Budget is £500.
She is feminine but not girly.
I've asked what she would like but she could only think of Stellar pans Shock

I would like to buy something she can keep but use regularly iykwim

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I'm a bit late with my message and you've had lots of great suggestions, but I thought I would share with you what we've bought for our dd18 on Friday. We've paid for a room in a hotel in Paris for our dd and 4 of her friends. They have paid for the journey (£42, by coach) . My daughter and friends are SO excited. My daughter said "memories are better than a keepsake". ( We've bought her a Michael Cors watch too - couldn't help spoiling her as she's so fantastic.)lol

Hmm if she wants the pans is she a lover of food? Pay for her and someone else to go to a Michelin Star Restaurant?

Ooh Summers is a great idea!!

Also think jewellery would be a good way to go. Something like this personalised name necklace perhaps?

Nice Armani watch or a diamond single stone on a necklace.
