last year I got her a music box. she seemed to like it. this year I was thinking about some Nutcracker tickets for her and her family to go to during the Christmas season. What are some sweet gifts you've given to a female friend or received (if you are a woman)?

She's a bigger prude then I am. I'd at least like to get her special before I go off and never see her again.

Jewelry (wrong signal) and candles (gay) are out of the question.

I think Nutcracker tickets are nice. It says I want you to have fun and I respect your family. A gift card for a special indulgence (like Starbucks or a restaurant) is always nice too.

Pick something very ordinary that she would use everyday and buy her the expensive one. Most of tend not to splurge on our everyday items.

For example I would not pay $40 for an umbrella but I would appreciate it if someone gave me a nice one. What does she use everyday that could use an upgrade. .

Food is always good. How about one of those gourmet baskets from Harry and David. Cant remember the name but theres a company that sells some kind of special steaks. Or you could make your own basket.

I had a sweet neighbor up at the lake, he was 15 years older than I was. A few years ago when he was sort of teaching me to fish he hand made a set of fishing flies for me. There were so pretty I couldn't bear to use them. But the fact that he made them meant a lot to me.
I always think a good book is a nice gift. Especailly a subject they know you enjoy.
