This is a friend I've bought presents for every year for 20+ years and it just gets harder. I did suggest we stop but she asked that we continue. She's difficult to please - not that she's ungrateful at all, far from it but she knows what she likes and doesn't like. So.. I have done toiletries, jewellery, candles and bags/purses to death. Have also bought plants and flowers a few times.
She doesn't wear much makeup. Doesn't like beauty treatments. Doesn't consider vouchers of any kinda 'proper gifts'. Not many hobbies, doesn't travel much. Does enjoy reading but I wouldn't know what she has/hasn't read and she wouldn't appreciate a voucher. She had a couple of mag subscriptions off family for Christmas. Not a keen cook, never uses the cookery books and not one to enjoy just browsing a new one used to enjoy crafts but can't use one of her hands very well now which limits what she can do. We take it in turns to take each other out for meals so that wouldn't be anything different. Doesn't drink much, and not adventurous food-wise, so exotic ingredients or unusual serving dishes which I'd love for example she wouldn't use. I wouldn't buy her clothes. Theatre trip wouldn't work geographically.
- I love buying presents and usually manage to find nice things for people but always struggle with this one and have completely drawn a blank this year .
Budget about £25 - because that's what we agreed we would spend on each other.
Any help appreciated, thank you
