Help!

I'm trying to think of a last minute 21st birthday present for a sporty (not that girly) girl.

I've put it off because my default option of smellies from Boots or booze won't work and now realise that the party's tomorrow.

Help:o

    A rough idea of how much you want to spend will help us.

    If you don't get any good suggestions, there's always an Amazon voucher. That would be my dream present, and I don't think anyone would be disappointed with one. I know it's not that personal, but so much more useful than a '21' teddy bear!

    Sorry - the spend to about £20-30

    I've known her since she was 3 when I used to babysit for her - so semi-ish family.

    I can't do anything in the booze or jewellery line as her family are v posh and ££££, so I can't even go there.

    id go with a bottle of champagne from the supermarket or a very nice bottle of vodka. grey goose is very very nice as is stoli.

    it doesnt matter what you get as its the thought that counts, even if you got her 21 lottery tickets or scratchcards she would be happy with it im sure.
