    I like the spa ideas...gift card are the gifts that keep on giving. Or a nice necklace or earrings that she can wear everyday. We all love jewelry. :smile:

    Enough can't be said for a gift card or cash, but if you go that route, a nice card with an honest and heartfelt message on the inside makes it a little more personal. My younger brother does this when he's stumped for ideas.

    You could also draw on your childhood for ideas. Maybe a copy of her favorite book when you guys were little, a dvd of a movie you used to watch...nostalgic, emotional stuff is always a nice surprise if you think she'd be into that kind of thing.

    Gift cards are great, so is money. What does she like? Bath and body works gift card? Jewelry? What are her hobbies? Things to consider.:smile:

    If she is the type that buys everything she wants then I say go sentimental. My brother gave me the DVD Never Ending Story one year and I almost cried! I loved it when I was maybe 5 years old and twenty years later he remembered. It probably cost him $5 on amazon but I love it more than anything! I would love for a boxed set of Little House on th Prairie books or something like that.

    Good Luck!

    how about something you can do together... like a gift certificate to paintball, and you go with her. or something like that. my original thought was a bicycle, and if you have one or get one, it is something you can both motivate each other to do. what about a heart rate monitor? or tickets to a sporting event you both would enjoy? a nice watch?

    I am all about Victoria's secret lotion. They have this vanilla lace scent that is just so good you almost want to eat it!!

    Kida creepy, it's for his sister... :noway:

    Cash is King my brotha.. lol
    No really if u don't wanna do cash or gift certificate, u have to pay attention to wha she likes..

    ie: Fitness girls always need new good running shoes. You can take her somewhere she can get custom fitted! Or on Nike you can make some custome ordered picking her fav colors!

    Music or movies girl: Ipod, apple downloads, Dvds of her fav movies

    Fashion: Some rockin jeans like True religion or a Michael Kors purse, some red bottoms *swoon* something trendy yah know :glasses:

    Good luck.. I'm very close w my bro and he always does a great job of picking things out for me.. BUT he likes to do it when I'm w him so he can flirt w the sales girll.. awwe how sweet:wink:

    That is so sweet! I would say some kinda of gift card/gift certificate and maybe a special photo of you two when you were younger to make it more personal.

    A Springfield XD-S :)
    http://xdspistol.com/

    It comes in a .45 round, and because they single stack the magazine it is super easy to conceal. Plus it fits really well into my hand. I'm a big fan of the Springfield XD models, and I can't wait till I can own the XDS.

    Very nice that you are wanting to show her how much you love your sister!'
    I loved the memory book idea, and at the end, maybe a little note about a special trip for you both!! Vegas, or the Tropics with some blank pages for the trip and the future
    If she knows you love her, she will love the gift, regardless of what it is because she will know it comes with love!

    I lost my big brother when I was 18, he was only 24. I have missed him everyday of my life!! I named my first child after him!!

    Cherish these moments!!

    Sooo I'm a bit younger (22 female) but maybe I can help.
    Think about things she may want/need but just hasn't gotten around to getting. Or something she has that's kind of old but she hasn't gotten a new one yet.
    I'm not sure how much money you have to spend but some ideas
    - sheet set for her bed (or comforter, etc.) good quality. or a pillow or something
    - nice office chair
    - desk lamp (or floor lamp! lol)
    - camera
    - donation to a charity in her name
    - gift card to one of her favourite stores (clothing, department, etc.) Gift cards are really nice when paired with a small personal gift aka homemade cookies, framed photo, small plant, something that is an inside joke between the two of you
    - speakers for a computer

    Hope you find something that she loves!

    A spot just opened. Now accepting applications for a brother. Hint hint.

    Anyways lol

    I would love a nice painting to put on my living room wall and I love abstract.
    I looooove scented candles!
    I actually dont mind getting cleaning supplies as gifts...new broom, mop, swiffers ect...
    What girl doesnt love cozy new jammys 2 sizes too big?



    and on the awwww side... If I were you I would find a custom apple, gold or chrome...glittery or whatnot... to put on her desk saying something like. "youll always be my fave teacher" ..something like that


    PS...IMO... gift cards or cash is kind of tacky. Pretty much just tells the person that you didnt try hard enough to find them something special.

    Does she have any hobbies? If so, a gift card for something related.
    Gift card to her favorite store? (Dillards, Macys, TJ Maxx, JC Penney, Sephora, Ulta, Kohls, Target)
    Music gift card

    A couple things to consider
    1. What is your budget?
    2. what does she like?

    I'm actually making all my Christmas gifts to people... The homemade gifts seem to be a big hit! Does she like to travel? Has she been to a lot of other countries? Make her a charm bracelet with a coin from each country she has been to... That's what I did for my family and friends that like to travel.

    Or you could make her a letter art sign of her last name... or first name if she isn't married, or one that says Merry Christmas or Noel or something...


    If you want to visualize what any of these look like... visit my Etsy page... I have them all on there if you want ideas... http://www.etsy.com/shop/whatsyourstoryphoto ... Or if she does like to travel but you either dont' know how, or dont' want to take the time... If I have the coins from the places she has been to... I can custom make as well.

    You might want to check out your local holiday craft shows... I'm going to a fair trade market next weekend where women in 3rd world countries make unique jewelry, purses from their village, and then missionaries come and sell them at local churches or craft shows around Christmas town... she gets a unique item, and you get to support people in 3rd world countries... win win.

    If you want to buy her something... I'd say either get a gift card to a restaurant or shop that she likes to go to... or maybe take her there, and out to lunch or something... I'm a very practical person... Massages are also always good... so is jewelry... diamond earrings to be specific :)
