I only have a £15 budget but would like to get something really nice so any ideas much appreciated.

It's for a 47 year old woman.

Thanks

I would always appreciate a pretty necklace.

I would buy some luxe chocolates (ie truffles from Godiva or Fortnum & Mason) or some tea or biscuits (again, Fortnum & Mason - their packaging is lovely). I would rather the best of something that wasn't ordinarily expensive than a cheap version of something that could be expensive IYKWIM.

St Tropez everyday face - gradual tan. Looks luxurious and everybody likes a 'glow'. Or, I like to buy friends the latest Chanel nail colour, get them to wrap it in chanel bag, looks like a mighty good pressie!

Excellent idea on the Chanel nail colour!!

bunnymother - that's exactly what I was thinking - would rather buy a small box of luxury chocs than a 2kg box of Milk Tray

Thanks wine- yes I think she would appreciate the nail colour too.

Just can't decide - how much are the Chanel colours, £15 exactly?

Chanel lipgloss, Les Scintilantes come in lovely flattering colours with a little sparkle and feel like a treat everytime you use it
