Ideas for friends 35th birthday present

Options
Hi everyone,

I need some help, my friends birthday is on Sunday and she is going to be 35.

Myself and one of her other friends have decided to do her a hamper, but we are stuck with what to put in it. We have a bottle of her favourite wine to put in it and a cupcake candle but thats it so far,

She likes dolphins, cupcakes and alcohol can anyone give me any ideas what we can put in it, we have a budget of approx £40

Thanks in advance

    How about some birthday bits - balloons/confetti?
    Some nice bath or shower bits?
    A dvd or a book (could be cupcake themed)?
    Her favourite sweets/savoury treats?
    Some nice napkins to go with her cupcakes?

    It sounds like a lovely idea - I hope she likes it!
  • Does she like to bake cupcakes or just to eat them? If she likes baking them, then you can get a nice cupcake book and lots of cupcake cases, sprinkles, cutters etc to put in her hamper. Or maybe a course to go on? Sometimes groupon has these. :)

    Do you have a Lush near you? They do a lovely range of bath stuff, plus they do a face mask called Cupcake :) The link is here. I think the idea of a pamper hamper is a great one, particularly putting in relaxing things like a foot soak, some nail varnish in her favourite colour, a DVD she likes and some chocolate.

  • Why not theme it a little bit....You could make it a boozy-cake hamper :-)

    Buy cake decorations, hundreds of thousands, edible glitter, choc chips etc, cake mixes and betty crocker icing. A cupcake recipe book. You can buy baileys chocolates, cupcake cases. Loads of fun stuff for that online cheap too.
