Difficult present for sis in law

Hi there
I am stuggling with sil's pressie and am now going into mental block!

She is into surfy type clothing and going to the gym but is also a mum (and enjoys going out drinking!)
Can anyone help pls???
Thanks in advance Jammy x

    Does she like cooking? Could do a cookery themed basket such as:
    Cupcakes - mixing bowl, spoon, spatula, cake cases, cake decoration, cupcake recipes (can find them online and print out or buy a book)...
    Italian - pizza cutter, pizza dough mix, oline oil, herbs, nice pasta, colander...
    Chinese - wok, soy sauce, spices, oil, rice, noodles, prawn crackers...
    Chocolate lover - all things chocolate!

    Night in basket - pyjamas (can get nice ones from Primark, Matalan etc for not much £), fluffy socks, bubble bath or bath bomb, candle, book or DVD, popcorn or sweets...

    Sorry, brain gone dead, if I think of more I'll pop back!

    There's a 20% off discount code for Fat Face kicking about if that helps. They've also reduced a lot of accessory / clothing items already. Plenty of bargains to be had.
