Hi! Any ideas what to get a female friend for her 30th B'day!? I'm stumped! It was her b'day back in April during my hen weekend and I bought her a nice bottle of wine but she is now celebrating it in July (she's very busy!!!) and I would like to get her something nice! Nothing too expensive but something thoughtful, trouble is I am AWFUL at thinking of really nice thoughtful gifts! OH has to write me a list whereas he remembers things I've mentioned from months back! She's just moved into her first house with her OH but I'd rather get something for her than her home!

Any help much appreciated! Thanking you! x

    What about a Thomas Sabo charm bracelet? The bracelets themselves are about £15 - £25 however charms are a wee bit more. You could get her her birthday stone/ initial of her name?

    OR spa vouchers (seems to be a recurring suggestion for me) or vouchers for her favourite restaurant? Lastminute.com also do experience days that look good.

    Hopefully someone will be along soon with better suggestions! x

    Hey lady! Tell us a bit more about her - hobbies, interests, favourite music, any kids etc. - that will help us to come up with some more personal ideas. I'm way better at buying boys' 30th presents than girls, but then rubbish at every day presents for boys.... ?

    How about vouchers for a local beauty salon so she can go chill out and have her nails/hair/tan done?

    i like those terracota money pots as well, (i have 2) but i dont use them as i dont ever want to have to smash them to get to the cash!!!

    if you are looking for something personalised www.gettingpersonal.co.uk

    has some really cool stuff, my friend got me a personalised X-Factor calender last year, i was soooo chuffed!!!

    I think it is great if you give her authentic bags, dresses, perfumes or what you think that she'll love for it.
