Q&A: Any ideas for a perfect gift for my half sister for Christmas?
Question by Kris: Any ideas for a perfect gift for my half sister for Christmas?
She always manages to come up with ideas that are amazing. You know that she gave it a lot of thought and hand-picked it for you. As a result she makes you feel really special, and I want to come up with something that makes her feel like I gave it a lot of thought. The problem is that, although I have been thinking about it and keeping my eyes open for ideas for the last couple of months, I just don’t have any major brainstorms. And to make matters worse, Mom has become aware that she has come up with something extra special for me this year. So maybe someone out there has an idea?!?
For the record, she is a professional speaker/author who deals with human resources/communications types of issues. Her work is her passion, and she travels a lot for it. She’s vegetarian; in her 50′s; lives in the mountains; married. My current line of thinking is to get her something for when she is on the road for work. But what?!?
Thanks for any serious suggestions!
By the way, I must admit that I don’t know a lot of specifics about her special interests. She moved out when I was a baby and she lives across the country from me. (Which makes it all the more amazing that she can consistently come up with such targeted gifts for me!) Mainly I know about her professional life, since I do her proofreading on her books and other materials.
Let’s see… what else do I know that might be useful… She likes Indian food. (Gave her an Indian cookbook last Christmas though, and took her to an Indian restaurant in the spring when she was passing through town!) She meditiates. She’s a liberal, while I am a conservative! She used to write music, but I don’t know what she listens to these days. She does some hiking.

I like your idea.
What about a travel diary ? A passport holder ?
Go into a travel store and see what they have that you like.
If she travels think about what method of travel and find her something to relax her while
driving – a CD
flying – pillow/massager
Buy her half an awesome present.
i’ve always found really special, unique gifts at red envelope.

a vegen restaurant guide ? Not sure how thoughtful, but seems practical
If she’s on the go and travels a lot why not get her some CD’s? Make sure you know what kind(s) of music she likes before you get her one. Also ask about what CD’s she already has.
What are her other passions, besides work?
Give her something that she has always wanted, but hasn’t made the time for. If she has an interest in pursuing a hobby (dance, music, painting, gardening, carpentry…), give her something that will give her a good headstart…classes, workshops, material, instruction manuals.
Travel pillow, great pair of headphones, Luggage(nothing big, but a really nice large tote she can easily carry while traveling. Books or a gift certificate to barnes and noble
A gift basket with all her favorites, or a picture frame and the families picture in it, since you live further away. Happy Holiday and Best Wishes.
