Dh and I love receiving updates that our loans have been repaid and are ready to be reinvested. MIL loved it so much that she gets them for other people all the time now </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-stepmom#post-1989796 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 11:10:16 +0000 psw27 1989796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second @charm54 - Kiva is amazing! I got a gift card for my wedding over 3 years ago and I have reinvested the money a half dozen times by now and added to it. I also gave my family gift cards from there last year and they all loved them and got really into it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-stepmom#post-1989766 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 10:53:48 +0000 yellowbird 1989766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: she volunteers with our local Kiwanis group and I think they just do really random service projects. There is nothing specific I can go on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-stepmom#post-1989763 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 10:53:00 +0000 yellowbird 1989763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: great idea! I think my step grandma would enjoy that who I've also been struggling to come up with ideas for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-stepmom#post-1989762 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 10:52:12 +0000 yellowbird 1989762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Charm54: oh my gosh! That organization looks amazing. That might be a great gift! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-stepmom#post-1989690 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 10:18:39 +0000 Mamaof2 1989690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about a nice pen and paper set from Vera Bradley? Hallmark carries those in the store </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-stepmom#post-1989685 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 10:16:58 +0000 Charm54 1989685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL loved Kiva Points when we bought her those last year ... Kiva.org </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-stepmom#post-1989681 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 10:15:31 +0000 Smurfette 1989681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My FIL and SMIL buy everything they want. Gifts we give them go unopened for years. It is sad. I feel like I am wasting money buying then stuff. That said we got SMIL a wine chiller rod thing and glasses. I got the chiller on amazon. It looks pretty cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-stepmom#post-1989656 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 10:00:41 +0000 jhd 1989656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: where does she volunteer? Is there any gift that would relate to that somehow? I'm thinking like if she volunteers at the hospital some nice hand cream and sanitizer. I have the hardest time shopping for parents too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-stepmom#post-1989648 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 09:57:25 +0000 yellowbird 1989648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I also live in the middle of nowhere and don't think I have time for shipping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-stepmom#post-1989643 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 09:56:05 +0000 blackbird 1989643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about Uncommon Goods? They always have random shit that is appealing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-stepmom#post-1989642 Thu, 18 Dec 2014 09:54:04 +0000 yellowbird 1989642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad and stepmom are impossible to buy for. They buy everything they want/need. I bought both her and my dad their fav perfume/cologne but I want to get her one more small thing.</p> <p>They rarely eat out except when travelling, she has 1000 purses and handbags, every scarf imaginable, I always buy her nice gloves. What else is left?! I'm terrible at picking out jewlery.</p> <p>I got my dad a set of golf balls because that's his hobby. She volunteers a lot but otherwise I'm not sure what she likes doing! She likes decorating and crafting I guess. I'm stuck! </p>
