    I've been Money Tipped!
    Can you take her out and see what she lingers over? while I'd be grateful for any gift, and you sound like a lovely aunt, I'd like to choose my own, especially if its a rare treat. Its when you can afford what you want you can have less ''emotionally invested'' in gifts.

    If you buy treats in advance I'd include some thing like a nice body cream/bath oil, or even a moisturiser suitable for skin type. Things that throw a bit of luxury into life and improve appearance and are probably just as rarely indulged in, and slightly les reliant on personal preference over appearance. If make up, she'd need to be there for foundation, and eyeshadows etc can be very personal choice. A mascara is a pretty safe make up gift though I think!

    I'm sure though anything, especially with such loving thoughts behind it, will be received with love and gratitude :)

    if you wrap each item individually she will be amazed you have gone to so much trouble, and you will have lots of fun picking out lotsof little bits for her and watching her face as she opens each one...

    Do let us know what you got and how much she liked it :)

    Thank you.

    If I took her out she would just pick something for 50p....

    Think I will go with you HotChick and choose alot of bits and wrap them up individually (in a way that takes her AGES to unwrap!) and pray that she likes them.

    If she was into MMU - I would ask Nicola at EB to let her have a field day (within reason) and send me the bill! But I don't think she has got into MMU - I don't see her enough.. sadly. We all have busy lives - maybe I will win the Euro tomorrow - how great would that be! I would have so much fun giving it away!! Not all of it, keep a bit for myself, I don't need alot tho!
