That link is really long
My friend loves orange and loves cross shoulder bags. I saw this linked on a different thread and am very tempted to buy it for her xmas present, or birthday but that is December too
DH thinks I am nuts and it will be reduced at the end of the season
It looks a good buy to me

Yes, I would normally spend about 100 on her
She is on her own and buys for me, dh and dc so I like to spoil her

Why are you thinking about buying a birthday present for December in February? Yes, I would wait to see if you can get something similar in one of the mid season sales or you might find something nicer for cheaper

NOTHS occasionally have sales but normally only 10% off or so

I think you should buy it now and give it to her now, just because.

If you wait til December, she will have fewer opportunities to wear it and I think that's quite a SS2014 kind of bag what do I know but generally as well, I think now is a nice time to have a bright pop of colour like that
