Hi everyone!
I need help ASAP finding the perfect Christmas gift for my Aunt P. Up until this year, my family has always done a gift card exchange, where we play different games and earn gift cards from there. However, this Christmas is much smaller than ever before and we decided to do a Secret Santa exchange instead...and I drew my Aunt P. I bought her a lovely robe yesterday at Macy''s...but want to do more. We have a budget of $50.00...and I spent $15.00 of it yesterday at on a robe that was orginially priced at $80.00 (great deal, huh?). But now I am stuck! I do not want to "jip" her and consider myself lucky I got a good deal on the robe and buy nothing else...I want to spoil her, its been a hard year....So, please, any suggestions are totally welcome....
Background:
My Aunt isn''t "girly" at all. She worked at a large factory for 20+ years, and was recently let go--she now delivers newspapers to makes ends meet. Her husband is terminally ill with RSD, and the stress of paying for his medication and caring for him in general now that they no longer have insurance has mentally wore her down to the point her hands peel severely. She is 54 years old, typically wears jeans or sweat pants with a sweat shirt or lose fitting sweater...she certainly isn''t into clothing, or makeup, or jewels and the only time I''ve ever seen her "dressed up" was for the bridal shower she threw me, and for my wedding.
She is an incredible person. Kind, loving, and understanding, and even with all her current hardships, is still funny.
TIA!!!!
