Bath products have always gone down well with me. I'd never buy them for myself but when I recieve them I love the chance to pamper myself.

We don't know anything about her, does she read a lot, what are her hobbies and interests?

Cricrichan · 02/03/2018 14:35

Nice sleepwear. Something for any hobby that she has or sports that she plays. Nice prosecco glasses. Photo album with pics of you two and her and her friends. Handbag.

Are you staying in a hotel with a spa? Book a treatment & ask them to email over a voucher to open?

A bottle of rum.

I'm a bit Hmm at the amount of people who seem to think there is a generic good gift for either a man or a woman.

If my partner of 4 years bought me bath stuff or a spa voucher I'd be so insulted. But an amazon voucher, or a ITunes or Google Play voucher... Now you're talking!

Merino base layer.

Scented candle, book, beautiful stationery (little notebook for her bag), nice leather coin purse, lingerie, photo frame. Let us know what you decide on.

Some good ideas and based on the fact we are going to be outdoors a bit whilst away i might go with the scarf and gloves idea ??

NotTheFordType is right, it depends entirely on what sort of person she is. I'd hate a spa treatment or bath products, but something tailored to my interests, or a lovely photo in a frame (something you've really thought about and put effort into) would melt me.

Framed photo of you both on a memorable occasion, e.g. a mountain top or dressed up for a party

A compilation printed book of photos of you both or significant things/places/people

Pink champagne truffles

Not sure about scarf/gloves TBH. I think of them as a generic Xmas gift for someone you don't know well.

Theatre/concert/show tickets

Silk pillowcases

An electrical gadget, e.g a phone charging power pack in a colour or design she would like

Trinket box or jewellery box

A plant which has a name like "birthday" or her own name

An "experience" like a racing car session, wine tasting, hot air balloon ride, zookeeper for a day etc.
