What kind of gifts do you like?

numbersgirl08numbersgirl08 member
in June 2013 Moms
In preparation of our Mother's Day swap - what kind of gifts do you like ($30 or less) and what things do you hate?  This can be a useful thread when we are shopping for our partner :)

(Clearly, a wish list will be even more helpful - and hopefully some of these ideas can help when you put together your wish list - but I thought it'd be fun to talk about it here too!)

Examples:

Books
Cookbooks
Magazine subscriptions
Jewelry
Candles
Vases
Beauty supplies
Workout videos
Gift cards to different stores
Flowers
Chocolates
Wine/Alcohol
Scarves
Stationary
Cute socks
Gardening supplies
Coffee
Drinkware (like coffee mugs or wine glasses or cool drink glasses)
Coasters
Kitchen linens (towels, mitts, etc.)
Kitchen tools
Kitchen accessories
Decorative bowls
Knitting/Crocheting/etc accessories
Figurines
House linens - towels, sheets, etc.
Candy
Bags (purses or other kinds of bags)
Umbrella
Workout gear (weights, yoga mat, etc)
Robe/PJs/loungewear
And anything else you can think of!

    Excellent idea to help broaden the scope from the specifics that are on wishlists!

    Likes:
    Jewelry (Silver)
    Workout videos (I've been interested to try pure barre)
    Flowers
    Chocolates (Dark!!!!)
    Wine/Alcohol (allllll the booze, but you can't ship booze to my state, alas)
    Scarves
    Cute socks (funkier the colors the better)
    Gardening supplies
    Knitting/Crocheting/etc accessories (knit knit knit!!)  Also - just getting into quilling and chainmail jewelry making :-D
    Workout gear (weights, yoga mat, etc)
    Robe/PJs/loungewear

    As far as dislikes, I'm really pretty crunchy granola, and when it comes to cosmetics etc, if it doesn't score well on the EWG.org database, I'm not using it.  I am totally not a candle person, and I think that's about it.

    Likes: frames, candles, tea supplies (like Teavana stuff), gift cards, wine, books (I'm a book snob though), movies (mostly sci-fi, fantasy, and action films)

    Dislikes: jewelry (I'm picky and don't wear a lot of different jewelry), perfumes, makeup (I have sensitive skin and need specific stuff)

    I also love chocolate!

    Some of the things I like are jewelry(sterling silver and I'm loving etsy more now), chocolate or sour candy, fun nail polish, gift cards, movies(breakfast at tiffanys is my fave of all time and I'm all about mad men), wine(moscato is great), purses, loungewear, fun mugs or glasses, beauty supplies, books, music..

    Nothing I really dislike, I've got tons of candles and soaps/lotions.

    I really like wine (not sweet), chocolate, iTunes or Barnes & Noble gift cards, coffee, fun olives/pickles, fuzzy socks and chewing gum (to combat the wine-coffee-pickle breath).

    Likes: anything with a charity angle, I listed a couple things on my wishlist that are under the $30 that benefit charity (a bracelet and water bottle). I also like to be surprised, so don't feel like the wishlist is a requirement, just a suggestion in the right direction. Since I am getting into working out and eating well, anything in that vein would be awesome (maybe some ear buds). If there is a book you just think I have to read I would love it :)

    Dislikes: anything kitchy or without function. Give me something I can use/consume!!

    likes: 
    mystery/drama books- think The Da Vinci Code
    Candles
    Wine (Reisling and Moscato, but I'll seriously try anything)
    Coffee & coffee accessories (k cups, coffee mugs, etc)
    Hair accessories
    Bags- My diaper bag broke and I need a new one (although that's pricey and might buy it on my own) 
    Makeup- I love sampling different lipsticks, balms and stains. I like mechanical eyeliners too. 

    Edit: I also like anything involving France/Paris, and birds. 

    I don't need anything for the house or kitchen. I'm good with chocolate and candy (I'll be getting a lot for Easter). I'm picky with jewelry, plus, DH is going to be like "WHO got that for you, I don't remember getting that for you?!?" lol
