My cousins 44th birthday is this weekend. She has impeccable style and is an excellent gifter. I literally have no idea what to get her. Most of her clothes are designer and I just got laid off so my budget is about $150. She always gets me the best gifts so I want to match her energy this year but I have no idea how to do so within this range. Please help!!!

Experiences over things!! And stay within your budget!! If she is as close and kind as you describe, she will NOT want you to spend a lot of money on her while you are unemployed

Take her out to a nice restaurant and maybe invite her to a spa for example?

Make it sentimental. Maybe get her something with personalization - like a blanket with a print of her name or something etc .

What is she into? I also have a friend who is somewhat similar, a gift that I got her a year or two ago was a set of forever roses from The Million Roses. I got a monochrome white roses in white box for one friend, and a monochrome navy blue roses in navy blue box for another, both are still looking great a couple years later.

What has she gotten you in the past?

This because if you just got laid off (& I’m so sorry that happened to you), you shouldn’t be trying to spend money on gifts until you land a job someplace else…

3 Things to keep in mind which changing jobs:
1. Always ask dedicated budget for the job before you tell your expectations.

2. Always have atleast 2 weeks of gap before you join any company. You might not understand significance of that but just have a gap.

3. Always talk to people of team you will be joining before you accept offer or atleast before you join company.
