Sister's 22nd - what to buy her?

We're not that close, but we still buy for each other on birthdays.last year I got her some perfume, and although she tried to act thankful she didn't seem too impressed so I'm going to try something different this year. She likes: animals, music, clothes, and she doesn't like jewellery and she doesn't wear much make-up. My budget is around £50. Any advice is appreciated!

Do you know what music she likes? Could you get tickets for a gig? (the cost will depend on what she likes obviously, but I've gone to gigs for less than £50 for two tickets)Common sense?...There's nothing common about sense!0

Mainly obscure bands, I think one is called Alt J but can't find any info on when they're next playing or ticket prices, might buy her an iTunes voucher..

Obscure bands might make for cheaper gig tickets...it would be worth finding out a few more band names and checking upcoming tour dates.Common sense?...There's nothing common about sense!0

If she likes Alt-J then she might like Everything Everything, who are touring soon

We go for the pragmatic in our family as well. Why spend £50 on something she doesn't really want?
If you want a bit of a surprise element - ask for 3 or 4 options.0 -

Exactly:D £50 for someone you don't really get on with.? Spa day on last minute. Com or a cinema voucher or a magazine subscription0
