My closest friend just moved into a new home, I'd like to get her something for it. I don't want to spend more than $50...
Any ideas?

Is ya wantin' more the lines of WAHM? Or does it matter? Either way, gonna throw some ideas to ya....

Hmm,, A nice decorative wreath to hang either on the walls or door... A birdfeeder, windchime, something to decorate the yard with... Maybe a nice new tree to plant & watch grow as she lives there, or a plant that will bloom every year. Maybe stuff to make a pretty flower garden....A nice hand painted sign by me ;) Or a new mailbox made by me;)

I agree on the candles. I'm pretty sure I know who you are talking about & I'm pretty sure you know her inside & out, so I'm pretty sure you'd know if they have any scent allergies, kwim? I'm pretty sure.... sorry, had to throw in just one more :joker:

New hand towels, some WAHM soaps, and a little something for the wall (if you know that they would use it and/or fits with their tastes) in a basket (do they collect Longenberger baskets?)
