help with gift ideas

Me and my bestie have a £10 limit for our birthdays this month. She is early 30s, two small boys, not into any particular hobbies or anything.

I am stumped as to what to get her! I was thinking a nice lip gloss or something but I'm sure I've done that to death previously.

Any ideas?

A nice keyring, a large scented candle, a collage frame for her house could put pics of her children in or of you and her? Put a gift bag together with some pamper gifts in like bubble bath, bath bombs, face mask, moisturing cream, nail varnish

Make her a birthday cake (she might not get one with two small boys!), buy her a cinema ticket and offer to babysit her boys when she goes to the cinema!

lovely ideas thank you!
ricekrispie - esp love your idea of babysitting for cinema trip! Unfortunately I have an 8mo and one of her small boys is only 8 weeks so that might be one for next bday Grin

If you think she would like the cinema how about making up a 'home cinema box' with DVD, popcorn and drink so she can do it at home once kids are in bed. Otherwise how about a book?
