    I'm a geek so would probably like an ipod nano with songs on there that would mean something special to me.

    I'm getting carbon offsetting this year, because I've done an obscene amount of flying. I'm thrilled, there's nothing I need and the thought of trees that will still be there long after I'm not makes me very happy.

    This set is fab but your only likely to get it if she is a size 6 or 16, but there are tons of the other sizes on ebay (all bnwt) but most hitting the full retail price - if you do get it make sure you get the slipper boots too as those are gorgeous. I have just been bought this set in both shorts and longs pj's, requested obviously as he would have got me another sexy lingerie set which i have millions of still unused - i just gotta get him to get the booties and i'll be chuffed - but gonna check primark first cost £16 is a bit steep for slippers.

    As for the 'toy' only get it if you know she wont be offended, i used to be an Ann Summers rep and even though most people arent and have secret stashes some people are still a little put off by the thought, lol, i have no clue why - hehe! If u do definately go for one of the rabbits but if its a first and your not sure how she'll react go for one of those small ones that could be a stocking filler and a novelty funny gift just in case, lol!!!

    I was going to say a Links of London sweetie bracelet with one cute charm (like a pink knickers or bra or heart, or many others to choose from) but that would swallow your budget of £100 immediately. These are great as you could add to it over time which would be special - they are great as they have so many charms for different occasions.

    If she is a disney fan like me, you could get a limited edition bauble with tinkerbell or something in. These are nice keepsakes.

    Personally im not a fan of bath gift sets, but i know a lot of people who love the stuff from Lush (those stores that you can smell a mile away, just follow your nose, lol). You need to avoid if she has very sensitive skin though! But with bath stuffs make sure its something she actually uses and likes, maybe a luxury something she likes but cant always affrod on a regular basis, otherwise the gift can be quite impersonal (sp?) and will prob just get stashed at the back of the wardrobe and never used.

    I absolutely love the idea of the blown up print of a photo of you two, just makes sure its one she likes the look of herself in, otherwise no matter how beautiful she may look to everyone else she may still cringe at it as us ladies can sometimes pick ourselves to peices. Poor hubbie - only i chose the photos that go up in my house, but he does know the ones i love so it can be a massive hit.

    As for undies or perfume you really have to know what she likes, and right size for those undies.

    Anyway this is just what i think but i hope it helps....if you know her well enough im sure you will know what will make her smile.

    Good luck. x

    A luella "missy" handbag - comes in at just over £100 from the McArthur Glen designer outlet. That's what i'm hinting at!

    Back to OP - the pampering day suggestions are great - something like that will always be appreciated!

    Ive asked for clothes as I dont have the money to buy myself anything nice, and Im a bit of a designer clothes nut.

    He said he was willing to buy me about £200 worth of present so I told him to buy me £200 worth of clothes. That will probably only mean 4 items (I like bench, hooch, soul cal etc. Anything from republic actually....) but Ill be estatic!!!

    I think Paris is a little over rated, I have been there twice and quite honestly I would prefer a cottage in the Lake District with a real fire.

    I would quite like a luxury spa day/weekend if my husband was to ask me, not likely though, I think hes bought me a Magimix, if he has, I'll throw it at him, along with the Dyson he bought me last year!
