As I'm older now, and have everything I need. Now, I find I really enjoy restaurant gift cards. Believe me, I have had my fill of tchotchkes, mugs, pictures frames and scarves!

Movie tickets. Its nice to get a break away from everything once in awhile. No more junk please

Everyone appreciates gift cards. I get them at CVS and several don't have an add-on fee to buy (ex. TJ Maxx or AMC) and many others. Then, I get a nice little gift bag, a greeting card, and a nice small bag of candy at CVS (usually have 2 for one deals) and then present it. It looks festive and it looks like it took a little more time than just handing someone a gift card w/o a greeting.

Gift card to World Market

^^ w some token gift ie small box of chocolates or coffee mug

Gift card to somewhere utterly practical, kohl's or similar, restaurant gift card to chain restaurant.

candy from when they were kids? there is some website that sells candy by decade I think

Perhaps a gift basket with items that they enjoy. Do they like coffee, tea, chocolate? Do they like to read? Do they like lottery scratch tickets?
The basket does not need to be large - just add a few things that they may enjoy.

Hi there-
I want to buy a small ($20-35ish) holiday gift for two secretaries at work who are between 55-65. They are both mothers of adult children and are caring for aging parents. They are not the massage/mani/pedi types. Any ideas for something that would be appreciated? Particular brands or product ideas are welcome.

Thanks!
