    Nip down to boots!
    They have some perfume gift sets like the ghost range for around £20.The perfumes alone normally start around £27.
    Also they have 3 for 2 across their gift range.Lovely make up sets,pampering items etc.Plus spend £15 on no7 range you can get a gift bag worth £33
    Reckon you could stretch your money a long way in boots at the moment.

    Wow £100 i love the idea of the hamper full of goodies stuff from lush, chocies and champagne, and in my case the kids away for the weekend and my hubbie with a nothing but a big red bow !!
    Would love to be a "Yummy Mummy" but more a "Slummy Mummy"!!:rotfl: :rotfl:
  • You might find something in the gadget shop.

    I love Lush. Thorntons chocs wouldn't go amiss usually. Pretty underwear. Promise tokens. A dvd of a film you saw on an early date? Books, CDs.
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.

    https://www.lastminute.com have great ideas for gifts: experiences, theatre tickets, restaurants, allsort of things and great if you've got £100 to spend. Let us know what you decide to get her!!!
  • Great Ideas esp, Rigby and Peller, the One really good prezzie also is v good, and I agree on Lush no, no, no as my wife gets sinus pain and Lush's stuff really seems to aggravate it

    We've done loads of the romantic stays and tend to do that for weekends in between Birthdays and Christmas, I've bought her loads of smellies and make-up and stuff before and she has loads left.

    She did say that more lingerie would be great and I've sent a request to Rigby and Peller on what they do on the custom fit front (ho-ho).

    She has also got into cheery knickers since last christmas (bright and more shorty type), has bought some from M&S and also from some Spanish shops when we were on holiday.

    Any ideas on good quality not stupid prices on that front would be great and I'm thinking on the jeweller where I bought her engagement ring (what a pallaver) and we bought our bands as they have a good range and quality too hmmmmmmm.

    Cheers again for all you thoughts and ideas and anyone else please chip in!

  • Hi

    You may want to try http://www.madaboutjewellery.com/ if you are looking for unusual pieces of costume jewellery they have a massive range and are reasonably priced, might be worth a look if you are thinking of getting her jewellery but not sure what to get..also they sometimes do discount codes so might be worth asking on the discount codes board to see if they have any at the moment.

    Edit: Have just noticed they have 15% off everything at the mo, you enter the code 007 at the checkout.

    Good luck

  • ooh okay i'm on a roll!! What about a charm bracelet, and you could buy her a couple of charms to start with and each year add to it?! I might hint to my OH about this one!!!!

  • cheers SC

    Well certainly spoiled for choice! No quite her bag seems to be getting use to diamonds and sapphires but thanks for your idea!

    what's her birthstone? You could buy an item of jewellery that has her birthstone (ear-rings, pendant) and continue the theme for subsequent years .
