Need gift ideas for the MOH who is uber-trendy and already has it all.

I LOVE my MOH, but I am at a loss of what to get her as a gift. I have known the girl for 22 years and I really want to get her something meaningful and special. I want to spend $150-$200 and I am unable to find anything I like to get her in this price range. I got all my BM Coach bags, but my MOH wouldnt be caught dead in Coach. She is very picky and chic and everything I like for her is like $600.00 (Louis Vuitton, Gucci, etc.).

She is Carrie Bradshaw all the way. Lives in NYC, makes $100,000 a year, LOVES FASHION. She is getting married a month after me and I am her MOH, so I really want to make her gift special and cool. Please help me brainstorm.

TIA
tracy*

My MOH is very similar (although she LOVES the expensive stuff and doesn't make $100,000 a year!) so I got her a Tiffany bracelet. Some of the silver jewelry there is very reasonably priced. Who doesn't like Tiffany?

Not a bad idea- Ddoes tiffany have all of the items online or should i go down to the store? Can you buy tiffany any where besides tiffany (like a dept store)?

I think a really nice GC to a trendy Spa in NYC would be perfect.

Tiffany has more items online than in the stores.
But you can purchase on line, too.
You can only get Tiffanys jewelry through Tiffanys

Are you in Manhattan or LI? If Manhattan, I would recommend going to the store. They have virtually everything there. Otherwise, you can find most everything else online. Good luck!!!

Y'all were reading my mind, I tell ya.

DH bought me a Tiffany ring for my birthday and I was back on the site today, adding bracelets to my wish list. Found these two that are both $175. and engravable:

Have a look at this website Gifty Box

They have different gift boxes with choices like NY classes, Chocolate addiction, Dinner for 2, Winery tours, and when you buy the box the person you give it to gets to choose from a selection of choices inside. It's kind of cool and tailored to New Yorkers.
