    If you go for a charm bracelet i'd reccomend a Thomas sabo one.
    They are very pretty and can clip on and off.
    They have loads of nice designs (such as champagne bottles, bras, 21st, poker chip, stars all sorts).
    It's then something that can be added to. So she can buy extra charms and her friends can buy them for her too.
    Only problem with the Thomas sabo charms is finding them. You can only really get them in London, online or big house of frazer stores.

    Why don't you just buy her something for her car, like furry dice or a jerry can! :rotfl:

    From experience I know how hard it is to get parents to part with photos of their kids.:rolleyes:

    why not get some copied/scanned and printed, and make up a photo album showing her at her best (and maybe goofiest too? lol) and give that to her to open. It's something she can keep, and add to , in years to come.

    With the price of petrol, the jerry can sounds good.

    She will probably always be chancing her arm & running out:rotfl:

    How about 21 present to open? They don't have to be expensive, maybe a lipstick, favourite chocolate bar, bubble bath etc etc then the last one could be a keep sake? You could take them to the meal with you and it should be a great talking point.

    Hope she has a nice birthday

    She would def prefer one expensive thing than 21 cheap things.

    If the real present was something that lasted, it would be a great idea though.

    Just looked them up, some nice stuff.

    I think that or some tiff earings could be just the thing.
    Thank you

    We bought her a great watch not so long ago, as a present for giving up smoking, a Rotary Rocks (rocks being diamonds).

    Shes into silver, & has two of everything from Tiffany, but I think she could still like more earings.

    So its a "modern" charm bracelet or earings.
    Couldn't get on the Tiff website earlier, will try again.

    Have to go up to London for this stuff, don't I.

    Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.
