b/day pressie help for eldery posh aunt who lives far away TA

[nailpolish]

we send flowers every year

but i am trying to think of something else

thought of wine but its a bit out of price range really, and shes more of a whisky drinker

she likes chocolates?

and things like posh scarves and gloves, but has trillions of these

ditto perfume

How about some molton brown stuff?

How about theatre vouchers - am just about to buy some as Xmas pressie for some older posh relatives. Depends if she can get out and about I suppose.

Or book tokens?

i would like somehting i can order and send her

she lives miles away from civilisation - the scottish islands (hebrides) and i dont think they have a theatre nearby

i like the idea of molton brown.....

she doestn read books, she says she doesnt have time!!!!!!

ok

anyone know any nice toiletries i can order and send online

or chocs?

i only have about £15

advent chocs
I know this is beyond your budget but it sounds like a fab idea.

that is nice but its a bit christmassy

its for a birthdya pressie

I use a website called Royal Mile whiskies. They do nice minatures in box sets, or whisky tasting glasses, that kind of thing.

Delivery is quite expensive but it might give you some ideas.

thanks kezza

i think that shop is near where dh works actually...

Lots of other yummy choices on the website tho'. Wish someone would send me some!

yes it is near where dh works

but i think dh will think im mad as she can get whisky from the distillery

oh yes i saw the other stuff too fox!

i think chocs are the best idea so far...

i am veering towards the truffles

that site has very good prices

Lots of good stuff at Hotel Chocolat too.

How about something from Past Times ? There's some lovely stuff... There's an outlet store here too which is cheaper so if there was anything there I could pick it up for you...

God yes!

drool

i used to live near there, i can confirm the chocs are delicious

oh have linked past times to dh and he loves that idea

(its dhs aunt not mine btw)

zephyrcat, where is the pasttimes outlet, please?

The outlet is in Southampton - it's just a normal shop but cheaper!! I got my Mum a gorgeous silver Mackintosh bracelet for under £20!

the nightdresses on the past times are lovely for aunt

thats right up her street that site

thanks zeph

No probs
