Lego flower bouquet!
Or just nothing. An adult who can buy themselves anything they want doesn't really need £50+ worth of presents.

Votary cleansing oil
The White Company candle in Winter scent.
A new house plant in a beautiful planter.

A voucher for a massage, beauty treatment, or restaurant I like.

BristolBlueGlasses · 07/10/2023 09:51

Premium bonds. The chance of a million pound win every month forever.
Or £50 in her pocket any time she wants it.

RaeHitsEbSire · 07/10/2023 09:51

Posh food hamper.

Lovethatforyouhun · 07/10/2023 09:51

Bottle of Laurent Perrier Rose
Decent candle
TV streaming sub for a year

If she is that fussy a JL voucher

LimeCheesecake · 07/10/2023 09:52

Nice food /food hamper

otherwise, does she have any hobbies etc?

HollyGolightly4 · 07/10/2023 09:53

White company Christmas gift set which has their Winter candle and cashmere bed socks in!

DelurkingAJ · 07/10/2023 09:56

I really like the idea of premium bonds. I was that 30 year old and I’d have been thrilled. It’s that or an upgrade of something she uses all the time. So a really nice pair of gloves for me, for example.

Something my from 100 stars, beautiful dressing gowns

GunboatDiplomacy · 07/10/2023 10:00

Membership of the V&A (if in London)

Popcorn640 · 07/10/2023 10:01

Subscription for 3 months of flowers from bloom and wild is £75 - I'm early 30s and would be delighted with that, as it's not something I'd justify spending my own money on, but I'd enjoy them a lot!

Soontobe60 · 07/10/2023 10:01

Take her out for cocktails or bottomless brunch somewhere swanky!

gotomomo · 07/10/2023 10:02

Anything but an expensive candle, just don't get the attraction. Lidl has knock off ones for £4 that smell just as good

Mintearo7 · 07/10/2023 10:04

Thoughtful piece of jewellery. Takes time to find a nice piece of jewellery, even if she has the money she might not have the time.

Mintearo7 · 07/10/2023 10:05

Also Le Cruset bits if she likea
cooking/baking.

LeafHunter · 07/10/2023 10:07

Food, membership, hobby stuff, books. Mr Bs book emporium do excellent book subscription services. I’d love a cooking or painting experience but similar aged friend would love a water sports one. Can you ask someone nearer to her for ideas? Or ask her ( we all have wish lists to make life easier 😂)

This!

Or consumables - champagne, nice chocolates.

Id also love sweaty Betty black power leggings but depends if she’s into fitness.

Restaurant / afternoon tea vouchers.

Yokaiwatch · 07/10/2023 10:09

I would love an Indian head massage but I can’t justify buying myself one. If you could get her spa vouchers to cover something like that would she enjoy it? It’s not for everyone but it’s the sort of thing you don’t normally buy for yourself.

Same goes for an entertainment gift card - Vue cinema gift card for example.

ThomasinaLivesHere · 07/10/2023 10:10

I agree with vouchers for something she’d like like spa or cinema. Or just from a shop she likes.

KatieKat88 · 07/10/2023 10:10

Book tokens for me!

TrishTrix · 07/10/2023 10:10

Does she exercise? If so a stretch.

Toddler101 · 07/10/2023 10:11

A cleaner.

Or an experience.

Or a class. I'd quite like to do a cake decorating class!

PrudeyTwoShoes · 07/10/2023 10:19

Treat her to lunch or dinner? Or a day at the spa? Does she like walking? I've recently bought a national trust membership, which has been fab (mainly to take the kids out).

Batalax · 07/10/2023 10:20

An experience, maybe one you could do together if you are close.
