Birthday Gift Idea for Casual Mom Friend

Updated on October 02, 2012
J.F. asks from Milledgeville, GA

I get together regularly with a group of moms from my child's school, and one of them is having a birthday soon. I would like to give her a small gift, but am stuck for creative ideas - I'd like to do something different than the usual gift card, bottle of wine, etc. Ordinarily I would make a sweet treat, but she is super into fitness and doesn't eat much sugar. She doesn't really have any other hobbies or activities that would lend themselves to easy gift-giving.

Got any suggestions?

What can I do next?

-Amazon Gift Card (she can use this for anything fitness related)
-Scentsy
-You can still make a treat, but make it healthy, like a spice bread with applesauce instead of sugar, or do something like Harry & David chips and salsa
-Sports Water bottle (does she run, if yes, get her one that hooks to her)
-Athleta Gift Card (fitness store)

I sell Thirty-one products, cute yet practical totes, coolers, bags, etc. If she likes to workout, she might like a tote for the gym or a cooler for her drinks. You can check out my website at www.mythirtyone.com/198073 if you are interested. There are some cute prints and a great deal on some of the bags this month. Check it out! Contact me if you have any questions!

How much time do you have? you could make your own 'babysitting' voucher and offer to mind her kids one night so she can go out for a date night birthday celebration.
