[MascaraOHara]

I have to arrange a gift, looking to spend arount £100 on something they can keep..

any ideas?

thank you will look now..

did I sound as desperate as I am lol

I got my god-daughter a lovely painting from an on-line shop - cant remember the name - if you are interested let me know and I wil try and look out receipt. They painted a picture which was personalised to include the babies birth details. For my god-daughter it was a house, I think, and the clock on the front had her time of birth, it showed the date, and small items in the picture had names etc of god-parents. For boys it was a train, with babies name, station clock at time of birth etc, notices with his place of birth, you get the idea

Was lovely and nice to give something personal - if I remember they werent too babyish either.

that sounds nice but don't know all the details I would need. I am a shite friend.

You are not - hard to think of something under pressure - if you werent looking you would see loads of lovely stuff!! Another nice idea is a nice book - maybe first edition of a traditional childs book. Nice for them to keep, and could increase in value one day?

Elsa Perretti silver spoon from Asprey & Garrard? The ones we've been given are quite classic and not covered with bears or alphabets.

1st edition or beautifully bound books are good. DH gave 'a little touch of Harry in the night' to his nephew of the same name (obviously not a first edition!).

A very nice bottle of something from Berry Brothers & Rudd - my DS has some port they are storing for him (his Godfather obviously felt our own cellar was too risky).

Nice blanket or doll?

jura - er, good question . Now you mention it, I don't remember documents - I don't remember what it was either . I'll have to ask his godfather. I'm sure BBR won't laugh if you ask and I bet they do keep good records.

thanks for the suggestions.. I will continue my search this tomorrow.
