45 Great Gift Ideas For Your Hard-to-Shop-For Sister
Ah, the elusive sister. The woman in your life perhaps most difficult to find a good gift for. Your mom will like anything you get her, because you got it for her. Your daughter, girlfriend, or wife will surely let you know what she’s got her eye on, without you having to ask. But, your sister? She's a different story. She's your number one BFF (at times). She protected you when you needed it, but she also ratted you out for stealing the family car in the middle of the night. You love her, you hate her. So, what do you get her?
Well, gift-giving is easy when you break it down to a science. All you have to ask yourself is: What does she actually like? Is she a serious foodie who would love anything for her kitchen, or is she a coffee-lover who just wants a new espresso machine? Maybe she's extra picky, and eyeing the latest Gucci shoes, and we respect that and think she deserves them for all the secrets she (hopefully) kept for you all these years. We found 45 gifts that fall in all the above categories and beyond.
