She is a single mum and doesn't have much spare money so I want to treat her to a nice stocking of goodies. So far I have got her:
Mascara
Eyeshadow
Nail polish
Lipstick
Choc orange
Newlook voucher

More ideas would be much appreciated. Would like to spend around £25 more

Yes! Alcohol!
Her ears aren't pierced. She's too squeamish to get them done. She loves fake tan so was thinking about a bottle of the tan she uses and a new tanning mitt.

Clothes voucher definitely - my sis did this for me and it was so appreciated.
Agree with derek - alcohol miniatures - in fact derek has mentioned all of my ideas.

Miniatures are expensive when you can get a whole drinkable bottle for £4 in Tesco or Asda at the moment.

Just saying... Xmas Smile

Face masks or a nice bath bomb/bubble bath.

Gorgeous idea

Add in a free babysitting voucher or 2 from you to be redeemable when she wants.
Maybe a years magazine subscription? Pressie every month then

For my 25 year old DSis, not a single mum, i have done the following:

Chocolate Santa
Mojito flavour lip balm
Christmas socks
Shower gel
Chocolate coins
2 bags her favourite sweets
Scarf (Sainsbury are doing amazing ones atm)
Christmas badge
Christmas knickers {sainsbury again, v pretty)
A couple of other things that are particular to her

How about posh chocolate she doesnt have to share? Cinema and babysitting voucher?

BatCrapCrazy · 12/12/2014 09:39

All your ideas are brilliant. Ive gone over budget but I think she will love it.
This morning Ive ordered:
Scarf (asos)
Necklace (asos)
Fake tan
Mitt
Knickers (new Look)
Little hot water bottle (New look)
Mirror (Newlook)
A Tamagotchi (ebay - she will love this!)
Will grab her a soap and glory lipgloss in boots tomorrow

And I've added to my sainsburys grocery delivery:
3 bars of lindt chocolate
A packet of haribo
A bottle of malibu

Id do a babysitting voucher but I have the baby over night once a fortnight anyway and she's not shy about asking if she wants me to have him.
