    Alternatively, Gift Vouchers Or check her DVD collection before purchasing DVD's :)
    Good note & shall be done, but this doesn't account for her folks buying her things out of the blue.

    Wouldn't it be easier to just give her the money in future?
    Isn't that a bit boring and unimaginative? It's something you'd get off an aunt/uncle/grandparent, not a partner.

    They may not return it a second time unless its part of the conditions of sale that they offer.
    They actually did in the end as i had the receipt. Got the money on a gift card instead

    I'd rather have not got the gift card but it was the only option in the end. She is happy enough with it as there's plenty she can buy. She's already mentioned a fair few things that'd come to more than the cards value.
    come on folks, gift vouchers are no more thoughtful than cash and are, in effect, like saying here's £x but you can only spend it here.
    Agreed, but it was the only option in the end
