gift ideas for my best mates 40th

[sunglasses]

Can anyone help me with a present idea for the girl who has everything??? Any unusual or interesting ideas would be greatly appreciated. We both live in London if thats of any help.

Budget?

For my best mate's 40th ... I kidnapped her 3 boys and took them on a photo-shoot.

I took 4 photos ( 3 singles and a joint ) in Blak and white and mounted them.

They were quite good - but the thing that really got her was that I had taken the time and they had managed to keep the secret !!

Budget is probably under £150.
Photo idea is good but she has no children and is in fact currently going through ivf! She has been having a bit of a hard time recently so would be good to cheer her up. Any more suggestions?
Thanks everyone who replies

For my best mates 40th, I dug out some old photos from our distant past (school days, social, wedding, etc), made a collage and decorated it. I then framed it with "40" confetti scattered inside. I was really pleased with the result (as was my mate!). Deffo a one off!

well for my 40th recently I got a voucher for pampering from my lovely mn friends, a voucher for a photo shoot and large print from db & sil. I said i'll have to have a makeover 1st and they said they thought I'd like it for dd . Also got a theatre ticket and loads of champers, crystal, a lovely book (also from mn friend). Any ideas there/

How about a night in a hotel? I got one from boots for my sister. One night b & b in a nice hotel was £150

Another idea (and one that I now ask for each birthday) is a voucher for a spa evening. For my 40th, dh paid for me and my two best mates to go to the local posh spa for the evening. It was lovely - had a flotation, dinner and then some girly chat over a glass of vino - perfect!

My best friend gave me a day at the spa in the Sanderson hotel (in London) as a 40th birthday present. It was fab.

I have to come up with something to give to her as it's her 40th this summer so will watch this with interest.

My 2 best mates rented a cottage up north and we had a weekend away. Didn't cost that much but spending time away and together was a real laugh !

Hmmmm-if she's the girl who has everything she probably has spas Choos and posh dinners up to her eyeballs.
Is there something she's always wanted to do/learn but never had the chance (eg sail, play guitar, scuba dive, mountain-climbing) You could book her a trial lesson or alternatively give her an IOU for x lessons of whatever her secret ambition is.
Does she have other friends who could chip in with you? For my hen night a good pal organised a screening of my favourite movie at the Covent Garden Hotel-they do a package with dinner or brunch-think it was about fifty quid per head. I think you can also book individual tickets eg for you and her or her and dp to go to a screening of whatever theyve got on with dinner etc -website is www.firmdale.com.
Or-if she likes a tipple I was given a 1969 (year of my birth)Armagnac as my leaving present from work- I was pregnant so what with that and BF never had any but was assured by DH and his mates that it was amazing!!!
Or a picnic hamper and a trip out to her favourite beauty spot???
A vintage car on hire for the day?
Sorry for length of post....but love a challenge!

What about something like \link{http://www.boots.com/shop/product_details.jsp?productid=1059016&classificationid=1037903&slmRefer=000\This?}, or \link{http://www.boots.com/shop/product_details.jsp?productid=1065500&classificationid=1037903&slmRefer=000\This?}

Wow You lot are great. Some really good ideas here.
She does do the pampering spa thing and nice restaurants a fair bit!! Something I did find was a makeover/make up lesson from a company called blush who come to your house with loads of make up and update your look. They also do parties which might be a laugh.
Love the film thing think i might drop hints for that for my 40th.!
OOh and the recording studio. I have heard of this before. Again more suited to me I think.
My friends took me for a private salsa dance lesson as part of my hen do which was a good laugh. It was somewhere in Camden. Just thinking of ideas for you otto!
