I will say a couple things
1. Scented body lotions and soaps – a lot of people have skin irritations. I usually get a basket or two of these every year from a friend or relative. They go to the donation bin.
2. If you know, the person likes chocolate or coffee or wine, these are quick and easy and usually a hit.
3. Candles, if you know they like candles.

Most of these are imaginary and people think they're too good for these things. Just buy high quality, not Bath& Bodyworks level crap. Tons of high end companies out there with clean and organic ingredients.

What is everyone's obsession with socks on here? I would question our friendship if you gave me socks.

Wine/champagne, a book, bath or body oil, a "coupon" for some kind of fun outing together.

Socks. WTF, are you my grandmother??

I have too much stuff so I’d like a meal out on her. Preferably together, not a gift card.

I know many people here hate TJ Maxx, but I just bought myself a really soft and warm heated throw there for $30.

Lots of great suggestions!

Pretty candle. Puzzle. Nicer gloves than I’d buy for myself. Fancy chocolates.

A special ornament
Her favorite coffee flavors or tea sampler
Window herb thingy if she cooks
Olive oil and herb dip
Fancy chocolates
Wine and chocolate pairing like Brix
Homemade goodies
Cozy socks and bath salts with essential oil

The things I give as gifts to non-family: a book, a plant— either an amaryllis planted in a stone pot or a nice rosemary bush— or homemade chocolate truffles.

Fancy soap, candle or candy from a local small business.

I second hand lotions and tea.
(not coffee beans unless you know they use them)

If you are buying in person, try to go to a small shop. Doesn't really matter what you buy but you can also mention that it's "local"
Lots of people love that.

(not penzeys I'm so sick of their shilling on here)

Also sick of the penzeys shilling on here. Its tried.

These are even worse than the wine ones. These look like something left over from a bridal shower.

No to this. Hate mismatched stemware/glassware. At least 6 if you do.

same. I would trash them.

They look like cheap glasses you get as a favor from a wedding.
