What would you Mummys like to recieve as a birthday present ???

[mummyloveslucy]

One of my friends from the nursery has asked my husband and I around to hers for drinks as it's her birthday tomorrow.
I just wondered what to get her as a pressie?, do you have any idea, what would you like to recieve?
Childrens parties are always easier, I just give a DVD.

make up, chocs, wine

A voucher for a local beauty place so I could have a manicure.

book voucher or boots voucher (for make-up).

new jewellery.....think the costume type in sainsburys/tesco/next.

wine and chocs (altho check for allergies first).

Vouchers : Boots/M&S/Next I'm always desperate for stuff and then I can choose my own.
If you don't want to give vouchers, then wine and chocolates

A candle (Jo Malone or Diptique would thrill me, but any nice one would do)

Or an orchid.

Thanks everyone, wine and chocs is always a safe bet.

amazon tokens, chocolates, wine, flowers

christian louboutins or manolo blakniks

feck the books get them in the library for free!

sorry MLL i dint read your full text
bottle of nail varnish
why are you going to the expense if shes not really a friend friend ?
a token gift of not huge expense should be delghtful to receive

an estee lauder none or chanel!

one not none

hermykne- I don't even know what those things are.

She is a friend, we meet up with our children and go to the cinima etc. I haven't known her for long, but she is lovely. She would be pleased with anything.

they are designer shoes (though tis usu spelt Blahnik)

NB dvds for nursery age children? I give books...

Angelina Ballerina is fine MrsB

Gosh my three year old would LOVE a dvd of The Little Mermaid!
For an adult you didn't know very well, but liked, flowers, bottle of wine, nice card. One step up? Posh candle, posh bath stuff, pair of earrings, nice book.

MrsBadger, I didn't think a DVD was a bad pressie. My daughter loves them. Maybe I should buy books in future. I don't want the other Mummys to judge me too.
( she also loves books!)

My dd has so many books (from her brother and older sister and presents and charity shops etc that we simply have no more room for them (full bookshelves, full cupboards, under the bed, all over the floor) - we now go to the library instead.

A good DVD is a very appropriate present for a toddler/young child

The closest I come to designer shoes is clarks.

Thanks, we always chose good DVD's that we've watched and Lucy really enjoys.

We always recieve thank you notes saying that the child liked it.

do you know I'd be pleased to receive any birthday present - dh has been falling down on the job past couple of years
