@whimsical1975, great minds think alike!

The one I saw on Etsy had sold out. EBay has one (shipping from USA) but doesn't come with the box. With a little look, @SunshineDaisiesButterMellowxx might find what she's looking for.

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

Agree with this. Or a boots/m+s voucher Smile

Getting some great ideas, thank you!

@Emmmmz9 @Agnorant ..the airplants have arrived and they are SO much better than I imagined !

Very well packaged.. just wrap the box if it's a gift you're going to give soon. It has instructions enclosed. They're much bigger than I imagined.. am really impressed!

Bean tin to give you more of an idea on size!

@Houseplanter
Where did you order them from please?

Emmmmz9 · 10/10/2023 12:09

@Houseplanter oh my they are stunning!
Hope they’re still in stock nearer Christmas. Thank you so much for the photo

Mangolover123 · 10/10/2023 12:20

@Houseplanter how have you suspended them from the ceiling?
Did you buy 3 - I think they would look amazing in my bathroom!

Agnorant · 10/10/2023 12:52

@Houseplanter Thank you so much for updating, they look even better on your photo and much bigger than I thought!

Agnorant · 10/10/2023 12:52

They are from here @Bundtbake

They're really very light and already have clear nylon fishing line on them so I'm confident a drawing pin in the ceiling will be sufficient

oh these air plants make me realise why it’s hard to buy for other people, what one person likes another thinks is “tat” 😬

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

Can a person by Premium Bonds for another adult? I didn't know that. I hope it's true.

FrontEnd · 11/10/2023 13:50

Mason Pearson small hairbrush or a £50 Steam voucher for me, please

sanitygirl · 11/10/2023 13:51

A book you think I'd enjoy.
Tickets to an exhibition or show you know I would like.

OrribleAlloween · 12/10/2023 13:18

When I was really stuck for a prezzie for my boss, I bought him a 12 month magazine subscription ( Trout Fishing or suchlike😳) He was chuffed to bits!

Might this be an idea? There are so many choices out there, and plenty of offers at this time of year, as Christmas presents, have a browse online.

NotMeekNotObedient · 28/10/2023 19:47

I agree a massage voucher.

Otherwise maybe something luxurious like cashmere socks/gloves/hoodie. Silk pillowcases or pj's?

Ilovelurchers · 29/10/2023 20:26

A photo gift of some kind of a lovely photo you have of her/her loved ones. Or commission a pencil portrait of her child or pet or self by a decent portrait drawing person? Or give her a voucher saying you will take her for a day out? Or pick a few books you think she will love?

I was going to ask the same question. My understanding is that you can only buy them for children? I'd love to buy one for my DC each birthday and Christmas but couldn't see a way of doing it.

dressedforcomfort · 31/10/2023 07:37

I'd spend it on an experience she would like

Voucher for a massage or beauty treatment
Theatre voucher
Afternoon tea
Voucher for an fun activity - escape room, adult crazy golf etc.

dressedforcomfort · 31/10/2023 07:37

Personally I would HATE the posh candle option. I never understand why people rave about it on here....

AllotmentTime · 31/10/2023 08:22

@OrribleAlloween magazine subscription- brilliant, thank you. You have just solved my problem for one of my oldest, dearest, but buys-herself-everything-she-wants friends 🤣 country music mag subscription will be on its way to her this Christmas!

violetcuriosity · 31/10/2023 08:38

Olaplex shampoo & conditioner, voucher for lunch somewhere x
