Coasters? Cloth napkins? Christmas ornaments? Mug rug? Wall hanging? What are HER interests? What does she use?
I don't use placemats every day because something ALWAYS get spilled and I'd rather wipe a table than wash 4 mats.
So someone who knows me wouldn't burden me w/ placemats. But coasters are always welcome. Practical. Easy to store, Easy to wash.
