“Sisters function as safety nets in a chaotic world simply by being
there for each other.―Carol Saline” They’re our best
friends, partner in crime and sometimes our own personal critic. Having a
sister just feels awesome. Wouldn’t it be nice to get them something fun for
their special day or birthday perhaps? If you’re stuck on a rut, here are some
ideas to get you started: a spa day, stuffed animals, jewelry, you name it!
·
A PAMPER SESSION – A day trip at the
spa for some massage or facials would be great. Add in a little mani-pedi
session and it’s bound to be a day of relaxation and pampering for her and for
you. You can also opt for a salon day or where budget permits, go on a
staycation!
·
A PHOTO (BOOK) – Gone are the days
when photos were secluded to the bedroom or hidden in the darkest corners of
the room. With many specialty, art and craft stores, photos are made to
resemble art in creative forms. Why not make use of this? Photos capture
memories. Find a great photo of her or the two of you. If you can’t pick one,
you can get a photo book instead. The more the merrier!
·
CUSTOMIZED JEWELRY – Personalized
jewelry such as necklaces, bracelets, pendants and brooches never grows old.
Sure they have been used before but their charm still encapsulates the
recipients. Wouldn’t you love to get a piece that has been made specifically
for you? We bet your sister does. It doesn’t even have to be expensive. You can
opt for more affordable accessories.
·
MATCHING ANYTHING – How about
something matchy-matchy? You can opt for silk robes, cute kitchen aprons and
bags to name a few. Depending on her personality and hobbies, the choices are
endless. Plus, you’re not only getting something for her. You’re buying for you
too. Score!
·
FUNCTIONAL – Functional items such
as bespoke metal bookmarks, personal journals or planners, pens and jewelry
boxes are a neat option too. You can customize them to match a theme or add in
their names and initials. Not only will they be unique but they too are bound
to be useful.
·
STUFFED ANIMALS – Last but not the
least, these cuddly wonders never grow old. Tell your sister that these stuffed
toys will serve as your representative in times where she needs a hug and you
can’t physically be there (yet). It’s cute too.
