    I got my 'bird' quite a few things including some nice Armani earrings that cost £46 delivered and a dress for £45, the dress couldn't be worn by every body though

  • Im sure you will have lots of photographs and lasting memories. Buy a nice album and stick in photographs adding little captions above them... at the back of the album put a snap of the two of yous.

    What a good idea, me and my oh have had a few probs this year so i think i will make him one of these to remind him (and me) of all the great stuff we have done together.

    Make it personal, make her a mix tape (which is so corny that it's now ironic and therefore fashionable again ;)) - give her vouchers for things like "a weekend camping in the summer", "a night in with a girlie DVD with no complaints", "a free massage ;)" etc

    If she likes girly and pink then get some bath stuff, I think it's usually cheaper to buy separately and then make it up yourself - you can get some cheap flannels, sponges etc. If you're artistic you can even carve soaps etc or choose smells that you know she likes.

    Write her a letter saying all the things that you love about her because that may mean more than any present.

  • For the photo album idea, try photobox.co.uk, they do fabulous books printed with your photo's and captions for around twenty quid.
    Smellies always go down a treat with me, especially when they're the expensive ones that I wouldn't fork out for myself, but secretly want....
    Good luck..... I know my husband despairs around christmas and birthdays as I am so difficult to buy for!

    PERFUME
    Keep it simple - get her perfume if you can afford it (ebay for it if you are on a tight budget) have a look at the bottle she has and you will know which one to get but she will be delighted with ANY perfume.
    Girls always love perfume - ALL GIRLS - ALL AGES!
    I'd say also make her a home made token for a full body massage which will last at least an hour ... and will be provided by you.
    Whatever you get, wrap it with nice ribbon and she will think it is the most extravagant pressie ever!
