Default Need help with ideas for birthday gift

My cousin's birthday is fast approaching, and I need some help with something creative that I can make for her as a gift. The woman has everything that her heart could desire, which makes gift giving very difficult. I know she would appreciate something that I make - but I am fresh out of ideas!

One thing I did notice when I was there last is that her office area (she works from home) is a little bland...

Any ideas ladies?

She is turning 38 and is Mom to one DD who is almost 2 - if that helps!

What about decorating a box and filling it with personalized stationary, envelopes and notecards. Maybe you could decorate a small paint can and she could use it for pens & pencils. You could decorate a picture frame for a picture of her daughter. I would do a combination of the above and make it all match with the same colors and stamps. HTH.

There are some cute set ideas in the gallery- somewhere I saw a white write on board/post it/bulletin board set-that was really cute. Let me see if i can locate it ;)

Stationary sets....make a birthday/anniversary perpetual calendar...a stationary holder filled....

I was going to suggest the perpetual birthday/anniversary calendar. . .also someone here made cute coasters with stamped images (instead of putting a photo inside). . .decorated post-it pads and beaded pens. . or how about a stamped candle?
