Ok, I am in need for ideas for my sister. SHES AWFUL TO BUY FOR.
She is 37 and lives in her own home (next door to my parents!) with her flat male flatmate.
She never updates her house or has anything to do with her garden. She finds them boring.
She's a tom boy and is very fussy on clothes.
She has very sensitive skin, and can only use simple.
She doesn't wear make up.
She has a car, but ive already exhausted car gifts in previous years.
I am really at a loss!!
She always gets me amazing presents, and this year I have only got her some booze, chocolate and bed socks!
I really would love to get her an amazing gift, but I really don't have any ideas!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quadcopter. Decent camera. She in to gaming? Music? Decent head phones, or one of those levitating bluetooth orb speakers.0

There must be something she likes?
I'm not a girly girl in the slightest but I love tech, gadgets, puzzles, games, books and pretty much anything geeky.
Even tomboys wear clothes - my mum has bought me some gorgeous Dr Martins boots.0 -
Some kind of "experience"?.
Hot air ballooning?
Racing car driving?
There are loads of things to choose fromBeing polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

Whats your budget after you have already bought the bedsocks and booze etc?frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!
2017 toiletries challenge 179 out 145 in ...£18.64 spend0 -
Budget is around £30 ish.
Shes not in games, she doesn't even have a computer or internet.
She isn't into tech, she always has my end of contract phones!
I have thought of ipod etc, but as she doesn't have a computer, she cant add songs or update them. Plus, she doesn't do anything that would warrant her listening to music.
She always wears trainers and doesn't like Dr Martins.
Her boyfriend actually bought her a flying helicopter thing, which she is enjoying playing with.
She gets me experience days, so I would feel like im copying?! She wouldn't enjoy an afternoon tea or hot air balloon etc so not sure It would be suitable. Plus she'd have to arrange it, which she would moan about!:wave:0 -
She doesn't read books, or do puzzles!!!!!!!:wave:0

Would a short course or workshop be useful?Anything like cooking, drawing, writing or even bushcraft!

Failing that,a hamper of dvds and sweets she might like?
Or adopt an animal?

She doesn`t sound the materialistic type, and thats always hard! I hope you find something for her soon x0 -
You're left with food and drink then looking at your. Does she have a particular drink; I love Gin yet can get myself any bog standard bottle but really appreciate special top end brands.
Food, either make a food hamper, take her for a meal or buy the ingredients and make her a meal.Life is like a bath, the longer you are in it the more wrinkly you become.0 -
A Simple giftset or a range of their products with a flannel and the bedsocks as a hamper.0

She must have a hobby?!0
