Present idea for DS's girlfriend please

I'd like to get DS's girlfriend a little something for her 20th birthday but I'm totally stuck as to what to get as we don't know her that well as they've only been together for about 6 months and she lives in a different town.

She's not a "girly" girl, I don't think she has any hobbies, just plays sport occasionally, she drives...erm, that's about it.

Budget upto £25. Any ideas please!

Restaurant or cinema voucher?
Photo of the two of them in a frame?

Bunch of flowers
bracelet
nice box of chocolates
prossecco or gin

I had this with DSs girlfriend and settled rather boringly for a Boots voucher thinking that she would use it at some point on something. She wasn't a reader and I didn't know her well enough to know whether she would want a Next/Primark/River Island voucher.

Interested in this thread?

Ask your DS what her fave restaurant is and get a voucher? X

You could pay for the two of them to go out for dinner, or get cinema vouchers.
Other than that I think she will be really pleased you have got her a present so you could get some yummy hotel chocolate chocolates, sol de janeiro gift set, sweet hamper…..

TKMAXX card. Lots of options there.

i'd go with a gift card from whatever store is 'in' at the moment, that or a cinema voucher so they can both have a night out

What about a bottle of perfume - I think that would be a nice gift, even if she's not very 'girly'. Some ideas

I would ask DS for her favourite place to eat/ for coffee/ for books/ for shopping and get a voucher for this place plus an interesting birthday card.

Amazon voucher. You can get cute little boxes for them which can be wrapped up.

OhMyGiddyAunt · 21/07/2024 19:26

I've tried asking DS but he's equally stuck for ideas.

I don't think she wears perfume. Doesn't drink Prosecco. No idea where she shops for clothes

I think the cinema /restaurant vouchers are probably the safest bet as I know they'll be used.

Thank you 😊

I scored a huge hit with my ds's girlfriend at Christmas by asking him and swearing him to secrecy....

I got an Airbnb gift card for DS girlfriend which they put towards a night away together- that went down well. Have also got her a voucher for a nice place to have a beauty treatment in the city they live in, a Wagamama voucher and Ticketmaster gift card so they can buy tickets to something they want to see. Also sent her flowers from Bloom and Wild once, she liked those. Or you could get her a really nice bottle of spirit if you know what she likes to drink- they do some fun ones in the John Lewis food department.

I bought DS's girlfriend a bottle of flavoured Gin and a pair of nice gin glasses from Next for her 20th birthday
