Gift Idea for BIL's GF

Ok so BIL has a GF who we all love, they live together (they're 23 and have been dating for a year and a half)....they're planning to move together next year when she goes to start her doctorate, it's pretty serious Chat Icon

We won't be seeing her over the holidays b/c she's going to Oregon to celebrate with her family and BIL is coming to LI (they live in DC). I would like to get her something small-ish, and something that BIL can easily take home on the plane for her (so nothing big, nothing liquid--no lotions, perfumes, etc).

I was thinking maybe a funky piece of jewelry--small but still fun. I don't want to spend more than $25ish, but I don't want it to seem really cheap either.

Any ideas where to look?

Are you in NYC? Every year in Bryant Park they have a "Holiday Flea Market". They have a bunch of shops targeted specifically to jewelry. I just walked through there on lunch today and they have VERY cute pieces. Some stuff is $$$$, but you can find a handful of things in your price range as well..

I always like looking on Etsy.com. I haven't purchased any jewelry, but I purchased really nice prints from one seller. There is such a variety of different price points and styles that you could probably find something she would love.

I know that was my first thought, but BIL has to take it on the plane and I'm sure he's carrying on--don't want to give him trouble by giving him liquids!

Thanks for all the other suggestions!

I always buy VS pajama sets for my BIL's girlfriends. Last year I bought the pajama sets and received free slippers with the purchase.
I only spend about $30-$40 on them every year.
