Scarlett
She's my husbands best friends wife.
Stuck up is too harsh of a word. She can be fun, but I will say she's very "PROPER".
She prefers the finer things in life. We are a family on a tight budget.
I don't know what kind of party this is going to be yet.
HELP!

OK, I would NEVER buy a gift to try and 'keep up with the Jones'. I like my gifts to either say something about me, OR that will be totally different to anything else the person will receive. Money does NOT talk (IMHO). If it was ME, I would appeal to the 'fun' side of this woman. Give her 30 X 30 'useless items' (Because people dread turning 30)......
30 X Spent Matches,
30 X Grains of sand
30 X Used lottery tickets
30 X Take away menus
......you get the idea. It wont cost much...but, by the time you FIND 30 examples of 30 useless things, and wrap them up in lovely wrapping...no one will be in any doubt as to how much THOUGHT and TIME has been put into it - and it will be NOTING like ANYTHING she will have been given before!
The last thing people with money appreciate is an expensive gft -if they WANTED 'that' they will have already bought it themselves! Appeal to the PERSON, rather than the bank balance!
Always works for me, anyway!

30th Birthday gift ideas?
My sister is going to be 30 on Tuesday, and she's SOO difficult to buy for, she's a typical, modern, independent woman, and if there's something she wants, she buys it, which means she's so hard to buy for! She's outdoorsy, loves surfing, likes music (but I don't know of any CDs she wants) she reads, but she's not mentioned any books that she wants. 30 is a landmark birthday, and all of her friends are away at the time, none of them will be here to celebrate with her, so I really want to do as much as I can.. I've got a key from her housemate and I'm going to go and decorate the house on Tuesday, I've ordered a cake and bought her some wine, but what should I buy her? I was thinking, maybe a spa day, or a massage treatment, I'm not sure? I really want to go all out, she's been like my mum (I'm 15, my mum was ill when I was younger) and I want to make her feel special because she's been really down at the moment... Thanks xx

How about a dinner for 2 and a spa day. Then a gift card to favorite store or pub or movie house. What is fun also is buying a goofy gift like a plastic water gun. A coloring book or a barbie. Just use your imagination. Have fun. What time should I be there?
