Have added them to my list!

What's a party ring? and can you please, please part with the rest of your list, I want to know more:j

No problems, just need my brain to work, it was all very silly things though!
Party rings are indeed those little round biscuits that have icing on. Everyone loves them! They are normally about 79p per packet but are worth it for the retro cool!

29 and 30 were flowers and chocolates delivered to her (after she had opened the rest)
Packet of party rings
Tena lady
Reading glasses
Facial hair removal strips
Green and black's chocolate
Silver bangle
Tiffany's necklace (she is my sister after all)
Compass (she asked for it)
Pen knife
Snowballs
Bouncy balls (childrens)
1001 things to do with vinegar book
Cocktail book
Hip flask
Teacakes (again party types biscuits)
Silver earings (£5 for a tiny beautiful set)
My brain isn't working right now, but as I remember them I will post. The Works are doing big boxes for about £5 that you can probably fit all this in- I put hers in a Roald Dahl one that she is using again.

how about sweeties from when she was a child...black jacks, red liquorice shoelaces etc.
Any kind of seeds with a tiny terracotta pot with a little note, " may these seeds grow as our friendship has grown over the years"
A newspaper from the day she was born
One of the teen mags she would read (easy to get from ebay/car boots etc.
A CD with the song which was no. 1 the day she was born
Emergency overnight kit..toothbrush, knickers,tights, paracetamol (condom if she's a fun kind of person)

I've done this for my sister's 16th and recent 18th birthdays. I wrapped all the pressies and wrapped a large cardbord box in the same paper then decorated it in scanned in photos of us both at different times in her life from 3 years old to 2 weeks before her birthday. I put the main pressie (this year she requested a Fred Perry jacket) in the bottom and filled the box with shreader bits of paper, adding a layer of pressies then a layer of shreadings so it was like a giant lucky dip.
