    Default help -what gift would you buy a celebrity??!

    The woman whose child I nanny for is a celeb who is pretty much "set" for life even if her next film does flop.. Her birthday is at the end of the month and I am absolutely clueless on what to get her. I really don't know her well enough to know what any of her hobbies are. But she's hip, trendy and I am sure -has everything she wants. The most difficult thing is, what kind of gift do you buy for the person that has everything???
    I need something fabulous that won't break the bank. Please help. I just don't want to look like a dork. She has another nanny who has lived in L.A. a lot longer than me and has been her nanny a lot longer than I have. I am sure she will get her something *perfect.* Me on the other hand..I'm from the sticks, just moved her, and know nothing about celebrities and what the frick to get them on their birthdays.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hrmm... If I were you I'd get her something REAL simple/tasteful/surefire, like a box of Godivas, and make her 'real' present something for the kid instead, she might appreciate that more given your job.

    Hard to say if we dont know what she likes....

    Does she collect anything?

    Maybe a gift certificate to someplace she can spend time with the kiddo?

    you know, id get her something meaningful, i bet being a celeb she would meet alot of fakes, write her a touching poem, or buy one of those coffee table books (like MILK or whatever it was called) and write a lil something in the front cover.

    give her something money cant buy. hopefully shes one of those people who appreciates stuff like that?

    or maybe ask what would be appropriate?

    heh just get her a 6pack and a lotto ticket kidding,,,kidding...

    A gift certificate to kitson and let her get what she wants. Plus it will make you look like you are up on where celebs shop and what not or on the other hand it could just make you look like you watch to much E wich would be now I know celbs like that place. Serisoly I think its a good idea.

    She doesn't need an expensive gift; she knows she's rich. I bet she'd appreciate a sweet gesture, though. Bake her something nice (keeping in mind any dietary restrictions she might have), and include a nice card. Or get her a nice box of chocolates or something. Food gifts are usually great for those who already buy everything they want, and you don't want to splurge on a boss (it's HER job to splurge on YOU).

    The coffee table book idea is a good one too. Just pay attention to things she might like.

    Shrug. I don't care. I'm totally affordable! And with financing available. I don't complain much, and I have all sorts of accessories you can buy.

    Like my "ActionLaptop"
    "Watch mast sit there and do tons of work as you make his day more and more miserable by increasing his workload and laugh at his inability to get home at a respectable hour"

    or "SuperChamp the George Forman"
    "Laugh with the family as Mast turns what looks like a seemingly easy cooking recipe into Heart Surgery. Run for your lives as he learns cooking isn't easy while he flails about in the kitchen wrestling the would-be-dinner to the floor and losing arguments with inanimate objects."

    or even the "Delux Ghetto Apartment Complex"
    "Take out an evening with your friends and watch as this cleanly neighborhood house turns ghetto just by adding water. Watch Mast do crazy things like Fix the Drier in apartment C while his tenants argue in front of him of who gets custody of the baby, Or replace the roof with the rolled roofing kit (sold seperatly) as neighbors point and say many key phrases like "look at whitey wit da shirt off lookin all flex" or "He said Hate Crime" and everyone's favorite "Hey Frosted Flake!" at the touch of a button.

    All this for such a low price you ask? But Wait... There's more...

    for every purchase you will receive the free StripClub playset. And watch as Mast goes from stable to broke in the confines of one of America's oldest Male Financially Draining Institutions. Laugh as Mast pays to fall in love and goes home alone to post for help on random internet sites. Set includes a free doll...'Bunique the Stripper' with electronic voice action that says sweet things like "I let u fuq muh front butt"

    I told them I wanted one, and being me they all laughed... and they where trying to guess and I remembered when I was kid, I use to be on CB radio in my house for entertainment... and I was known as frosted flake, cause of the cereal...and the truckers loved it...

    in reminiscing that story, I was given that title, among suspicious trucker sex jokes. Still used today...I think even a member hear has heard someone CALL me that whilst on the phone... And it gets funnier every time

    They're grrrrrrrEAT! That does it, the Mail Order Mast (alias DoubleF) is going on my Xmas list. Or my XXXmas list, if he includes the rotate/vibrate function.

    Kaiyla, I concur with the books and baked goods ideas. As someone else pointed out, she's rich. So the point of giving her a gift is not to spoil her with something she can't get for herself, it's to acknowledge her in a thoughtful way.

    Yeah, no gift certificate. I doubt I'd be able to make a dent in a shopping spree at Kitson, plus that's nothing new for her, so why bother?

    What if you took the kid to one of those do it yourself pottery places and made something for her mom? That way it would be heartfelt and something any mother would appreciate. Help the kid write a card out and wrap it and all that fun stuff.

    Although, Godiva is always a beautiful thing too.

    sorry i guess my idea was bad i enjoy gift certifacts and would even if i was rich thats why i said that. I think going to build a bear of a pottery shop with the kid would be a much better gift and it would make sense comming from a nanny.

    that sounds like it is nice and thoughtful, because its the thought that counts. maybe you can add on a box of godivia or a book along with them. im sure she will appreciate flowers though.

    I'd call them...Pearls.

    I want to go out on a limb and point out that my earlier post about the stripper accessory is comedy gold. But... the other ideas where much better....but still... I'm laughing at my own jokes...

    Mast is a tool.

    Cartier correspondence cards. I think they cost around 80 beans for 15. They don't have them on the website, but I'm pretty sure they do sell them in the NY store.


    edit to add: If you are willing to spend 300..I think you can get a box of fifty or so with her initials on them.

    You already know she has "everything"


    What she doesn't have the intention behind the gift which is you. Therefore, look around and buy something YOU like...and give her a part of YOU. That's the best thing she could want...unless she doesn't like you.

    A nice bottle of wine or champagne? With some godiva chocolates, maybe?

    I have an aunt who is literally a self-made millionaire and she completely knows the finer things in life. However, she realizes that the rest of our family are not millionaires, and she doesn't expect us to shower her with lavish gifts. So when she has a party, people usually bring gifts like chocolates, wine, champagne, homemade food, etc. Sure it's not very original, but pick an original champagne, and pick up some seasonal Godiva chocolates (like the pumpkin ones! Yum!) or something along those lines. You could also make it something heartfelt, if you know what nationality she is, you could pick a wine or champagne that comes from that country.
