While we spent the better part of Saturday mourning the loss of Brynn's 20s, we kicked off the evening by drinking some vino and opening presents. Before I get into the details of the evening (that will be a separate post), I figured I would give you some details on the fun gift idea I did to celebrate her 30th.
I struggled with figuring out what the "right" gift was since it is kind of a big-deal birthday, and I am a big believer in celebrating birthdays (I mean, what other day of the year is it all about you??). I found an awesome gift idea from this blog and tried to tweak it to make it perfect for my sister.
I included a card with my gift that read something to the effect of "Now that you're 30...and a mom, you may be wondering where all the years went! Here is a little emergency kit for when you need to feel young!"
Along with the card was a gift basket filled with individual gifts to make sis feel like a kid (sort of).

I got a black wicker basket she can re-use along with wrapping and gift tags at Hobby Lobby.
Play at Bath time! In this box I included a bunch of Bath Bombs from Lush, and a loofah & rubber duckie from Bath & Body Works.
Play Dress Up! I got her a beautiful necklace from Banana Republic (that I really wanted for myself!).
Have a Slumber Party! This box had a super cute PJ set from Vicky's Secret :-)
Give Yourself a Makeover! I included a bottle of OPI nail polish, a new lip gloss from Bobbi Brown, and a new cream eye shadow stick also from Bobbi Brown.
When all else fails, have a glass of wine! Duh - I included a bottle of Conundrum, one of sissy's faves.
I have to admit, it was sort of fun trying to think of things to include and in the end I think it turned out perfect. Plus, it would be a great gift for a range of budgets since you can scale up or scale back however you like. Plus, who doesn't want to feel young every now and then!
