Present-wise, there are so many options available to you, i wouldnt know where to start... Cath Kidston is a good 'un Cake-wise, i would go for some vintage style cup cakes! Any bakery could do them if u took a picture (or make them yourself?!)

Something like this for the cupcakes (but more simple lol... easy enough to make the cupcakes, use butter icing and pipe... you can buy lovely sugarpaste flowers in cake decorating shops for not very much)

Hi,
Present wie, you could probably find some nice vintage jewellery from carboots, charity shops or flea markets? Some of the high street stores have got onto the vintage bandwagon so you might be able to find something in the sales.
How about passing on a family heirloom such as a brooch, necklace or ring?

Also take a look at this site for ideas, http://www.howtodovintage.com/category/vintage-jewellery/

For a cake you could photoshop a picture of your daughter and make it vintage looking by changing it to black and white / sepia and have it put on to a blank cake - I think asda do a kit for this(?)

Hope you manage to find something!
