/fa/ help me choose a birthday present for my sister who is turning 30. I'm looking to spend ~$50

Some info on her:
-wears classy expensive clothing
-married no kids
-works out, slim body

pic related, my current idea but a bit out of my price range

You can always bring her some nice flowers. People always appreciate carefully-picked flower arrangements.

Just take her out to dinner. It's a nice gesture, you actually get to spend time with her, and rather than agonizing over what she might actually like, you let her order whatever she wants and everybody gets to enjoy themselves.

In general, I think people actually enjoy experiences/activities far more than physical objects. There's an actual memory that you're forming, both the giver and recipient get to acknowledge the act of giving, and nobody is stuck with an object that they didn't ask for in the first place.

As I get older, I find that I actually am very picky about giving gifts and won't just buy a random thing just to fulfill some silly "requirement" to give someone a gift. I'd rather apologize for not finding something, take you to a great meal, and get to search at my own leisure for the perfect something that I know you need and will use and will love for a long time.

That's true. For instance, sometimes I offer a tarot lecture instead of a typical gift if people desire it, and at the end people tend to appreciate more experiences and gestures more than physical objects (unless said object is just awesome, like an airplane or whatever).

A physical object would be better for now since the party is at a bar and I would prefer not to show up without a gift.

Easy gifts:

-Jewelry (earrings, open rings, bracelets)
-Perfume
-Gift certificates (even better if you know her salon, spa, whatever that she frequents)
-Expensive bottle of liquor to share with the party (alternatively, you could just pick up her entire tab for the night or something)
-Accessories (scarves, bags, wallets, etc.)

Honestly, I think it's weird that you would force yourself to buy her a gift if you can't find a gift you genuinely think she'd like that you can get in a timely manner and/or afford.

Thanks I may just het her a gift certificate at a salon she frequents. I feel like takin her to dinner would make it seem like I put no thought into it.
