... whereby I am to find the perfect present. She has always liked whatever I give her. I have to admit, given the pre-existing constraints combined with her artificially imposed ones, I'm at a loss.
~Small and travel-able. Not more than a few pounds, certainly not breakable, certainly nothing bulky. Needs to fit into a suitcase or small carry on.
~Something inexpensive (under $50, €30) but NOT cheap (of a higher quality)
~Nothing "knick-knacky"
~No clothes or shoes or accessories
~No jewelry
~'Nothing one would get for their mom' my guess is this means no books, CDs, etc.
So my going thought is/was to get something interesting or historical at one of the venders lining the Seine. But I run the risk as basically everything there (replicas, trinkets, books, maps, shirts) are either overtly "knick-knacky" or "clothing."
So far with a few weeks left before I return home, I'm thinking this "perfect gift" is going to leave me perfectly screwed.
Any thoughts are more than welcomed!
