heeellllllppppppppppp! please, im begging:)

[nomorebooze]

need £30 pressie for the most fussy sis in the world late 30's! she likes fashion and beauty and is extremely picky............... she can quite frankly be to the point of rude if she doesn't like her pressie. don't like resorting to gift vouchers but getting rather stressed with it now. any help much appreciated.... thanks oh wise ones

Magazine subscription?

Liberty London does gift coins instead of vouchers? Look more fun than normal shopping vouchers. But no idea if you can "cash them in" online...

Urban Decay Naked/Naked 2 pallet?

thanks ohtinky:) will keep in mind if cant find anything else!

worm77daisy- I would love that as a gift, but she wouldn't appreciate that:(

chocchip88 contender but think she wouldn't wear 40% off colours......argghh, god shes fussy!

have you looked at mumsnet swear by for beauty products? my sister sounds similar to yours, i buy on recommendation alone then blame the people who made the Recommendation! she likes benefit make up, is v expensive, but lovely! lower cost but still great products are soap and glory range?

Does she like a make-up brand? Benefit makeup is fab with some gorgeous/vintage looking/retro packaging.

Sorry cross post with redcar there

My sister is just like this but I've had enough. She can give me some pretty precise clues ie tell me what she wants or she gets voucher . I know it nice to get a surprise but only if you are 'open' to surprises. I don't have all the hours in the day to search for the perfect present and my sister needs to realise this!

I do feel your pain.

My best friend is the pickest (gay) man ever. He only likes 'beautiful' things, not on the high street, no kitchen/household stuff, doesn't do food stuffs....everything has to be quirky, handmade, unique and just 'beautiful'. Although only he knows what that is. Every year I put more energy and thought into his present than my own DH!

(Last year I got it really wrong and he just sighed at me and said "well, I can tell you've tried)

I think minilegofigure is right. I've got to that point and this year I've just bought some stuff I think my friend will like and, well, stuff him!

She sounds hard work, get her this - next year she won't complain about what you get her...

Harryhausen - and get this one for your friend.

The £60 soap and glory set will be £27 in boots on Friday?

Something from-
Stella and dot?
Anthropologie

Does she like....
Jo Malone, you can get a small perfume from there for around £30?
Candles
One expensive make up item like a shishedo brush, or clarin flash balm?

Bottle of champagne!
Chanel nail polish
Agent provocateur knickers

this? -Warehouse scarf or this -another warehouse scarf

and this- Nails inc

thanks everyone:)

minilegofigure: you are so right , if only it was that easy my family are painful I think im the black sheep im grateful for what I get wish others were the same...................

DontmindifIdo : god that made me laugh, tempted!

eating then will have a proper look at suggestions:)

I'm, how about an etiquette book?

Or a mug emblazoned with "I'm rude and proud"
