HELP...Ideas for 50th Birthday Gift for someone who has everything?

[Yankydoodledandy]

A lovely lady I want to buy a gift for.
She has everything, doesnt drink, doesnt eat chocolate, not one for going out much. I have no clue!!!!!

Budget?

id say a nice candle, flowers, a voucher for you both to go for afternoon tea…

Candle could be an idea.
No to tea...she is a Vegan too so maybe difficult

Rose bush - you may find a 50th birthday ones, or may find one with her name.

magazine subscription

afternoon tea delivery

Is there something you could go together if not yea then?

you can get very nice vegan candles.

What does she like?

A really nice blanket (if she likes cosy nights in)

flower subscription

voucher for where she gets her hair done

Spa/massage
Afternoon tea
A good book
A nice pen

I looking for similar for 2 friends. Currently stumped.

A broadway show? Gardening things? A visit to a rose garden? A fruit free/ exotic indoor plant? Concert to see her fav band? A nice vegan leather handbag?

Are you sure she wants a gift? I hosted a small party for my 50th, I put a message on the invite ... something along the lines 'please, no presents'. I genuinely didn't want anything, I am fortunate enough to be perfectly content with my life, have no need for more 'stuff' .. most people respected my request but I did end up with some well meant gifts ... usually plants which died.

... so many suggestions for garden stuff ... my idea of hell

Does she read? You can get some really lovely book subscriptions, some come with wee treats like candles and things, I was given one from a really great bookshop where I filled in a very detailed questionnaire and they sent me some perfect hand-picked choices.

Spa certificate? Tickets to the show she wants to attend? Books on topics she's interested in? Could be a book subscription, there are so many options: www.independent.co.uk/extras/indybest/books/best-book-subscription-boxes-b2130796.html
Instead of a card you can make a birthday slideshow for her and send it via email, or print out a birthday photo collage.

A vibrator.

The only kind of present l really enjoy is gardening stuff!! So all depends on her lifestyle.

How about a vegan cookery class? These days I much prefer experiences to things as gifts.

Another way to approach it might be to think if there is something that would eliminate a daily annoyance - my DH did that one year at Christmas for me and eliminated about five regular sources of annoyance / stress and improved my daily life no end even though each individual gift wasn't huge (for example, a new power bank as I was always running out of battery).

It’s hard when we don’t know her interests, but thinking of myself and the sort of things I would love to receive.

I would say nice pajamas and a good book, perfume (anything from Chanel or Dior!) nice body products (neom, molton brown, rituals) posh tea & biscuits (fortnum and mason) or one of their hampers, nice skincare (Elemis) lovely candle or diffuser, wax melts and burner, slippers or dressing gown (like white company) beauty advent calendar, cookbook, jewellery, anything that helps me sleep like pillow spray and eye mask, nice hair products, voucher for manicure/facial, Fresh flowers.

I could go on and on!! Whatever you decide I am sure it will be well received, pop in a gift receipt and know that she can always exchange it.

House plant
Garden plant
Candle
Throw
A vegan hamper
Visit to art exhibition/ lunch afterwards
Depending on when her birthday is, a trip to one of the Christmas light installations ( Kew, Lots if NT places have them)
NT membership
A Lend with Care voucher lendwithcare.org

AnnieKenney do You have a link please re vegan cooking class.

Dh and I looked up cooking classes. About £300 for not very much, so were not prepared to book.

Try these: Made in Hackney (they do online classes too and foraging walks which might appeal?) or Class Bento

Or you could try a three month (or longer!) subscription for a meal kit service. Mindful Chef always has good vegan options or you could go for the gourmet Gauthier which is amazing but unfortunately on hold until 2023. There are other options listed at this link but I haven't tried them so can't comment.
