An eyeshadow palette? Jewellery is too personal to know whether she’ll wear it imo.

Piece jewellery by a local jeweller? We have some great artist near us who make silver jewellery at that price point

I would either ask her what she wanted or give her £50, otherwise the ‘wow’ might be, ‘wow, I really don’t like that and wish you’d asked me what I liked!’

If your thinking jewellery then warren james has some nice pieces. Or try TK Maxx for a nice bag or purse xx

If she likes makeup chanel do a handbag pocket mirror for £35 . So something within budget but a special keepsake .

Bohomoon has really nice stainless steel jewelry that doesn't tarnish. I have a pair of huggie hoops from them that I never take out and they look like new still! Also it's a trending brand on social media. If she's into that kind of thing like some teens are. They quite often do sales too.

Dior lipgloss. Free personalisation on their website. Items come in beautiful packaging. I think they’re around £36. Then a bottle of whispering angel.

I love dior lip gloss 😍. Definitely need to try the whispering angel, never heard of it, but then i haven't been looking for a rose wine to drink for a long time.

I would, if you can scrape a wee bit more get a carolina herrera mini lip balm with bangle and 1 charm (cousin can get the refills when its done and add more charms). It is 30 over the budget but its honestly fab, I have the lip gloss, lipstick and lip balm but only the one bangle with a load of charms I add to when im getting a refill.

It will last her years. ❤️
