Something potentially long-lasting, somewhat practical, and meaningful. To mark an occasion. Any ideas?

Gift certificate in Sharper Image or the likes. There's ALWAYS stuff I would like to get there.

I'd rather not give a gift card. I think they're tacky and a good way of saying "I couldn't think of anything to get for you."
Nice ideas so far, thanks all. Any others? QUOTE (Arizona @ Dec 24 2007, 11:10 PM) Jewelry works well. That's a bit over my budget, I think... -------------------- דעלך סני לחברך לא תעביד

Depending on what type of stuff she likes and if you know what she does/doesn't like, I'd check out brookstone.com or sharperimage.com or hammacherschlemmer.com. They all have cool unusual stuff that are USEFUL.

I think someone's already mentioned this website on h.com before.
I wish I could remember who it was so I could give proper credit. www.uncommongoods.com -------------------- "But it's a dry heat."

I think that www.redenvelope.com has a great selection of gifts in a variety of price ranges, including some beautiful jewelry in your price range.
