:eek: have just realised it is my neices 17th this Friday and i have not bought a present yet :eek:
she is having driving lessons off my mom and dad and i wondered if there is anything i can do to compliment this(other than a car!!)

How about a Pink Car Hamper? Shampoo, smellies, sponge, cloth, window washer etc?
Oh, and throw some 'P' plates in there for a little incentive

you can get all that pink stuff in asda if thats any help

you could look on amazon for a driving theory test book that really helped me or even the cd

or if you drive you could offer her some extra driving lessons for free ermmm

Im selling my old car if they want a car for her its blocking my front we have 5 vehicles!!!

If you drive and are confident with a learner, you could give her some vouchers for x mins practice time with you. I found the practice with my Mam useful when I was learning.

how about an IOU? When she finally gets to take her theory/practice, you could offer to pay for it for her? x

How about a number plate made up with her name?

I got my car mad brother a number plate that said Ferrari one birthday, as I was out of inspiration & couldnt afford any other models that he didnt already have. He thought it was great! I bet even girls would like something original like that.....

Can of spray paint the same colour as your M&D's car, might raise a chuckle.

My daughter got a Corgi Mini Cooper and a chocolate car or if you wanted to push the boat out you could pay for her provisional its £45 now :eek:

Definately a can of paint in the colour of her parents car!

But I would highly highly reccomend this CD / DVD. It did me the world of good! It has every theory test question in a database and gives you practice theory tests. Also has hazard perception clips and allows you to download questions onto a mp3 player so that they can listen to them whenever they want.

I would also mention its work getting the theory out of the way now! There is no need to wait as it can just waste money (some instructors wait until your ready to pass the practical then tell you to book the theory. Few months waiting list, pass this then another few months waiting list for the practical = about 5 months extra driving lessons you didnt need). Tell her to get it out the way!

would agree with kr15snw about the dvd. OH is a driving Instructor :eek: and alway reccomends his pupils get that one. If you want something learner related he also gets them to get these, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Know-Traffic-Signs-Driving-Skills/dp/0115528555/ref=pd_bbs_11?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1206642115&sr=8-11 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Official-Guide-Learning-Driving-Skills/dp/011552858X/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1206642134&sr=8-17
