Gift ideas for DSD birthday

It’s my stepdaughter’s birthday in September. She will be 23 years old. She has a fabulous job and lives in London, earning much more than we do. I don’t know her terribly well and DP is hopeless at gifts. Can anyone suggest a gift or voucher for about £50?

Probably a gift spending time together like a day out with dad doing something she's interested in or an unusual experience day would be best if she's a high earner.

Expensive scented candle - they’re ludicrously expensive and a definite luxury, but also impersonal enough to give to someone you don’t know well

Oooo thank you. Some really helpful suggestions to look at. The day out / experience with her dad is already planned as well - it’s just something inexpensive that they are both ‘into’ but we wanted to give her a physical gift as well.

@Sundaynightterrors Be very aware of brands if she’s a high earner. My dd is snd the suggestion above would not be of interest. Does she like skin creams? Or elements of a skin regime? Diptyque or Jo Malone candies worth a look. If she likes real candles, I bought dd a candlestick from Robert Welsh and it’s been well received. DD has her own flat but might not be a great idea in a shared flat. They are more money but Assouline coffee table books are a joy.
