Help 17 Yr birthday of daughter in a few days - what to get??

[HolyMolars]

What should I get for a spoiled 17 year old - she wants driving lessons but has not sorted her provisional licence yet... and I want something to wrap. But she has more than any child needs, frankly, IMHO! But less than most of her friends according to her, IYKWIM!

A nice piece of jewellery from the antique shop?

So hard to know what her tastes are tho, but thanks. Offered cooling course but she sneered! And it was at Leiths!

Kindle in a fancy case?

I usually do a main present (in your case the driving lessons) and then a 'bag of bits'.

Made up of maybe some nice make-up (benefit, bobbi brown, nars etc) dvds/wii games, perfume, books, a piece of clothing, couple of accessories and some posh chocs.

Or what about buying her a special dress or outfit from somewhere like Reiss/Whistles/ French Connection, just something she might consider special as opposed to usual clothes purchases?

What about a Pandora bracelet? Or is that not a big enough present? What about a spa weekend for you and her?

Give her a voucher for the lessons? It is hard to choose something as at that age they often like to choose themselves - could she give you a list of smaller things she would like and then you can surprise her with a selection. I did this at Xmas and got my DD some MAC brushes she particularly wanted, some perfume (that I would not have chosen) and some books etc.

take her for a shopping or pamper afternoon and buy something en route that she liked or a product she liked at the pamper. I sometimes go up to London and we do this and maybe go for a meal and take in a show and get a late train home.

All sound great - I am forgetting that I did manage to get her tickets for the upcoming Jessie J concert!! (Mumsy scores many brownie points!) So anything wrappable will have too be small (in value I mean) althought the tickets were incredibly reasonable!
BTW, as you all worked out, it was a cooking course that I was considering not a cooling course. I don't think she would need the Cooling one!!
