Thanks for MD ideas - was on conf call ...again....

Posted by Capstern May 10 '12, 11:45

I know she wants a Kindle fire but I am afraid to price them. I know you all were all talking about them th eother day and she has her own amazon acount already.

I thought maybe a spa gift card or massage gift card from all of us plus a small one to a accessory store the girls said she liked would be good too

God I used to be so good at this (gift giving) but its easy when you dont have any boundaries

        dude, you shouldn't have to give a 19 year old money to buy her mother a gift. honestly she's too old for an allowance. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 11:58 3
        
        17 (jr) and her allowance I am told stops at 18 - we will see. She did finally apply for a job - shes the slacker the 15 yo is the over achiever -- nm - Capstern May 10, 11:59 2
        
        oh. still, too old for you to fund a gift. Don't stick your nose where it doesn't belontg. -- nm - loosilu May 10, 12:00 1
