Significant Birthdays

Hello

I have 2 colleagues who have significant birthdays on Monday.
A female is 30 and a male is 50.
Any suggestions as to what I can get them for birthday presents – do not want to break the bank £20-30 on the female, less on the male.

Help please

    I've been Money Tipped!
    What about a voucher for a makeover or massage etc.

    Put together a basket of goodies, makeup, smellies etc.

    Champagne and glasses.

    M+S have a 25% discount on all wines when you purchase 6 bottles.This includes champagne. There is also a further £5 discount on their Oudinot (champagne) range. Include this weeks £4 discount voucher for spending over £25 and it brings the price of a bottle from £18.99 to under £10. More importantly its great fizz. Why not include a voucher for the male for a turkish shave (£12 approx and a great relaxing experience for someone that close to your throat with a cut throat razor!!!).That leaves you up to £20 quid to spend on the lady.Chocs or something you know she likes.Check out Mr and Mrs Smith hotel discounts avail in Waterstones for under £20. Only 4 hotels in Ireland but includes two free cocktails in the Merchant Hotel.:D

    One obvious question you ask. What to do with the remaining 4 bottles of fizz:rolleyes:
    Happy hunting

    This would be better suited to the celebrations board, so I'll move it across for you :)
