Need Big 40 Gift Ideas for a Mom Friend

She is not my best friend but she is definitely more than an acquaintance. My best friend and I don't exchange presents so I'm at a lost with ideas. She'll be getting a surprise party (thrown by her family). Another friend said a card is enough. I do have one about turning 40 and wearing the s**t out of a tiara. I guess I could get her a tiara.

What can I do next?

It doesn't have to be something for her to have as a keepsake forever. A spa gift card is an amazing gift for pretty much any mom. Find a place that does it all - massages, facials, mani/pedis so she can choose the treatment that she likes best. You can make it even more special by arranging a spa day for her, you and a few friends.

Get a package is dumm dumm suckers. Poke them into a Styrofoam cone so they look Like a floral arrangement. Attach a note that says either "turning 40 sucks" or "turning 40 is sweet" it's a fun thing but not a bank breaker.

If your budget is big enough, have her wear the tiara to a SPA DAY! Or just a mani/pedi.

Please don't take the advice of 40 suckers, etc. that is so cheap.

$40 in a card or a $40 gift card. Be mature.

A bouquet of flowers with the card & a small silver pendant.

Small ring holder. Those cute little silver dogs or cats where the tail
holds the rings.

A certificate for a mani/pedi OR a massage.

A silver band ring (silver is the cheaper metal).
