Chocolate, Cheese and Wine. Mmmmmm.

Hi Gift Idea Mom,

Ok so here’s the deal. I need a good gift for my sil’s birthday. She’s turning 37, SAH, has 2 little boys and lives in Colorado. She recently moved from Los Angeles and stopped teaching to stay and has had a rough time with the adjustment. She’s lots of fun, likes board games, silly theme parties with her girlfriends, mahjong, blackjack and vodka tonics. She is also pretty healthy but loves good chocolate and cooks dinner for her family every night. My budget is $50-$75. Please let me know what you think. Great site by the way, I just started checking it out.

Hi Juli,

When someone sends me such a detailed profile of the person they are buying for, I always feel like I want to choose gifts that fit that person to a T. Your SIL sounds like she’s a fun person with a lot on her plate. Have you thought about giving her something like the Cuisinart Electric Fondue Maker?

Cuisinart Electric Fondue Set

My fondue pot gets a lot of use and I think it fits your SIL’s lifestyle. Its a great option for fun family meals, and its perfect for entertaining on a girls night (cheese fondue, good wine, good friends and finish up with chocolate fondue, of course). Speaking of a party with friends, how about this SWILL Wine Tasting Party Kit? Combined with a nice set of Riedel Wine Glasses, it could provide a fun evening with her friends. Good luck and let me know what you decide!

Cheers.
