Need help with gift for sister (MOH)

Our wedding is on 8-29 and my sister's (MOH) 30th birthday is the 30th

. What is an extra special gift we can get her for being the MOH and her 30th? We plan to have a cake for her at 12:00 to celebrate.

She is single, lives in Manhattan and works for a large company (entertainment). She loves bway shows (but has seen them all). She goes to museums (but has been to them all). She is not much of a jewelry person (she wears a watch and changes necklaces all the time).

Please help

Thanks

What about a 'Queen for the day' gift certificate at a really great spa? This way she can look and feel her best not just for your wedding but for her 30th birthday too.

My sister was my moh and she collects Lladros. I bought her the one that says 'Big Sister.' Lladro carries a huge family selection.

or maybe a nice designer bag or wallet. (Gucci, LV, Burberry, etc.)

Re: Need help with gift for sister (MOH)

Thanks for the great ideas girls

I thought about agift certificate too (if I don't think of anything else I may do that and the spa treatment) She goes to the spa a lot (thats what people tend to get her for gifts)

A charm bracelet I would like(hee-hee) but I don't think she would. I am not ruling out jewelry though. It is something she wouldn't spend a lot on herself but its a nice gift....maybe diamond stud earrings (but the are very $$$$$$$$$$)

Don't mind my ignorance but what is Lladros?? I'll have to feel around and see if she would be interested in a designer bag.

Keep em coming

How about a GC to a really nice restaurant in city. Like: Babbo, Blue Water Grill, Nobu, Union Square Cafe, etc?? That is always a good thing..

Lladros are beautiful figurines from Spain. Don't worry, I only knew about them b/c of my sister.

good luck, I'm sure you will find the right gift for her.

If I got her a GC to a resturant who would she take (no BF)....I guess she could always take me

but then I feel like the gift isn't really for her.

I plan to spend about $400-$500. She has been so great. She is so talented and has helped me a lot (and I know her helping hasn't even yet begun)
