's a great idea though.

Of course I just went to order and it's back ordered til February! Chat Icon But Red Envelope has a similar one and it's 20% off today. Just throwing it out there in case anyone was interested in it. Chat Icon

To the OP: Does she have an iPad or Nook or Kindle? Maybe a nice leather case for it? I know you said she gets herself everything she wants, but accessories like that never seem to go amiss.

ETA: Or maybe a Vera Bradley umbrella and phone case? They are so pretty.

ETA: Something I saw on pinterest, a nice way to dress up a simple gift of champagne, glitter the bottle:

Makes it seem fancier than it is. Chat Icon

I have a difficult time with my boss. I usually try to give him a gift card of something he got himself.

One year he got a dog so I got him a wag.com gift card.

One year he got a kindle for himself so I got an amazon giftcard.

Book? one year i got a difficult boss a gift card for his wife to make a shutterfly book, he was never going to do anything with anything i gave him.

My boss has everything and funds to buy herself everything and anything. I always buy her chocolates - expensive chocolates and she seems to love them and uses them as a dessert at one of her xmas parties. You could also donate to a charity in her name.

My go to gift this year is tech-tip gloves. They are gloves that work with the iphone and ipad. Nordstrom has a pretty good selection of different brands (including Kate Spade and Burberry). Good luck!

Yes, they make it so that you can type, text, surf the web, etc on a touch screen without removing your gloves.

Do you work in the city or does she live in the city? My boss has expensive bags and shoes and takes them to the Leather Spa - was thinking of getting her a GC there.

My boss is wealthy and self sufficient, lol - every year I buy a huge arrangement for her from a local florist (with boughs of greenery, candle, etc.) that she uses to decorate her living room as she entertains a lot.
