When your daughter (or granddaughter) has her own home and just about everything in it, it’s hard to find a just-right gift.

Young people’s lifestyle choices are different from ours, to say the least. They have children later than we did, earning and spending all for themselves in ways we never considered.

Still, we want to give them something. They have good hearts, and we love them. Here are a few ideas:

Jewelry Plain and Simple
Simple jewelry will be appreciated and worn. A gold or silver chain, or earrings from a local crafts person offer a surprising array of choices in all price ranges.

Lotions and Potions
When choosing a lotion, bath oil or scent, get some for yourself and try it out. If you enjoy it, you can bet that your sweet girl will too. Besides, then you can tell her, “I tried this and just loved it so I got some for you.” This delivers the message that you have been thinking about her.

A Good Book
Journals for ideas, thoughts and dreams come in all kinds of sizes and styles. Tell her you want her to write all about your favorite person (herself)

Yummy Things
Wonderful chocolate, fruit or wine delivered to her door, you can buy it all online, too.

And don’t forget to say, “I love you THIS much!”
