21st birthday present ideas

I'm going to a big family 21st birthday party soon and I'm stumped about what to buy as a present, as my default bottle of champagne wouldn't be appropriate. The birthday girl has severe learning difficulties and will be living at home with her mum & dad for the foreseeable future. She's a homebird and loves cuddly toys and fleece blankets. Any ideas before I just go to Lush & buy a big box of smellies? I want to spend £20 - £30.

Ask her mum, otherwise buy cuddly toys and fleece blankets. There may be a particular sort she prefers, a certain type of 'feel' All fleece is not similar to touch, some cheap fleece smells like chemicals, some are like a flexible felt, plush fleece is like fur.
Soft toys also have different textures and squishiness, she may prefer one particular type.

Unless you already know different, it's possible she wouldn't like the smellies depending on any sensory issues she has, so as you're wanting to buy her something she'd like, always check with Mum.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. The sensory issue thing is what worries me, as I don't want to buy something she will be disappointed with.
