- If they belong to the same airline frequent-flyer program, tell them a gift of miles toward a airline ticket to Birmingham would be helpful.

- A promise of paying for your conference registration when that opens in 2012.
- A new suitcase or carry-on bag for the trip to Birmingham.
- A new cosmetic or toiletries bag for the trip.
- Planning on driving to the conference? A gift card or two for restaurants that are on your route. Usually this means a chain restaurant that is also in the area where your gift-giver lives.
- A gift card for a major gas chain so you can fill the gas tank for your trip to Birmingham.
- A gift card for a shoe store so you can purchase a comfy pair to pack for the trip.

Dropping hints in December
There's lots of gift giving this time of year and it's often preceded by the question "what do you want for . ." and that is followed by Christmas, Kwanzaa, or maybe Chanukah. I have several things you could put on that list. Now you will be ready when your aunt, niece, spouse, partner, son or other relative asks what you want.

Or how about a gift certificate to one of Birmingham's restaurants? There is a fabulous culinary scene down there! If anyone wants a specific recommendation, feel free to contact me!
There are several places in eat in Birmingham that have excellent chefs. Frank and Pardis Stitt operate the Highlands Bar & Grill just to name one of the very good restaurants. There is also Bottega's on Highland Avenue that is a fun place and has fine dining as well. This is just two places.
