Gift idea
« on: August 25, 2021, 12:14:36 AM »
I'd like to get a gift for someone that did me a big favor.
She's a secular, married, Russian woman with young teenage children.


I was thinking $150-$350, depending on what it is.


I'm at a total loss. 
Jewelry comes to mind, but I can't get anything worthwhile for my price, and I don't know what she'd like.

About jewelry many jewelry stores sell gift cards, you can put on any amount you want and she can buy/add according to her liking

Would you rather give something that she her self would use or something for the family/kids?

I'd rather it be for her.  But we've had a discussion where I gave her some parenting tips.

I'm not sure the relationship between you and her, but sometimes they appreciate more when you give something she can enjoy sharing with her kids. Then you would have an easier field for the budget you are looking for.

Maybe some sort of getaway vacation?
i.e tickets to theme park,
or hotel with pool
etc..

If you want it to just be for her, maybe buy her a day at the spa with her husband?

I'd love ideas for her kids too.  I agree that if it's good for her kids/ family, it's a valuable gift for her.

She's actually away at a family vacation now. I want to give this to her when she comes back.

Do you know what she personally wouldn't spend on for herself?

I feel like Russians often times like to have nice things in their house/decorations.
Something up that alley? Have you been in her house and know what void you can fill? Or maybe a gift card to a homewares store.

Maybe a set of linen.  Of course I have no idea what size her bed is.  But that sounds like something she'd feel pampered to  have.  Expensive linen isn't a universal thing.

I was offered a set of linen at work and felt it was very weird and inappropriate. Again, I'm a guy and was offered by an older chassidish guy so prob different
