I am taking my daughter to Iceland for three nights for her 18th birthday, I want to think of a way I can present it to her, rather than just her printed flight and hotel voucher.
Any ideas anyone, please?

Somehow - I haven't thought about the mechanics of this - put them into a sealed bag and then freeze in the middle of a block of ice?:heartpuls Mrs Marleyboy :heartpuls

with snuggly warm socks or hat or some other necessary bit of kit?
inside a huge wrapped suitcase?

Always use photocopies of tickets rather than anything that can't be replaced!
Put them in the pocket of a new coat (as suggested above)
Put them in a balloon (fold and feed in through the neck before inflating (also add glitter with a funnel
)
Put them in a bible and wrap it up
Put them in a ring pull baked beans can (use a tin opener to take off the bottom carefully and clean it out - obviously)
Give her an airport survival pack (Magazine, water bottle, snacks, neck pillow, mints) - when she asks why, be excited or nonchalant as you prefer :cool:That sounds like a classic case of premature extrapolation.

not being funny but why Iceland, ?
dosent she like the sun?“Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”

She has always been fascinated by Iceland, she wrote about it in a fantasy story in primary school, by coincidence!
We just watched Trapped on BBc4 over the last few weeks and she kept saying how much she would like to go.
One of my friends has just been as well, so it seemed like an ideal 18th birthday present, let's hope she thinks so too:cool:The mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work unless it’s open.:o

No she is fairly unique, not like any other teenager I know!
That's why I am hoping I have made the right choice,,,,,,,The mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work unless it’s open.:o
