Birthday present for an iceskating sister

My sister has just got the job of her dreams as a skate coach and it's her 20th birthday this weekend. I have no money at all, but was planning on making a cake, maybe a skating one have no idea at all but sure I will think of something. Any other ideas? I know you guys are good at this thing.

    Make her a glove minder - you know the things children have, it's a long string with clips on each end, kids wear them through their sleeves to keep their gloves attached to their persons. If she's going to be on the ice but not moving, it's going to get cold.

    An idea I thought of - if you haven't got money and need a pressie post haste - maybe you could print a picture off google of some famous iceskating stars (Torville & Dean spring to mind but that's cos they are the only ones I know! lol) and frame the picture. If you can't buy a frame (although charity shops are cheap for this), maybe you could take one of your pics off your wall or mantlepiece and use the frame? You could always replace it when you've got money again.. HTH.
