Gift for someone at work with no children in her 40s

[twinsetandpearls]

Just a small gift up to about £15 for a someone I work with, she has no children and is quite high maintenance but lovely with it. I normally buy her some scented candles but have not got time to go to TKMaxx and pick something up.

It's always lovely to receive a book; it always implies that the sender has put thought into it - and there's always that lovely message you can put in the fly-leaf.

lovely luxe tights / a good book or two / fab fun jewellry?

voucher for a manicure?

Beautiful bouquet of flowers?

Some truly fab gourmet chocolates?

Pre children, I was always mesmerised by the beautiful stationery at big department stores (like Liberty). Museums and bookstores sometimes have a good selection too.

book might be a good idea, that is what she tends to get me, love the idea of gourmet chocolate although I don't think you can get that up here! No large department stores, will probably need online with quick delivery.

Maybe a fab arty coffee table type book? That's my usual cop out with my brother. Is she arty at all?

very arty and extramely farty!

any suggestions peaches, have amazon ready and waiting.

Oh crikey now the pressure's on.... errrmmmm....

I have to say I'm not very au fait with the latest publications!!! Brother seemed to enjoy:

• Bizarre little book by David Shrigley (v curious little cartoons)
• Banksy's book - extremely thought provoking and fab quote on the back from the Metropolitan police....
• I was very entertained by "Boring Postcards" but maybe that's just me...

Or something more traditional? If there's an art exhibition she's particularly enjoyed of late, than maybe the gallery has an exhibition catalogue you can sometimes get online.

Before you mentioned books I was looking at the Goddess guide

ooh the Dvaid Shrigley postcards will appeal

Ooooh, beautiful cover on the Goddess Guide, I love that. Contents are a bit girly for me but I'm not your high maintenance friend and it does sound quite classy. Could be a goer?

I am now looking at evil thoughts and am very tempted.

Have you ordered? ?

Will it be delivered in time?

I have ordered both!

One for her and one for me, have not decided which book is for whom though!
