    I looked online but I don't know anything about purses! :undecided

    Why doesn't she want blokey stuff? :rolleyes: :p

    Well, what colour does she want, does she want a seperate part for notes and a part for coins and a part for cards? Does she want a place you can put a photo in (of her handsome son of course :D ) Or does she just want a plain purse that you can put everything in one bit? How much do you want to spend? Does she want a zip part or just a fold up part?

    Radley purses are nice - a nice present and sometimes they come in a box - about £20- £30 and you can buy at the stores already mentioned or new on Ebay - they have a nice blue (or another colour) Scottie Dog on them.


    And get you - sub £13k - well done :T :T :T
  • Woo hoo on being sub-13k SS :)
