Christmas Gift Ideas for my Boss - Loves Nordstrom

[JGator]

Hi, does anyone have any Christmas gift suggestions for my boss? She is in her late 40s with 2 children (10 and 14). She is very classy and professional. Her favorite store is Nordstrom, and I know she shops there all the time. She bought my baby girl 12 outfits from Nordstrom for my work baby shower in sizes newborn up to 2T which she thoughtfully bought over a 4 month period. She also loves the Red Door Salon and drinks tea. I don't want to get a gift certificate as that will show how much I spent. She always gets thoughtful gifts for her team, and I would like to do something nice this year as she has been very accommodating with my pregnancy and current maternity leave. I am willing to spend around $50-$75 for her gift. Thanks for any ideas you might have.

What about some sample teas and/or a (Japanese) cast iron teapot? I have this one http://www.teavana.com/tea-products/teapots-teapot-sets/cast-iron-teapots/p/small-hobnail-cast-iron-black-teapot in a larger size and it keeps my tea wonderfully warm, and I think it'd be a lovely gift - very elegant and unexpected.

Well, these two are both out of budget but super neat for tea:

Tea Forte has a really pretty teapot too, but I have not seen at Nordstrom.

Another idea:

And order her one of these, Mom's Traditional is the best

Or for "spa at home"

Here are some ideas:

A really nice throw from Nordstrom:

Tea items set. You can get all of these for your budget.

My husband and I adore tea. And I've tried all kinds of pots. This one is the best I've ever used: http://www.teavana.com/tea-products/teapots-teapot-sets/glass-teapots/p/camellia-cylindre-glass-tea-maker

My husband uses this one at work: http://www.teavana.com/tea-products/tea-makers-infusers/p/large-perfectea-tea-maker-ii?cm_sp=Recos-_-ProductPage-_-8&cm_vc=pdpz1

And this is my favorite tea mug: http://www.teavana.com/tea-products/tea-cups-mugs/glass-tea-cups/p/grande-tasse-glass-tea-mug?cm_sp=Recos-_-BlendsWShow-_-%3C%=index

And if she takes sugar: http://www.teavana.com/tea-products/rock-sugar-honey/p/german-rock-sugar-1-lb?cm_sp=Recos-_-ProductPage-_-7&cm_vc=pdpz1

Oh, I love all of these tea-themed gifts. I think you can't go wrong with them, they're all so elegant. And there's something about a nice cup of tea that makes everything feel great.

I wanted to revive this thread as I followed Gypsy's advice and purchased 2 items she suggested on this thread last year for my manager this year. Teavana has a $15 off $45 code right now - CAA15. I purchased 2 tea mugs - http://www.teavana.com/tea-products/tea-cups-mugs/glass-tea-cups/p/grande-tasse-glass-tea-mug?cm_sp=Recos-_-BlendsWShow-_-%3C and the tea maker http://www.teavana.com/tea-products/teapots-teapot-sets/glass-teapots/p/camellia-cylindre-glass-tea-maker.. Thanks for everyone's thoughtful advice. I think these ideas will get me through a few years if I am fortunate to keep the same manager who loves Tea, Spas, and Nordstrom. I had a 2-month old baby last year so I was not as responsive and thankful as I should have been on this thread. Thanks again to everyone who replied to my post!
