Birthday present ideas

time2deal

Hi,

I need ideas for a birthday present, and thought there might be some good ideas here!

Bare facts are 36 years old. No kids, loves her home but sort of has everything... Budget - about £100.

Would love some ideas from anyone who gave or received something they really liked. Thanks!

I am late thirties, child free by choice and would love to receive vintage jewellery. You could get something high quality, great condition that very few other people own in the world for that budget.

I do like the idea of a bracelet. Any suggestions on where to go in London?

How about tickets to a show? Or vouchers for a favourite restaurant?

You won't get much for £100 in London because you are paying through the nose for overheads, try eBay (UK and US), Etsy or Ruby Lane for vintage jewellery.

Something like that would be my idea of a treat. If she has everything she needs (or can afford to buy it for herself), an experience with friends is far more enjoyable. So a pamper day at a spa or theatre followed by a meal or a gallery/museum visit then a meal. Or maybe a day trip out of town? I'd certainly go for time spent with friends over 'stuff' any time.

Im another one that would much rather have a night/day away somewhere, then something to gather dust or sit in a jewellery box once I hit 40 it became all about the the bucket list, and you can get some really great adventure day's ive flown a plane took a Lamborghini Gallardo for a spin also had some fantastic fun doing treasure trails https://www.treasuretrails.co.uk/ we have a B&B booked on Dartmoor this weekend and will do one then, it's just something a little different then the norm

For a person who 'has everything' my preferred gifts usually tend to be experiences rather than things...for £100 you could get tickets to a show or a spa day for two and enjoy it together.

If she's the adventurous type then you could get a 'taster' day at a gliding centre, an indoor skydiving experience, white water rafting...the list goes on and on.

Is she a foodie/like to cook? if so then a voucher for a specialist cooking school might be good (ie a Thai cookery class if that's something she likes to eat)

I don't often want/need things so really prefer this type of gift...I'd way rather have the experience and the memories of a great time with my friend (especially as due to distance and busy schedules I don't get to see some of my friends that often) than something that sits on a shelf gathering dust.
