    Gift certificate for mani/pedi/massage? Most gals like a little pamering.
    What a sweet brother. :heart:

    Is she athletic? Maybe some new gear for her recreational activities would be sweet.

    A new jacket/coat -- like a down jacket or something?

    My rule is, if you're not sure go with cash or gift cards plus a lovely card.

    Me? Personally, I'd love some cash to go shopping with. I love shoes :3

    Lots of great ideas here .. have you ever asked her what is something she would love? Does she ever mention anything in conversation .. in passing .. "Oh.. I just saw the ads for that new iPad mini .. sure would love to check that out" .. or "I saw this cute outfit at Macy's (or Nordstrom)" ...

    Pay attention and don't be shy to ask her. She may of course say .. "aww .. you don't need to get me anything.. " but I bet you can find her something super awesome and special .. something like a keepsake she'll remember forever ..

    maybe create a photobook of the years you 2 have shared growing up and now .. :-)

    I second a gift certificate for something pampering. Or a season of a TV show she likes (but doesn't own), her favorite movie on DVD, a coupon to help her clean her classroom at the end of the school year...

    A necklace or bracelet? Earrings?
    My brother got me a (real) gold bracelet for Christmas 10+ years ago and I love it so much that I still wear it often.

    I asked for a gym membership for Christmas - but some girls would find that insulting.
    Does she like to read? Any books she might like?
    How about a vacation or spa day?

    If she's a teacher I would say something relaxing/pampering like a massage or mani/pedi or facial. Or see if she needs anything for her classroom, my stepsister is a teacher and that makes her the most excited because then she doesn't have to spend her own money on her classroom.

    Depending on how much you want to spend and her style you can get her a gift certificate to a clothing store, a nice wallet (Michael Kors, Coach, Kate Spade, Dooney & Bourke, Tory Burch, Hobo, etc) or a nice watch (Fossil, Michael Kors, etc) or a pair of earrings.

    If she's into fitness what about a workout program she's really wanted or a gift certificate to somewhere like lululemon?

    I second this. Pampering is always welcome. Make her feel like a princess. Also please be my brother too! Mine's an *kitten*.

    She usually buys whatever she wants, which is why im having a hard time with this. The only thing ive heard her mention is the new iphone 5 but that would have to come with a contract. She already has an ipad 2, a macbook air, tons and tons of shoes, walk in closet full of clothes. She is athletic and is always going to the gym. But i just dont really know. Good ideas though.

    Probably the best answer! I'm asking for a new toilet. I would love to get something pampering, but then I'd just want more and know that wont happen... so I just want things I need and that will make life easier.

    What I want for Christmas is a new bed.

    BUT your sister probably already has that.

    Have you considered asking her what she'd like?

    If not I'd suggest a gift card and/or MONEY! :P

    For me, a nice bathrobe is always a welcome gift. Emphasis on nice, no cheap terry cloth :) Useful and luxurious

    My brother and I are the same way. Last year he gave me a diamond tennis braclet which is gorgeous. Since she is a teacher and is probably low key with jewlery, you may want to to consider a pearls or opals. The mani/pedi is great and I am sure she would love it but it seems a bit impersonal Now, an entire spa day would be a different story. Good luck.

    I don't have a brother OR a sister! :sad:

    I will never say no to a massage/spa day.

    Or anything Corgi related.

    Or anything Dallas Cowboys related.

    Or cupcakes.

    I really want some new Victoria's Secret yoga pants this year. And some tail lights for my car. That's about it..

    I cheat - I ask other family members for ideas. For example, I asked my mom what to get for my brother, and she went off about how he needs a men's hygiene bag, because the last time he went to a convention, he just put his stuff in a gallon ziplock bag! So I got him a boring men's hygiene bag - then spiced it up with a Chocobo washcloth! :D

    Tickets to something she loves - museum, concert, ballet, etc...
    A weekend/night class - cooking, pottery, interpretive dance, etc
    A magazine subscription
    An ipod (if she lives under a rock and doesnt have one) with all her (or your) favourite music downloaded on it
    Go to an artisan craft show and get her something beautiful for her home (wood/glass/stone art, a painting, or kitchen utensels), or a unique clothing item.
    If she goes to the gym, paying for her membership for a few months, or some training/boxing sessions
    If she likes rollercoasters, and you have a park near you, a day out there.
    A Hickory Farm gift basket

    I like random gifts that one can't purchase at the mall... well, besides the Hickory Farm gift basket.
