Disposable gift ideas

Fuzzy_Duck

My friend's birthday is coming up and I've already bought her some gifts. She is moving house shortly after though so we have agreed I will give her presents to her afterwards to make things easier.

Having said that I still feel bad that she won't receive anything on the day I'll post her birthday card to her but I wanted to send her a little something too. It needs to be disposable so she doesn't have any more stuff to move than necessary. All I can think of are flowers or chocolates.

I wouldn't buy flowers, as they will be another thing to deal with when moving, or else wasted because the rest of a house in a state with packing up etc. Do you live nearby? If so, then the offer of some help with decluttering her wardrobe / kitchen and taking to the charity shop might be nice.

A gift card for somewhere like Pizza Hut?
Then they can get a take away when they're moving in?

No- sadly she's on the other end of the country and I don't drive, so I can't help her at all with the move.

I did wonder about that with flowers. It's be a nice gesture but I expect a pain for her to have to display when she's in the middle of packing.

I'll look into the gift card idea welshbookworm- had no idea you could get take away ones!

Pizza Hut ones aren't for delineries, but you can collect from the restaurant

What about just eat vouchers? they can be used in various take aways I think although its not something I've used.

Take her for day out, depending on your and her preferences.
