Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | Need Secret Santa Help Ok so we're doing secret santa at work. The person i got is a mother of two young boys and she's about 30/31 years old. She pulls a lot of hours at work, then goes to her mothers to pick up the kids (grandma babysits) and then goes home to her husband. She doesn't get a lot of free time to herself, she is always with teh kids when she's not at work. at first i was thinking aromatherapy stuff or bath stuff, but then i realized she'd never use it. there's no way she has the time for a relaxing bath by herself. I don't really want to go the gift certificate way and i don't want to make her something. So what do you guys think i should get her?

| Well did you guys happen to do a wish list? We made up a wish list of 5 items to "help" out our buddies. I love the fuzzy socks(slippers) that bath and body works has they are so soft. That is a start............ what is your budget/limit?

| starbucks gift card. I think the bath & body works stuff would be good idea. You could go with the lotion and body spray. Gift card for mani/pedi, it would force her to do something for herself, which she probably needs to do. Maybe a craft project she could do with the kids. Those kits where they do the hand prints of the kids. or movie coupons, pass to the children's museum/zoo or something like that. Sweater, mittens/scarft set, perfume, picture frame, Do you have Dinners Ready there? Those are cool, but probably out of the secret santa range, nevermind.....

| I think you can never go wrong with picture frames or a Christmas ornament. Maybe you could get her a cd to listen to on her way to and from work.

The crafts with the kids is a cute idea. We have a $25 limit.

| could it be that she doesn't get something because she doesn't want to spend the money on a coffee or does she just not like it there? |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | during the summer she used to get the ice tea lemonades but in the cold weather she doesn't get anything.

| we also are doing ss at work. A coworker jokingly wrote on her wish list a day free of kids..so my coworker printed up a certificate on the computer for a free day of babysitting-she is going to take them out to eat and to the movies-can't wait till she opens it!! Would something like that be possible??
