My DD is turning 21
My very best friend is turning 50

Need two good gift ideas, not expensive but memorable.

I'm stuck. I did get DD a cute wine glass that marks her 21st.

Best friend doesn't live nearby, and I can't make it to her surprise party (it's over Thanksgiving weekend and no way I could make it) She isn't the type who would expect an expensive thing, or name brand. I have always teased her saying her middle name is 'coupon' as since she has always had a coupon for anything since she the day we met.

I keep trying to THINK of something a bit different...

For 50th birthdays I gave a number of friends a copy of Life magazine from the week they were born. Every time I was near an antique mall I would flip through the magazine stacks and found most of the ones I was looking for.

One of my BFFs also got a special edition 50th anniversary reprint of To Kill A Mockingbird. The book was originally published on her birthday.

ETA you can check out the best seller book lists and/or buy her the Best Picture winner from 1967.

Do you have pictures of the two of you for years? You could put a collection of pictures (50?) into an inexpensive photo holder (Michael's) and mail it to her. When I retired on my 50th birthday, the ladies got a slide show together and I loved seeing all the pictures from the beginning of my teaching days.
