any ideas for something super special ? up to £50 in value

A nice perfume discovery set?

I really like the hanging decorations from Sarah Myatt Glass. All of her stuff is beautiful. She has a shop on Folksy. And she's a lovely lady too :)

A rose sent from David Austin Roses.

https://sevenyays.com/ It's like a birthday advent calendar with 7 gifts in it.

You can change the gifts from a selection on the website as you click through.

agree with PP - a bare root rose from David Austin. It’s the perfect time to plant them now (over the next couple of months). The Roald Dahl rose is beautiful - loads of apricot flowers and keeps going for months.

I'd be cautious about buying a bare root rose without discussing it with the recipient first. They aren't cheap and won't thrive unless you have a sunny spot. People who are seriously into gardening usually have their own ideas about colour schemes and what they want.

Another idea is a top end item of something they'd normally buy but never spend that on themselves so if they like wine, a £50 bottle of wine, or if they like gardening, one of those hand forged Japanese hori hori tools (more than £50 though) but as an idea, something normally used but ultra lux.

Voucher for a restaurant or activity she will like.

A lovely soft lounge suit with a book/magazine, chocolates, wine and face mask?
Bouquet of festive flowers (I always used to think they’d be a pain in the neck but got them one year from Freddie’s Flowers and they were gorgeous!)
lovely festive wreath (if she likes that kind of gift, my cousin would love it, I wouldn’t be bothered)
super comfy slippers
voucher for a massage/spa
everyman cinema vouchers
Elizabeth Scarlett pouch with some wee things to pop inside
travel cubes, portable charger, travel size luxury toiletries, Uniqlo
Round mini shoulder bag if she likes travelling
ticket to a show (and you get one too so you go together)
lego flowers

Wentworth jigsaw puzzle

Agree with pp - a hori hori Japanese garden knife and a gift voucher for David Austin roses.

How about something like this, slightly over budget but you get 10% off your first order and it’s free delivery.
I have a flat lay makeup bag from there and it’s beautiful. I’ve also given a couple as gifts which have been well received.

I bought one of these for a 52nd birthday and the seller made it specially for me. Thought it might be a lovely idea for your friend. 😊 x
