Gifts for someone who's had a bad year

   - A bottle of wine and a good book (preferably something light and funny - Let's Pretend This Never Happened is a great read, I laughed out loud through the whole thing!)

  
  

  - A gift certificate for a massage or a mani/pedi or something else to just help her relax. I know I rarely spend money on myself for stuff like that but it can be a great stress reliever.

  
  

  - Is there something she really enjoys doing? Maybe a pass to a museum or zoo or the symphony or something like that.

  I second Let's Pretend This Never Happened.  I have never laughed so hard at a book in my life.

  
  

  For my mom/sisters this year, I got them an "evening to themselves" in a box: a bottle of wine, a nice face mask or something similar, and a book I thought they'd like but that they probably wouldn't just pick up and read on their own.

  
  

  I second @bethsmiles - anything that might help her relax.

  Oh I love @futuremrshistorian 's idea of a evening in box! That is so cute! I might have to steal that as a present for BF's sister and mom!

  These are all great ideas. I don't think I can swing the bottle of wine; my sister lives in California and I'll be shipping her gifts directly to her. But I like the book idea for sure, and I'll look into some sort of spa stuff for her to have a relaxing night!

  If you cannot do wine - how about some gourmet hot chocolate mix with a nice big cappuccino mug.  You could even do a comfy set of pajamas.

  I agree with @Dignity100 about the mug and hot chocolate if you can't swing the wine. I bought my coworkers THIS mug and filled it with seasonal teas, Starbucks Via packets, and hot chocolates. It's super cute. I think I'll end up doing it for my BMs too. The mug with drink mixes plus a book and face mask would be heavenly.

  I love extremely cheesy things so if you're looking to give her luck during the new year, this bracelet would be cute!

  If a bracelet isn't enough, you could always get her a small bottle of wine or something to go with it.
