What is a good wedding thank you gift?

Q. My sister-in-law paid for my hair, makeup, and nails to be done for my wedding. The total cost was around $200. What would be a good thank you gift under $50? She is married, so I think it should be something that her husband could also enjoy.

A. I agree with Suz. If you really feel the need to do something though, consider treating the two of them to a nice meal with you and your husband. You could always make something at home to keep it in budget. Once you've had a chance to settle into married life of course.... :)

I want to make her birthday very special this year because of her being sad about her mind going a little but I can't think of what to get her.

Keep in mind I am a student with a limited budget so no expensive gifts (under $50) and I am already getting her favorite dessert.

A. Make a scrap book of photos you've gathered from family and friends and put brief captions underneath like" You, Jenny and Josh picnicking 1982" Maybe have family write a favorite memory of her and put that on a page with the photo of the two of them together, also.

Then spend a few hours with her on her birthday, being remembered and visited will mean more to her and a scrap book will help her with those memories.
