Any 'different' ideas!?

My partner is 25, we have recently had our 2nd child so I brought a spa day as her main present!! I am now looking for another gift, ideally not the usual perfume, chocs and jewellery etc and want something a little different, anyone able to offer an suggestions...

Thanks...

    I asked for a starbucks card this year as a small present - their coffee is usually only a treat for me, so it's nice to recieve a giftcard for there. You could get her one of these, a nice mug to put it in, along with some homemade vouchers offering to babysit, give her a massage, cook the dinner, do the ironing etc etc - things that will give her time to relax.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    A digital photoframe (I bought a Kodak one for £34.99 but there are some cheaper)...and put pictures on it in a time order from the start of your relationship to having your kids, christmasses etc up to recent ones.

    Tesco sell a 7 inch digital frame for £10 and they have 2gb SDcards for a fiver that u can fill with photos, that way its up and running as soon as she opens it and it can always be updated with more recent family pics all the time.

    I, too, have asked for a coffee card - C0sta in my case. Their hot choc is such a treat when I take my DD out for a "girly" afternoon....only in the next town but it makes it special and she feels reet "sophisticated" :D
