I need a gift for my brothers gf.

She is 28, very very high maintenance (sp?), likes designer labels and is the manager of a make up counter so make up is a no.


I have asked my brother for ideas but he still hasn't got back to me.

Don't want to spend any more than £10. Oh and choc is no good either as she is always on some stupid detox thingy.

Hmm thing is she more than likely has some because she can get stuff like that mega cheap through work, so has millions of lotions and potions.

Cute cuddly effort on a keyring like you get in Accessorize

I would love to not bother, believe me.

She doesn't drink really so no alcohol.

Accessorize voucher is a good idea, although not sure it is upmarket enough for her taste lol.

Cinema voucher is a waste of time because my brother always pays Hmm

She has millions of make-up bags and lots of expensive jewellery.

My mum has got her socks, and I got her socks and something last year.

She likes David and Goliath stuff, do they do gift vouchers ?? Couldn't see anything about them on their site, and all of their stuff is too pricey for me to actually buy anything.

Oh she loves Twlight but has all of the dvds and things as far as I know.

I am fussy and have everything I want so would love donation to charity.
Unfortunately, the sorts of everything I have already does not include designer stuff, she doesn't sound like me at all(!).
I suggest gift vouchers to somewhere like Debenhams, or if you could spend a bit more, a voucher for a facial or pedicure, that type of thing.

What about a bottle of swish apple juice (Chegworth valley type thing), with mulling spices. Mulled apple juice is just as nice as mulled wine, and she can serve it to others if she doesn't want it herself. She may be gratified to be thought hospitable!

a bunch of flowers?


I wouldn't bother with anything too much really, if she has everything. She sounds spoilt.
