Very cool creative kind, same sex marriage and passionate about human/womans rights, love tattoos, gold jewellery but always looks unique and doesn’t really follow the trends, likes arts and creating, always the person we will go to if we have an idea but can’t make it come together.

loves food, cooking, walks with their dog, country pubs but is mostly found in a theatre or teaching songs/dance. Very fun and extremely funny but also a deep thinker and an academic and is midst an open learning creative writing degree.

Will be grateful for anything but I’m always trying to find the perfect thing for her and feeling the pressure with it being a big birthday, she is also soon going to be going through a big change in life (a happy one) and would love something meaningful to spoil her possibly represent that.

I’d search on Etsy maybe “ rainbow” some beautiful suncatchers, paperweights and hand made gifts.
You’d probably also find personalised notebooks or hand made jewellery.

I would make a hamper of smaller gifts they would enjoy instead of aiming for one big present

A beautiful fountain pen that she’ll treasure forever.

Ooh - Papier do beautiful reasonably priced personalised journals/notebooks.

The Poetry Pharmacy also have lovely little gift ideas: https://www.poetrypharmacy.co.uk

I love Papier. Also got a lovely notebook for my cousin from Wainwright Bookbinding recently who was doing a museum collab, with hand marbled cover and I think can add initials

She sounds great btw does she need any new friends? 😂

She sounds incredible! Does she do Yoga? Perhaps a top notch Mat or a Goat Yoga class with a friend. I also love Papier so agree that a beautiful personalised journal would be lovely.
