The one I bought looks more like this with the vertical and distinct floral separation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-fun-gift-ideas-for-my-sisters-bday#post-1705883 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 17:31:48 +0000 Running Elley 1705883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: The neon pink is my favorite :) I think that plus earrings would be perfect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-fun-gift-ideas-for-my-sisters-bday#post-1705876 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 17:28:19 +0000 coopsmama 1705876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I just googled salad bowl made out of dried flowers and this came up: <a href="http://www.bonanza.com/listings/Designer-Real-Dried-Flower-Lucite-Houseware-Serving-Salad-bowl-On-Sale/152110479" rel="nofollow">http://www.bonanza.com/listings/Designer-Real-Dried-Flower-Lucite-Houseware-Serving-Salad-bowl-On-Sale/152110479</a></p> <p>Is that the sort of bowl you mean? I've never heard of that before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-fun-gift-ideas-for-my-sisters-bday#post-1705875 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 17:27:00 +0000 coopsmama 1705875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: Ooooh I'm loving the neon pink color. She would look hot in that with her summer tan which I'm sure she'd appreciate! ;) Maybe that + earrings? Affordable but still nice.</p> <p>I think I'm almost definitely saving the wreath idea for her Christmas present so that I don't have to think of something then, too! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-fun-gift-ideas-for-my-sisters-bday#post-1705872 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 17:23:52 +0000 coopsmama 1705872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: That is SO cute, too. I bet she would love that because of a personal situation involving her upcoming engagement. (I haven't always been the most supportive sister concerning this relationship because she is actually dating my brother in law and it was awkward for me to think of them getting together and I was wrong and definitely let her know that. I thought she was too young (she's 4 years younger than me and they got interested in each other after J and I started dating) and that she was just hopping on the bandwagon but apparently not as they are still together and planning for a winter wedding. BIL is closer to my age. It's in the past now, but I'm sure she'd appreciate the show of support! Anyways, sorry for the rabbit trail! :)) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-fun-gift-ideas-for-my-sisters-bday#post-1705869 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 17:21:49 +0000 Running Elley 1705869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: I have this workout shirt in like every color and LOVE it! <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=53934&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=939724072" rel="nofollow">http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=53934&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=939724072</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-fun-gift-ideas-for-my-sisters-bday#post-1705867 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 17:20:52 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1705867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A fancy salad bowl and utensils. I bought one for my mom that was made out of dried flowers. It's definitely a conversation piece. Then you could also add in a salad cookbook and write in as if that were the card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-fun-gift-ideas-for-my-sisters-bday#post-1705864 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 17:19:46 +0000 coopsmama 1705864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I did a gift card last year and don't want to do that again. It felt kinda lame since she has a knack for buying everyone the perfect gift. I wasn't born with that skill. ;) </p> <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: That's a good point. She hasn't mentioned anything specific so probably best to stay away from that until I get a handle on the style they choose for their future home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-fun-gift-ideas-for-my-sisters-bday#post-1705860 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 17:17:54 +0000 Running Elley 1705860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm more ideas....what about a cute wreath for her front door with her (soon to be) new last initial on it?

I want them for me ;) but they are definitely going on my list! I have to order something by tonight. She'd love Kate Spade. </p> <p>@Running Elley: Cute workout shirts are a great idea. She and her almost-fiancé spend a lot of time working out. Adding to the list! (I think she has the rest of the items you mentioned -- told you she's a toughie!) :) And happy early birthday to your sister! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-fun-gift-ideas-for-my-sisters-bday#post-1705854 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 17:16:46 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1705854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Home decor is tricky because it's so personal. Has she eyed any thing you can surprise her with? How about a gift card to Art.com or Home Goods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-fun-gift-ideas-for-my-sisters-bday#post-1705849 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 17:14:20 +0000 autumnlove 1705849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: I was thinking a gift card to Sephora or Ulta but you said no gcs! :-p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-fun-gift-ideas-for-my-sisters-bday#post-1705848 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 17:13:55 +0000 Running Elley 1705848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmmm my sister sounds very similar and her birthday is next week as well!!! I think I'm going to get her a foam roller, some fun workout shirts and something else....</p> <p>In the past I've gotten her these things that she's loved as well:<br /> - fun fedora hat (great for summer)<br /> - cute customized planner<br /> - TOMs<br /> - a cookbook </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-fun-gift-ideas-for-my-sisters-bday#post-1705844 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 17:12:15 +0000 lawbee11 1705844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: Does she like jewelry?

They're 50% off so she'll think you spent way more than you did :wink: </p> <p><a href="http://m.katespade.com/lemon-tart-starfish-studs/WBRU7696%2Cen_US%2Cpd.html?dwvar_WBRU7696_color=711&#038;cgid=ks-sale-jewelry" rel="nofollow">http://m.katespade.com/lemon-tart-starfish-studs/WBRU7696%2Cen_US%2Cpd.html?dwvar_WBRU7696_color=711&#038;cgid=ks-sale-jewelry</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-fun-gift-ideas-for-my-sisters-bday#post-1705836 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 17:06:44 +0000 coopsmama 1705836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shameless bump ;) -- ideas, anyone? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-need-fun-gift-ideas-for-my-sisters-bday#post-1705531 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 14:32:16 +0000 coopsmama 1705531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister will be 20 on Saturday! She is super beautiful, super stylish, very active, and a gymnastics coach. She's about a year away from getting married to her longtime boyfriend and, as such, is really into home decor and stuff recently. She's the type to regularly get pedicures and manicures so salon services are out, unfortunately.</p> <p>I'm having a hard time coming up with something affordable (June has been a rough month for us with several homeowner type repairs and purchases to make) that will be exciting to her but I don't want to go the gift card route. </p> <p>Does anyone have any ideas for something fun for her? It could be an accessory, fun clothes, home decor, whatever. I'm just looking for a must-have that she'll enjoy and use and that can be shipped to my house. :) </p>
