A little bit of sisterly love

Ordinarily, I would say an 'experience' type present is the kind I would try to get for her, like the skiing lessons I bought her last year, but with her travel schedule being what it is, that's a bit more difficult to coordinate.
Luckily, she appreciates the funky and kooky things in life. And who's better at finding weird things on the interwebs (in an appropriate way) than me? No one, that's who! These are all legit gift ideas that I have already bought in anticipation of her birthday celebration or plan on getting her so no snitching!
What’s your favourite way to say I Love You Sis?
If I had a sister, it would be so much fun to buy gifts for :) I'd like to buy them 'experience' gifts as well. When I was younger, like way younger with limited monies, my best friend and I would buy each other 1 year magazine subscriptions. Now they have all these kinds of monthly boxes and things for any type of person. Even doggie treat ones!
ReplyDeleteI have a brother and he's more boring to buy gifts for... he's more of a serious, watch collecting, investment minded gifter and giftee (?). For my birthday, he gave me bags and bags of sterling silver. LOL
coins, that is! :P
ReplyDeleteI'm very surprised you gave your sis "Experience" for a gift, i never thought about that and I really think that's a really awesome gift!
ReplyDeleteIt's my birthday next week, I guess the best thing for celebrating birthday is being with the people you care the most and that's what I'll be doing hehe :]
p.s. Those floating monsters in the image are so cute!
My sister is 13 years older than me, and has long been more capable of getting what she wants for herself than I would be at guessing from afar. So I've stuck to giving her kids gifts instead. But my favorite thing to say I love you Sis is just time spent together - a shopping date, an evening hanging out, a phone call. Not so exciting, but that's the way we connect best. :)
ReplyDeleteI give one of my sisters "experience" gifts all the time when I babysit for free. :) Maybe that counts? If it does, I will never have to buy either of them presents again. The last gift I can think of is a tiny photo album of my sister's kitty she had to put to sleep late last year. She took me to the chocolate buffet once, that was one of my favorite gifts ever.
ReplyDeleteI'm all about the sickygrams right now...I don't have them yet...but it's something that I won't buy for myself...so a GREAT birthday present!!
ReplyDeleteSister? Presents??? I don't understand. Hmmmm, wait...I do have a vague memory of something...buying gifts. Yes! I used to buy gifts for my sisters!!! I've abandoned the practice. They wore me down, they won...no more gift giving. I wish I was kidding, but my family is strange...and I'm the black sheep.
ReplyDeleteThose sticky grams are pretty cool:)
ReplyDeleteAnd I have two sisters. I agree with you....they're easier to buy presents for than parents, mainly because they tell me what to get them:P
I unfortunately don't have a sister (though I always wished I did!) so I may not be the best help. I've always really loved giving Momiji dolls though, and they have a really cute sister one: https://lovemomiji.com/shop/USWEB/dolls/all-dolls/MJ326/sister
ReplyDeleteMy sister in law is much older than I am, so I'm limited when it comes to "quirky" gifts and I generally go the route of a giant basket from Lush or Kiehl's or something. Bath products are my stand-by :) The print of Parks & Rec quotes are amazing, though! "Food rakes!"
ReplyDeleteI love my sister too! We're like best friends! I love just spending time with her. For her bday, I ask her hubs what's on her wishlist :).
ReplyDeletethese are all good picks! my sister is 18 years younger than me (that makes her 18 ;)) so she is (too) easy to shop for! she's definitely still in the quantity over quality stage so i just get her tons of little things, especially of the kooky and quirky variety because it's fun and she loves that sort of thing. and always a clothing item : )
ReplyDeleteLuckily, my sister is the easiest person in the world to buy presents for. She likes pretty much everything but she is a real sucker for stationery. Me, on the other hand, am probably the hardest person to buy gifts for but in 26 years, my sister is the only one who has never got it wrong!
ReplyDeleteThat monster set! Little fellows with teeth--a must have for my sister-in-law (and perhaps one for me, too).
ReplyDeleteAnd the print! :)
Thank you so for the ideas. Brilliant, as always . . .
These are all such great gift ideas! I'd love to get some fun Tattly tattoos myself :-)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe March has gone by so fast...his birthday is this month too! Oh and I'm so excited about the rodeo...Luke Bryan today and George Strait tomorrow!! Hope you have a great weekend :)

It was my sisters birthday on the 8th of March (mine's on the 30th) and I have yet to buy her a gift (been too busy being sick). I often buy for my sisters things they need/want that they won't buy (in a hurry) for themselves... like new earphones or a new iPad cover.
ReplyDeleteawwww, my sis' bday is next month. she's 18 then. *tears*
ReplyDeleteI don´t have any siblings (unfortunately) so that´s a "problem" I don´t have - but I can feel the similar thing when buying gifts for friends. It´s not that easy to tell the truth!
ReplyDeleteTotally makes me wish I had a fun sister like you!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an equally generous and AWESOME gift roundup! She's a lucky girl. I have a sister who's a little kooky and a lot wonderful, so I totally understand how tough it can be to narrow down the gift-giving!
ReplyDeleteI think brothers (and fathers) is harder! There's that gender gap which I always have trouble with and an age gap. I'd love to get a subscription box as a gift though... so maybe she would too.
