on 3/19/2008 It's the little things that matter most - reminding them year-round of your love is the best gift of all. It can be a simple post-it note or an unexpected gift. There are sites like www.remindyourlove.com and www.redenvelope.com that make this pretty easy...and they carry some of the items mentioned above...good luck.

on 12/19/2007 My sister seems to have everything. I had no idea what to buy her until a friend of mine suggested a purse hook. I had no idea what it was, and after some research, I thought this was really the perfect gift. And it's not that expensive. I got her a black one at http://www.stylagio.com

on 7/30/2006 Make sister bracelets with Swarvski crystals-use colors she loves and mix some beads that have shapes of hearts. You can use elastic or wire and fasten clips on the ends.
