Hello, looking for a little advice. I get something for my friends every year as they are always great to me and this year whilst I have two sorted (I've made them jewellery sets) I'm having trouble with the third. She doesn't wear jewellery so I'm trying to put together a little "pyjama day" set. I've bought her some lovely cosy PJ's and some fluffy socks and a mug and some chocolates but I don't know what else to put in (she doesn't drink or I'd pop in some wine). I want to make it special as she's been a really good friend to me this year. Any suggestions?

What about a book or dvd. I won't make any suggestions as we all like different things but you probably know her taste.0

Was just about to suggest a book too!!
Maybe get a jar of hot chocolate stuff and mini marshmallows. Water bottle and funky cover.Wealth is what you're left with when all your money runs out0 -

What about a hot water bottle with a cute cover? Or one of those soft animal teddy microwaveable hot things? Would fit in well with the cozy day pyjama theme.

You might be able to find them cheaper elsewhere, I got a really cute penguin one for less than a fiver last year!:happylove0 -
the microwave ones are available in the works, I got a real cute one there at the weekend for £3.99 its a lovely wool type fabric in shape of a love heart. Agree with dvd / book / hot choc / candles / maybe popcorn? Depending on your budget thorntons have some new chocs out I thought were lovely its like in the shape of a book and says on the front "especially for you" or "thinking of you" or "I saw this and thought of you" and of course for partners thay have a "i love you" on the front. Starts at £3.99 and Im determined to find a reason to buy one but my OH has a nut allergy so we have to be careful with chocs.Life is what you make it.0

Thanks for the suggestions, I hadn't even thought of a hottie or teddy! Will have to try and find one without lavender (my friend has an allergy) or maybe a hot water bottle.Grocery budget in 2023 £2279.18/£2700Grocery budget in 2022 £2304.76/£2400Grocery budget in 2021 £2107.86/£2200Grocery budget in 2020 £2193.02/£2160Saving for Christmas 2023 #15 £ 90/ £3650

Would she enjoy a face mask? Maybe a magazine to flick through?0

A nice scented candle to help with relaxing?0

Chocolate? Nice box of chocolates I'd say0
