LOL!!  Looks like my work here is done . . .  

I haven't been on fragrance.com lately so I don't know what their prices are. You might check them...they usually are less expensive than the stores and carry a great selection.  Is there a bath oil in that fragrance?  My late mother loved Lauder perfumes but thought them too strong, so she would purchase a bottle of their bath oil and mix it with an unscented hand lotion to tame the fragrance. Might work for a nail tech...

If Pony out of the question then I suggest a nice gift certicate for dinner at a resturant she mentioned .. or a gift set to pamper herself         

 If she likes to bake cakes, why not put together a combination of basics? A small bottle of vanilla, some baking chocolate, baking powder (the kind without aluminum) and so on. Arrange it in a cake pan or a basket, maybe with a cheerful kitchen towel to nestle it in.

 Maybe a gift certificate to a bookshop, either bricks-and-mortar or online, with a note that this is for a special cookbook she might like (or anything else, for that matter). Another option might be a magazine subscription like Gourmet or Bon Appetit, or a Martha Stewart one on food/baking.

I get a kick out of looking at old, old cookbooks. There are lots listed on Amazon.com - for example, if you could locate an old copy of Fannie Farmer's Cookbook, it makes for great, nostalgic reading.

Hi ... I think a gift certificate to a book store would be a wonderful gift, along with a little treat or a heart-felt card - she would be able to purchase any book her heart desired. As for the Pony ... no ponies as gifts this year. 

You are ultra generous.  I don't get my hair dresser a thing.  I don't tip either and I still get great service.  She works in a little town and they don't seem to follow the big city rules. 

 Anyway, if you live in a cold climate, how about a ice breaker with a brush attachment and a pit attached.  This would be very much appreciated on cold mornings. 

Ok her is one some one might got it already how about a coupon card to a favorite store becareful on that one or one of those coupon card to the food store they go to,,, Esta l.did I see right I thought is more then 25.00 wow your going for gold here or she does a bang up jobb for youI did that years ago when i had nails and hair done I only get the hair done my teeth make get nail biters know which I have to quit along with kicking the diet coke habbit I tip my hair dresser 5 dallers very time she cuts my hair ...
