Hi everyone
Hope you can help me. My best friend is turning 27 in Feb and I am planning a special day for her but have run out of ideas that are cheap/free. She has been there for me through thick and thin and want to do something special as a thank you.
So far I have planned to bring croissants and pastries to her for breakfast with fresh coffee and OJ - Will get these from supermarket, cheaper then going out to a cafe.
I then got an offer off Groupon for massages 2 massages for £20
I'm going to make her some brownies as she loves them. I am also giving her a bottle of rose wine and a big box of Thornton chocs I got at Christmas. I also got her an owl necklace off amazon for 56p with free p&p.
Looking to do something cheap and cheerful for the evening. Does anyone have any ideas?

Orange 2 for 1 cinema tickets?
What kind of music does she like? are there any live music venues where you live? folk clubs, disco evenings amateur dramatics etc?
Take away evening meal with bottle of wine. All you can eat Indian buffet? Or cook her favourite meal at home.
Free tickets for broadcast radio/ TV programmes? (Don't know if you live in a city or in the wilds!!)
Look in the local paper for what's onBeing polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!
