Can you help me find a 21st gift for a discerning young lady?

DD2s best friend is about to turn 21 and i need to get her a gift. DD2 had her 21st recently and was given a Coach coin purse from her friends family and she loves it. I am guessing it maybe cost around £40/50? So something in that price range that would be seen as a bit luxe. Anyone seen anything good in the sales maybe? For her 18th i bought her a Longchamp make up bag which she loved to give you an idea of the type of thing. Thanks.

How about mon purse? You can get it monogrammed and in every colour imaginable!!! Very popular with the young things around here ...... (sorry not in uk but they do international shipping)
If not, MAC make up brushes (you'll have them for years) or the Tiffany perfume ? (It's still the little blue box?
Not a candle, much as they are lovely might be lost on a 21yr old ....

The Min Purse idea looks great. Will ask my DD if she thinks that would work although I fear she may steal the idea from me as she is struggling to think of a gift for her friend. There is a UK site so I would think delivery may be ok.

Zoeva or Morphe brushes are very good and there's a range of sets available in that price range. I'd probably go with those over CT.

@Noeuf Aaah, thank you - I missed the bit where the friends had received Coach Smile so I didn't understand. Got it now!!

Is Coach considered a bit passé now? Used to be ultra chic when I were young (30 years ago Blush).

I don't think so. My dd has a coin purse at Christmas and loved it.

Can I just add that if you do get anything from Mon Purse, their customer service is really good! I bought a present from them for my god-daughter and had a bit of a disaster with the postal system where I live (not UK) and they sorted it all out so well and proactively with no quibbles at all. Would definitely shop with them again. (And no I'm not connected to the company in any way in case you are wondering!)

Coach is still great but that's what my DD got from her friends family for her 21st so i won't copy that idea. But Mon Purse does look ideal.

After chatting with DD1 we agreed i should by her friend a Dipytque candle. She had actually been looking at them too along with Charlotte Tilsbury stuff and the small Mon Purse pouches so you guys were obviously all spot on with suggestions! Thank you.

Yay glad you're going with Diptyque - my favourite scent is Mimosa, so stunning and fresh!!
