What would be a lovely thing to do with DD17 for under £300

Dd had a really hard year. She was in hospital for nearly a whole year and came out in spring.
We did a spa in the summer
someone has given us money to do something nice together.
all I can think of is spa or a show in London and over night stay.
just wondered if anyone had any other ideas??
I love the idea of the London trip but we also need to go and look at unis there and that becomes stressful and I worry that will end up becoming part of it.

so any great ideas?

It depends what your DD likes but a stay in a nice country hotel with afternoon tea and country walks etc? I had a similar situation and my DD is a mummy’s girl and a middle aged woman in a teenager’s body so it suited her.

As her if there is anything she would like to do. She might want to go for a posh afternoon tea , another spa day for pampering or something else completely random , perhaps trying a new hobby or pastime. Depending on where you live a day trip to Jersey or Guernsey for lunch is a nice way to spend a day. If you go to Guernsey restaurants and the shops are within a 5 minute walk from the port. York is a lovely City if your DD wants an overnight somewhere perhaps with a bit of Christmas Shopping.
