    What kinda budget are you looking at? That might give us a starting point :)
    I like the idea of a heart locket with an inscription to be honest... Very sentimental...
    How about a spa day? A day at a themepark - make sure you take lots of photos and give her to remember.
    Or make her a scrapbook... :)

  • Well was gonna get some tiffany earrings but they are mucho expensive. Obviously shes worth it but the budget is through the roof at the moment. So Up to £50 should be ok i think, the locket thing sounds good. I have got the little bridesmaids sorted...Thank God for build a bear!!!
    Ideas desperately needed...
    thanks

    What about naming a star after her? I think it costs about £50 and it certainly would be something that she could keep forever !

  • Personally I think some sort of jewelry is most appropriate, and she can keep it forever!!

    I think the spa day is a good idea, or you could fill a hamper with all her favourite beauty treatment and perfume etc

  • Hiya
    I got my eldest bridesmaids jewllery...... the age difference was significant so i got different styles to suite. I went to a local jeweller & asked them what they had that was suitable in my price range. I found them a lot more helpful than the bigger stores & they seemed to have more to offer.

    I personally would go for jewellery but my friend bought me a lovely jewellery box when I was bridesmaid for her, I still have it & use it and that was over 10 years ago now :)

    Alternatively, sticking to the jewellery route, why not get someone to design something especially for her- I used to offer this service when I did wedding jewellery- bride gave me a budget and idea of colours and I made something to suit...

    They are nice Millie. To OP if you do an advanced search on that Tiffany site you can select gifts from £50 and under, there are quite a few ranging from silver (obviously!) studs, keyrings, bookmarks, some nice pens, perfume and even an earthenware piggy bank! Might be worth another look.

  • Thanks for the suggestions.. i love the star idea and more pertinent because stars is a bit of a wedding theme..
