I have to bring a 20 dollar white elephant gift and (4) 1 dollar trinket gifts next week. The recipient is a 70 year old lady who smells like moth balls and is an alcoholic. Any suggestions?

I did think about those little "single serving" liquor bottles they give you on a plane. 1 dollar perfume might be a little rancid. I would have to beg for the mothball aroma to return.

Who will get the $1 gifts? If women will get those gifts then go to Dollar Tree and pick out 4 different oranments and/or trinkets. They have some cute stuff and it all cost $1.Originally posted by SWMustang

Isn't it strange that after a bombing everyone blames the Crazy Azz bomber(s), but after a shooting the problem is the gun?

As funny as it would be to show up with some of those suggestions, I think I better stick to the dollar store and lottery tickets. I'm disappointed no one suggested depends undergarments, as that was my first choice - in a "no way in hell ever gonna happen" sorta way.
