Hey young people - need gift ideas!

Did you ask her what she wanted? All I have to do is ask my 21 year old daughter what she wants and I get a whole list from her. Sometimes she even sends me links to things she wants online.

Why not get something very similar to what your husband got you or even just get her the exact samething? sometimes matching stuff is cool

also if it gets cold where she lives i suggest a really big soft blanket. a big enough one that she can lay on in between her comforter or sheets.

when it gets cold here an you get in bed an if you only have sheets or a comforter to lay in between they feel nasty. almost a wet feel or something to them because they are so cold. makes you cold while you lay there waiting for them to warm up.

or if youre looking for something unique to get her try http://www.etsy.com/ they have all kinds of pretty jewelry an cute random trinket stuff. just gotta dig a little to find them.

While I love getting gift cards, go direct to the source. The gift cards you buy at supermarkets are a complete rip off! By the time you pay activation fees etc etc, you've given the card companies a ton of money for nothing. Believe me, I'm in retail and I know. That little gift card "mall" at Safeway? Highest profit spot per square foot of the entire store.
I love Karen's idea of nesting bowls. I got some when I first moved out and have them to this day. Make sure they are tempered glass and can take heat. A good pan is always useful. Cooks Illustrated is a fantastic magazine that I keep for years and years for instuctions and tips. She will love whatever you get her. Happy Holidays!

I wish it were that easy! I asked her, hubby asked her... and she said she doesn't want anything.

Karen, funny you mention the nesting bowls because we had them already for her

And I think I've convinced hubby that we need to give her the necklace instead of me keeping it. One, its white gold (I prefer yellow myself). Two, its garnet, her birthstone. Three, I know she'll love it because she picked out the matching ring last year (which was WAY out of our budget... in fact the necklace was too, but it was on clearance this year). Its gorgeous with a pinkish garnet in the center of diamonds with 3 pink tormaline on top. Very elegant and classic.

seems you´re all set then .. I bet she´ll love it

I´m kinda like "I don´t want/need anything" too... but for instance there have been years that I ended up saying.. if you want to give me something I need or want.. give me either SD memory cards or a bag of dog food.. that simple.. and I really mean it..
