One of my good friends is moving to France. She is having a leaving party so I would like to get her a gift. BUT I am completely hopeless with present buying! I would like to get her something she can bring along with her so it would need to be small in size. I literally don't even know where to start! Budget would be around £20-£30. Any thoughts or recommendations would be MUCH appreciated. Thank you.

How about a nice montage of pictures of you two together in a nice frame or something, that is the sort of thing I would give and like to receive if it was me.Raven. :grinheart:grinheart:grinheart0 -
thanks that's a really great idea, and I suppose it would be a good housewarming pressie for her new home!

I was thinking the same thing myself or even a very modern locket type of thing holding
just a pic of you both.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.

I had a similar thought - but a mug with a custom image on it. Depends on what you think she would like.But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,Had the whole of their cash in his care.

Does she have a Pandora bracelet or something simillar?
When our friends emigrated to Kuwait we gave the £50 worth of currency but I brought the girl a suitcase charm for her Pandora bracelet and that was about £30First Date 08/11/2008, Moved In Together 01/06/2009, Engaged 01/01/10, Wedding Day 27/04/2013, Baby Moshie due 29/06/2019 :T0 -

Miserable old git me would say nothing as an actual present.
Way more lovely is to stay in touch, whether it's postcards, Skype whatever floats your boat.
Things are just that things...
Take the £20-30 and spend it on phone calls, no better way to show her you love her and want to stay in touch.0
