Present Ideas

[Gherkins]

Hello everyone, I need some help with some ideas.

One of my daughters is going to be 30 in December. I've always felt it was a shame that her birthday was in December because I feel that Christmas takes away the significance.

As 30 is such a significant birthday, I would like to buy her 30 items. I would like to spend from £1 to £50 on each item. These items could be vouchers, food, experiences... All ideas are welcome but I do not want anything to be seasonal or relating to Christmas.

So what are your ideas?

Might help to know a little more, is she girly or more the outdoors type and sporty? Into food and drink? Crafts or art?

[ummmm]

That's a big difference in budget as well. From £1 to £50 each.

My daughter does not really have many hobbies but she is quite a feminine young lady. I would appreciate a wide range of gift suggestions, they do not have to be specific to a certain hobby or attribute.

Perfume, make up, make up remover, nail varnish and remover, make up bag, handbag, underwear, candles, body lotion and shower gel to match the perfume. This should cover some of the large and smaller amounts of money.

I wouldn't spend lots of time choosing anything. I would just give her some money and let her loose on a spending spree .

You will know best but are you sure she wouldn't want one special present that costs that much (or little). Your range means you'd be willing to spend £30 to £1500. Maybe something she would keep for ever such as diamond earrings or bracelet?

My son is 50 in December and he aint getting 50 bottles of Jack Daniels!

Charm bracelet with 30 items for her life. Pram cot plane charm of a place she has visited, apple if NY for example

[Gherkins]

I would not like to give her money, I think that is quite insincere and I know it is popular to give money in these modern times but I personally would rather not give cash.

I would like to buy some presents that are as expensive as £50 and some presents that are as little as £1 or £2 so I need a nice range of ideas to choose from.

Thank you to those who have offered suggestions so far and thank you in advanced to those who will provide present ideas.
