    Try Carphone Warehouse for the Motorola Razr pink or lilac, they were on special offer before christmas. Probably more like £50 though inc £10 credit.

    how about a pink mp3 player that superdrug are selling for about £17 its really good and some perfume- there are lots of nice sets on sale in boots you could get miss sixty elixer(purple pack) for £12.

    Yes boots perfumes are half prices and some even more and don't forget people reckon on the 15th they are coming down in price even more!
    How about some vouchers for New Look, Top Shop etc so she can go and buy her own tops that she will like? xxx

    Armani is a really nice perfume, as is Ghost. Otherwise I would recommend a pink Cushtie Smoosh Me - really nice comfy cushions, feel lovely and only cost a tenner! You can get them in good gift shops. :)

    Got her perfume last year and wanted something a bit more special. I would have got her an MP3 player but my older sister got her that which came through the post today. It was PINK aswell.

    If its a phone I'll like it to be pink or I dont mind what colour it is because she isnt all too girly - barbie type if you know what I mean.

    What can I get her? Something nice and she can use or have for a while around £30-£40.....bracelet? Can I get gold for that much? All the females in my family wear gold so me getting her somehting silver would be a bit weird. (Asian thing with gold)

    Might actually go to a jewellery shop tomorow, wont buy gold off the internet and there arent any indian gold. Anything other than gold from places like Argos, H.Samuals etc etc as they are light gold and indian gold is more rich in colour which she would prefer.

    Thanks,
