My DD is about to turn 29 and sounds a bit like your friend. She has asked for money to frame some prints so any kind of art is always welcome, plus some pyjamas. She adores house plants so gifts from Patch etc are always great. Books are always welcome. Alcohol is good- interesting craft beers, gin or wine. Foodie gifts go down a treat so vouchers for a cafe or restaurant.

House plant subscription?

Art
Bangle
Towelling robe (underrated)
Tickets to an exhibition

Voucher for local independent book shop?

Notebooks too nice to write in.

A clay shooting lesson
A surprise picnic at the Horniman or on Hampstead Heath complete with rug, food, a bottle of chilled fizz & proper glasses,
During lockdown1/home schooling my sis arranged for a cream tea to be delivered to my door. It was lovely.
A go on one of those electric scooter

A voucher for Anthropologie, coffee voucher, book shop voucher.

How about renewing this?

Have a look on Florence Given's website and Urban Outfitters do a really nice home range / little bits that are nice

A copy of Sarah Winman's new novel Still Life, and a pair of good quality 'snips' for trimming my houseplants

That's a fabulous book. I had it on Audible and recommended it to my 29yo DD.

This sounds like me haha. I would recommend some homeware from Oliver bonas. Something like this: www.oliverbonas.com/homeware/agata-gold-tumbler-glasses-set-of-four-248482

Thanks everyone! I will have a good look through all of your suggestions. I'm sure the collective MN wisdom will mean I find her the perfect gift
