Does she like to travel at all? if so utility have a lovely travel set with a journal to fill in holidays past and future, space for photos and a scratch card for each continent so you can check off where you've been! failing that I'd go with utility anyway, lots of fun and quirky things to buy!

I cant seem to find a web site and have not heard of this before, sounds interesting.

Great idea as her and her chap got a new house together a few months ago. I am rubbish at gardening, what would you suggest please? I suppose up to about £50 is the budget.

I had my eye on the travel alarm clock till I saw the price. :eek: Costs more than my last holiday.
It does have some good stuff on though - have to keep reminding myself I'm on an economy drive.

Thanks will take a look, I went to her last home where she had spent over £100,000 renovating, having an orangry built etc and her eye for interior design was like something out of a magazine, so I am a bit worried that my choice wouldnt fit it.

I feel it has to be novel or bizarre as she really has no need for anything but is a real fun person so going this route would suit her style. The tree idea I dont think anyone couldnt like plus god knows how many acres her new house has, so I know she will have room for it. Shes the type that will have 10 bottles of champagne in the fridge at any given time, so I cant go that route either.

Not sure about trees, but there's wedding type roses - some a bit tackier than others!

You don't have to get it from this site, I just put it up to give you some ideas, but something like champagne moment looks quite nice, and it's scented which is always good.
And an outdoors wine/champagne glass holder to go with it?

I planted a flowering cherry when my granddaughter was born.
