Instead of giving Marci money, give her an item of clothing or shoes.
I would wait till close to xmas and get it though. Keep up with the times
and just wait. I know how hard it is to not buy. Or even when you
buy the essential oils, you could work on giving her one of those for
a holiday. Set up a pattern give her one for a holiday. Remember
there is almost one holiday a month. You could make it were she
gets one thing a month from you. This way like the dogs, that you
buy toys for. She would also get something.

And even if its a stuffed toy at some point, heehee that is her one thing
that month. I'd not tell her at this time its what your doing. But work
on just that.
