My name is Jen, I go to school, and occasionally learn things. I love James Dean, Hanson, Sloppy Firsts and Second Helpings by Megan McCafferty, Fall Out Boy, Elton John and Billy Joel. These make me overly qualified to give advice ESPECIALLY since I spend the vast majority of my time watching and obsesing over Oprah.

I've been through some stuff, and watched even more drama on TV, so I can help with your problems, no matter what your story is Wishbone.

I am going on vacation for a week and my neighbor has offered to water my garden and vegetables while we are gone. She is an older lady, not elderly but older. She lives next door, but we have a lot of land so it will be a hassle for her to come over and get out the hose, then roll it up again...but she offered and I need the help so I accepted.

My question is, I want to do something nice for her in return but I don't know what. I was thinking maybe a gift card to a grocery store or Wal Mart, but how much $$ is appropriate? Thanks for your advice! (link)
since she offered to do it, any amount you give her would probably be appreciated. If you can't spare that much money (or even if you can) if might be nice to present the gift to her with a basket of vegetables from your garden or a bouquet of flowers, just because she helped work on them.

You could also get her a bottle of wine, gift set teas/jams whatevers, day pass to a spa, or something she's interested in if you can't settle on an amount.

Thanks, that's a good idea!
