We just got an invite to a birthday party for DH's aunt (wife of MIL's brother) this Saturday.
Any ideas for a small gift under $25?
We're not super close so I really don't know much about her. I asked MIL but she was no help.
I have Amazon Prime so that will be easiest!

I always default to things like candles and hand soaps with older people I don't know. Maybe like a set from Williams Sonoma. So boring, I know..

I don't normally buy gifts for my aunts and uncles and I'm pretty close with all of them. I would take a bouquet of flowers or a bottle of wine. $10 or less.

@T-Mom: LOL me too but then I feel like those always sit and collect dust...like they do in my house.
@mediagirl: I don't usually either but it's a party so I feel obligated to. And every time she's come to visit us when M was just born she always brought her a little gift. And this is the aunt who's husband just passed so I think her kids are throwing her a party to lift her spirits.

@locavore_mama: Do you know anything about what she likes? Hobbies, etc? Does she like to knit, anything like that? Something to keep her busy during a difficult time?

@locavore_mama: oh okay. I didn't realize she had visited you, brought gifts, etc. I still would do wine or flowers but I think wine is a fantastic gift (if they drink).

I second the bottle of wine/chocolates and flowers. Always my go to for family birthday parties.

Are purse holders still a thing? I'd get that, a lipstick case and a monogrammed pill box. Can you tell I am thinking of something for a 60+ year old? Also really nice hand lotion for adding mosturing or refucing fine lines and wrinkles.

I was going to say fancy chocolates and/or wine! I'd love someone to bring some Teuscher or John Kelly truffles right now actually.

A pretty scarf? They're universal, and in season with winter coming up.
