What goes with tights and a book?

I like to have a bit of a theme rather than a random selection of gifts but i've lost it here. I have bought a friend a book and a pair of snag tights to try (hers are always falling down) and want a third gift - no more than about £8 -£10. What would tie these together or have I got no hope?

Chocolates to eat when reading her book whilst wearing her new tights?
New scarf?

Hot chocolate kit or a box of chocs to keep her warm and provide a bit of padding round her waist so her tights don't fall down.

@JustDoItNowForChristSake @Hotchocolatemousse should have said she doesn't really eat chocolate so you might be on to something as to why her tights fall down 😁

I would have definitely said a candle, tk maxx do some lovely ones for that price. If she isn’t in to chocolate then some lovely herbal tea?

A bottle of something to make a cosy night in?

Forgoodnesssakejustletme · 19/11/2023 15:19

@TheGirlWhoLived I did think candle so maybe - I just struggle to choose the scent. @Flubadubba she is a mixologist so next to impossible to buy her something impressive.

I guess I'm looking for something different to the usual.

@Forgoodnesssakejustletme i think eating chocolate is a good reason as any to prevent your tights from falling down.

Nice shade of nail varnish for her toes to wear under the tights whilst she reads her book??

Forgoodnesssakejustletme · 19/11/2023 16:13

@Littleredcorvettepurplerain hmmm maybe...

What book did you buy and what colour tights? Can you link them that way?

I'd probably chuck in a pair of book print tights or a bookmark that looks like a leg or something fun.

Forgoodnesssakejustletme · 19/11/2023 16:32

@JazzTheDog hmmm not sure I want to say title of book in case I blow my cover but the tights are black. I may have to think laterally here....

@JazzTheDog hmm I like your thinking but not quite there. Keep going 😀

A book or reading light?

ProvisionsOnTheDock · 19/11/2023 17:09

Sorry, what? You've bought your friend some tights? I hope this suggestion has come from her otherwise that's seriously weird!

Forgoodnesssakejustletme · 19/11/2023 17:39

@declutteringmymind hmmm that's a possibility.
@ProvisionsOnTheDock do you think so? Maybe we are weird- it's a bit of a joke that her tights are always falling down

Bubble bath or hot water bottle.

Agree that tights are an odd present.

TheChosenTwo · 19/11/2023 17:42

I’ve got my dds a pair of snags each for their Christmas stockings! got them last year too, they love them, have worn them a lot and have specifically requested more this year.
I would just go with something like a candle, I’d love to receive candles, books and tights (only snag ones!) for Christmas.
I don’t think they necessarily have to ‘go’, an adult with appreciate the thought behind each thing.

Voucher for coffee? Posh coffee cup?

Forgoodnesssakejustletme · 19/11/2023 17:51

@TheChosenTwo I love snag tights too and know how well they fit. I also know she wouldn't buy herself a pair as although she has money, she would think them expensive until she sees how good they are. Maybe you are as weird as us 😂

Some fags. Don’t know why but tights and a book made me think of photos of women from the 60s.

China mug.
Nice hand cream.

One of those clip on book lights, I use mine all the time, and even take it on holiday.

I think these are brilliant ideas and if she reads a lot you can never have too many bookmarks
