I'll explain -
We are about to go visit my in-laws abroad, and stay with some of them, for a few days. The daughters of the house are 22, 20, and 17, and my OH wants to take something nice out to them as a thank-you to their parents for hosting us.
None of the girls are married or in relationships, they live in a village setting in Turkey. I'm in my 40s, my girls are just turned teenagers, so really I need some suggestions - my only idea up to now is a nice something-or-other from Accessorise? ie phone bud speakers, a nice purse or something like that. You know, individual, fashionable, and something they wouldn't get themselves.
It needs to be available on the high street, as we only have tomorrow to shop (I consider myself lucky my OH has given me a whole 24 hours for us all - including him - to think about ideas :cool:).
So ladies and gentlemen - what ideas can we come up with?

I am 22 and I would like to get a nice scarf (accessorize and new look do some nice on trend ones), a new purse (again accessorize), phone case (if you know what type of phones they have), make up bag, mirror, ect.
Just general pretty things that don't evoke strong personal opinions (like jewellery - some love costume, others can't stand it, ect)0 -
