Xmas present ideas

[REX37]

Hi. I'm taking part in a local charity event where I buy gifts for a child who is in care. It's all anonymous so all I get told are the age and sex of the child. This year I've been allocated a 16 yr old girl. Now I'm struggling with ideas, as I don't want to assume that they'll be like other 16 yr olds I know in that they'll be into all things girlie like makeup. I'm looking to spend £20/30 but would like several gifts in that to make up a parcel. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. X

Hi, I would like some opinions or advise please. Me and my husband are looking for our first family home to buy and as FTB we don't have that much money therefore really posh locations would be out of our league. But we found a house in the best location possible (i was told at work that if we could afford the house in that area we would be sorted for life). Now, the house is about 100K cheaper than the usual price in that area. I asked the agent and he said that the surveyor of the previuous buyer who'd withdrawn his application found that the house needs roof fising and the dump work. On the pictures from the Zoopla you would never say that! The questons is does it worth even going for this house? If we could fix it (hopefully it is not urgent jobs) we could sell in the future if we like for 230K. What are the chances that we are going to get the mortgage on the house that requires so much work?

Pikosan think you’ve posted in area of low traffic and you might have more luck elsewhere.
OP I would go to Boots and get some nice toiletries or some neutral slipper socks.
Or a diary and decent pen. A jewellery making set? It sounds a lovely charity.

I would suggest three £15 make up items in boots 3for2.
