ringsandcoffeeA good friend of mine is turning 30 next month (a month before I do, ack!) and I am trying to think of a gift for her. I'm probably making this harder than it really is, but we've been friends since 8th grade, I was in her wedding, and she basically was the spark that lit the fire that moved me from CA to AZ. So, I want to get something a little special.
A little about her: she is married and has a 1 year-old daughter (whom she adores), likes to scrapbook, is a shopaholic, teaches 5th grade, gives so much of herself to others, loves stuff from the M&Ms store in Las Vegas, owns a house, is creative, has 3 cats, and...
Basically, I want to get her something that is for her, not necessarily something her daughter needs or something to clutter up the house. It's her birthday, so I want the gift to be about her, even though if I asked, she'd probably ask for something to do with her family. Whether or not you take the above information into consideration, what gift ideas do you have? Any ideas will help, since I can't seem to think of anything.

What about some sort of special edition of a book that she really loves? Tickets to some sort of special show (like a play that comes through town or something like that).
What hobbies does she have? Can you be sneaky and ask her husband?
Oh! I know! A Chia Pet!
kidding! kidding!!!
You know, a friend of mine got me a special edition of Labyrinth on DVD for my 31st this year, and I love it. :D
