33. A sharp pair of sunglasses — the perfect ~angle~ for gift giving at a birthday you totally forgot about.

35. An eye mask to help them get their beauty rest after their big day.
36. A botanical tapestry that they'll plant on their wall the minute they get it (and you can plant under your bed until the big day).
37. A monochromatic pillow sure to satisfy anyone's style (and probably look good with your own bedding until you actually have to give it away).
38. And finally, a woven wall hanging so you don't have to be ~hung up~ on remembering to get a gift on time ever again.
Don't let this happen on their birthday... again.
