    Liddard......:)

    Go to Woolies...they are doing Dracula on DVD for £3. Others there if this doesn't suit.
    Candles....you will be able to pick up for a pound somewhere...try Woolies again or the pound shop.
    Her favourite sweets...Minstrels or something!!
    Her favourite juice.....couple of cans :)
    Tissue paper, glittery purple bag and a card saying she is special.....gothic style one of course ;)

    Put it all together , get a sticky label, nice writing and you have a 'Special night In' Gift :)


    Or pick up the DVD, go to boots...go to the travel section....pick up some wee things like face mask, foot scrub etc and put together for a 'Pampering Night' gift just for her :)

    Hope this helps:)

    I forgot to say its got to be kinda romantic u know.


    Just wanted 2 take this opportunity to tell ya all ive bin looking at this site for about a year now and im so glad ive finally joined the forums.
  • Why don't you bake her a cake? You could decorate it with hearts or your initials by using sweeties, and make it as romantic or as goth as you like.
    Lidl sell cake mix kits which include the icing for £1.19. They do chocolate chip with chocolate icing which is really nice, and they also do a lemon cake with white icing, and a nut one with pale brown icing ( I haven't tried that). They are really easy to make. You will need the box of mix, 3 eggs, 150ml milk and 150g butter or margarine and obviously a cake tin.
    I think a home-made gift is much nicer than a bought one when you don't have much money to spend.:kisses3:

    A nice bit of jewelery or something for her hair or nice nail polish (black?) then when she's wearing it it will remind her of you.

    download some of her favourite tunes and burn it onto a picture disc of you and her, sound soppy but the more effort/love you put into something means so much more.
    You cant take the trousers off an elephant!
  • What a lovely idea greytroot.
