    So lads, I had a quick search around for other threads like this and didn't find anything.

    I'm a little stuck for ideas as she basically doesn't want anything apart from 2 things her mom has already bought her, so I said I'll ask here and see if anyone else is in the same situation or if anyone has some genius ideas!

    agreed on a limit of 75ish as the pair of us are broke at the moment! Also a weekend away is out of the question we're both a bit too busy :/

    Maybe a voucher for a spa, most women like a bit of pampering:)

    She has enough perfume to fill a bathtub anyway... might take a look into the spa idea alright. I'd get jewellery only I got her some for her birthday which was recent enough! Doesn't want any boxsets/books etc. that are out yet. She doesn't really buy much, we're both fairly impoverished students!
    Having been out shopping with her the odd time it's safe to say I'd have NO idea whether or not she'd like something if I were to try and get clothes/shoes etc. and I don't like the idea of a voucher, it's a bit half arsed in my opinion.

Lots of v good but cheap ones out there now...practical for nights out /weddings/birthdays etc....or a handbag?....if she has a smart phone, what about a decent mini speaker to play her songs ....if that's too practical, then to a mix of small practical presents with some girlie stuff....where does she get her hair done? ...voucher for there would be really appreciated...then get her something small for the day like the mini speaker?

    Nice bits in Boots you can personalise with pictures, pens, tree decorations etc.

    Boots have a great Soap and Glory set on sale this week for 30 quid that's normally 80 and has loads of nice things in it, also check out lush for lovely stuff!

    Forever 21 has cheap but cute jewellery if you didn't want to invest in something more expensive if you're not sure what she wants

    Cool Moleskin Diaries for passions as well if she loves films, books etc.
