Need help with wording on DD's present.

I fully appreciate that this is not really AIBU so I'm probably automatically BU.

BUT I need help with some wording. I'm taking dd to see SIX next week for her birthday. In London.

For her gift I'm going a series of little certificates of things counting up to six.

So far I have:

1 day out
2 train journeys
3 hours shopping
4 tasty bao buns (her fave and we'll go out for dinner after the show).

Obviously six will be the show but what do I put for 5? I can't think of anything.

Any ideas? Thank you so much.

So cool!! Maybe try and spot 5 Christmas trees when you’re in London 😊

stressbucket1 · 15/12/2023 21:17

If its 5 days before you could say 5 days to wait or something.

How old is she? Is 5 cocktails appropriate?! Or visit (walk past) 5 London landmarks?

TheMadGardener · 15/12/2023 21:19

5 pieces of merch at the theatre - programme, mug, T shirt etc. Could get expensive!
5 famous London buildings seen on your trip.

5 gold rings? Maybe rings or bracelets or something? 😁

5 sweets

QueenMabby · 15/12/2023 21:21

All great ideas! She'll be 15.

Is it by any chance 5 tube stops to get from one place to another in your plan for the day?

Anono34 · 15/12/2023 21:26

I think I would say 5 little treats and then get some merch or snacks/ drinks for when you’re there?

GreatGateauxsby · 15/12/2023 21:29

This is an AWESOME gift....

5 french treats (you could go to Laduree and get macarons)

5 things fings from fortnum & mason (it's really nearby the theatre you can have a browse there are SO many tasty things in the food hall)

Teaandtoast12 · 15/12/2023 21:38

5 stops from X station?

myphoneisbroken · 15/12/2023 21:40

What a lovely present - lucky DD! Hope you have a super day.

TommyJoesMummy · 15/12/2023 21:42

5pm -pizza, if you’re eating before?

JenJenJenJenJenJen · 15/12/2023 21:46

This is very sweet.

5 didn’t make it?

All2Well · 15/12/2023 21:50

£5 to buy a coffee/bubble tea/sweets for the theatre?

changed1 · 15/12/2023 21:51

Five more stops? Maybe go into a few little shops on the way?

MerryMarigold · 15/12/2023 21:59

5 instagram posts

5 souvenirs

5 trips to the loo

That's a great idea! She loves macarons so we can make a side trip!
