Ideas for autumnal/Christmas birthday present

2 replies

One of my DILs has a birthday two days before Christmas, so I like to try to buy and send her a birthday present in October/November, as an early gift well away from the day. So I need some ideas! I usually try to send something that is autumnal or Christmas themed or linked, because she's a wild Christmas fan (as am I). In the past I've sent a 'make your own Autumn Wreath' kit, and a one off subscription to one of those huge Christmas magazines, and those are the sort of thing she loves.

She likes crafting but doesn't have much time at the moment (University course) and, as stated, Christmas. I need to get something around now so that there's a gap before Christmas (I also get her something small for her birthday and a decent Christmas present), that's sufficiently 'wow' (it's a big birthday this year). I'm struggling - help!

A flower subscription? Someone bought me one of these so I received a different bunch every month for 3 months, it was lovely

That's a good idea - I've sent her Bloom and Wild bouquets before now because I love their seasonal ones. I might pencil it in if I can't think of a really wow idea - only because it feels a little bit impersonal, if you know what I mean. Actually, she might like a cake subscription though...
