Present For Grandsons Fiancee.

[cupotee]

Hi, Any one have ideas to buy for a 27 year old lady. I am totally stuck on what to give her for christmas.

As a last resort I can get a voucher, but its not really a present to open on Christmas morning.

Thanks

Can you find out if she likes music and buy her a Cd?

[cupotee]

I know she downloads music from iTunes so a CD wouldn't get used. I was thinking something a bigger/better.

I'm reluctant to choose anything to wear for her and not sure her size anyway. She is dieting ready for their wedding next summer. All our family have been boys so I am not into choosing girly things.

i'm sure you could not go wrong with perfumes and fragrances

[echokilo]

Depends what your budget is I guess ........... what about perfume? This would cover several price points but would start about £30 odd........... and perhaps your Grandson can tell you what she uses? Does she have a hobby? Anything you can get for that?

[LoftyLottie]

A Pretty modern scarf probably would be very acceptable and her size won't matter. There are a lot of really lovely and fashionable scarves to choose from. You could enclose a voucher with it and then she gets something to open and something she can spend.

I would hesitate to buy someone perfume unless you know exactly what she likes. I have quite a few bottles of unused perfume and perfumes smell different on different people. Perfume is very personal. Just my opinion.

Well there's not really time to order safely online now, so if she is stylish see if you're near to either a Cath Kidston stockest

or a Radley stockest

and buy an accessory to the appropriate level of your budget.

Otherwise some fun jewellery. Nothing serious from grandma, maybe something like this from M&S?

how about an itunes voucher and a scarf/skin care set/small piece of jewellery? i have bought my son s gf some perfume, a scarf and mittens set and made a necklace for her. cost me £2o......do you ebay? it's a fantastic place to get bargains....but it's getting close to xmas now so online purchases need to be quick x

body lotion, scented candle, scarf, pretty diary or date planner with pretty pen.

I would suggest a lovely scarf or pashmina. Perfume is a great gift but ONLY if you know EXACTLY what she likes otherwise it's a total waste of money and it will only then be used as air freshener. !! As you say, a voucher is not really a proper present for a 27 year old.

[boxtops]

Buy a nice scarf from M&S - M&S is safe for this sort of present, if she doesn't like it they'll let her exchange it for something else, no questions asked.

[ummmm]

I would opt for a scarf or a hat. I love scarf's and hats :-)

[LoftyLottie]

mmmmm - Will now be using my unused gift of Chanel No. 5 for an air freshener - never thought of that!!

Thank you janbee!!

[erin-x]

I would go for a scarf as well. I like Accessorize best for scarfs. You're guaranteed to get something from there :)

How about a garter for her wedding outfit?

[cupotee]

I have made up my mind thanks to you lovely people.

I will buy her a warm soft long scarf she can wind round her neck and as puzzled54 suggests a garter to wear at her wedding as a jokey present. She will love that idea.

My Grandson is easy,he will be getting an electric drill. Ours seems to be on permanent loan so once he has his own he won't need to borrow ours:-)))))
