    How about a "Girly Day", pop into one of the large dept stores and book a free facial - some shops have a private room so you're not on view in the shop.They usually give a few free samples too.Have afternoon tea somewhere special and open a bank a/c (while shes with you) with the £50 so she can get her own solo card.
    Hope you have a good holiday.

    I'd say this is a really good idea
    Like what I said? click thanks!:rotfl: :rotfl:

    Nice idea, like the idea of a girly day, I think she would love that!

    She has a bank account & solo card already, makes her feel really grown up, what I might do though instead of giving her money is put abit extra in it for her.

    I noticed that her posters in her bedroom needed updating and so I looked in Asda today for magazines with them in, is Smash hits mag still around? Thought I might pop a copy in as an extra.

    Maybe she would like the money? Or even better a shopping trip with you with the money.

    We had one of these last week as we are going to Majorca on Saturday and she needed new summer clothes and bits and bobs! Typical really as I could have got them for her birthday if it was before the hol!

    We are buying her new mobile tomorrow, she can't wait but she is going to have to wait till her birthday for it! She is having a sleep over on her birthday and her family and friends are all coming for dinner :)

    Smash Hits is still around and Kerrang is always good if she is into rock/metal :)

    How about a Make-up lesson or Makeover?

    BTW, the make-up lesson is for over 16s only, but the makeover is good for anyone (must be accompanied by parent or guardian).

    You could always pay for her and her mates to go to a Pizza place on their own and be picked up after. Some places do Vouchers or you can pay in advance.
    My Mind wanders, if found please return.
