Garden Bucket

Go grab a metal bucket and fill it with garden gloves, flowers, seed packets, Epson salts, candy, etc. A great place to shop for this is BI-Mart. Please tell us that Bimart is one of your shopping places. This place is a sleeper hit. Bi-Mart merchandise includes electronics, small appliances, housewares, hardware and power tools, sporting goods, automotive, apparel, canned and packaged food, personal care products, and gardening supplies. It has been a part of the Pacific Northwest since 1955. They are located in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Bimarts are membership only, BUT a lifetime membership is a steal for $5. Go check it out and be a part of PNW history. 

Spa Day at Home

Put together a spa day package with bath bombs, scented candles, and maybe a plush robe. You can even treat her to a relaxing massage at home. This thoughtful gift allows her to unwind and indulge in some self-care. If you want local supplies, check out Mad Sass Soap Co.

Customized Jewelry

A handmade bracelet or necklace makes for a thoughtful and personalized gift, showing you care. These unique pieces often carry special meanings or reflect the recipient’s personality and style, making them far more than just accessories. When considering where to find such treasures, go to Dava Bead. They are located on Sandy and have been there for over 30 years. They offer a wide variety of beads, materials, and tools for crafting.

Local Event Tickets

How about an experience as a gift? Check for any local events happening, such as concerts, theater shows, or art exhibits. Tickets to a fun outing can create lasting memories and offer a delightful experience. A McMenamins gift card could be a great choice! With a gift card, the recipient can choose exactly what they want at McMenamins: concert tickets, a hotel stay, a hoodie, or a pitcher of beer.

Flowers 

A classic option, fresh flowers are always a hit. Pair them with her favorite chocolates or a homemade treat for a sweet surprise. Sammy’s Flowers is a perfect choice with stunning bouquets.

Handwritten Letter

No matter the gift, a heartfelt handwritten letter expressing your love and appreciation can make all the difference. A handwritten letter allows you to express your feelings in a way that is sincere and intimate. Regardless of your age, sharing your thoughts in this manner can create a lasting connection. Reflect on your favorite memories together, those moments that make you smile or laugh, or times when her support truly made a difference in your life.
