    Help me!!! Pressie advice

    HELP! I've got my wife the presents that she actually asked me for, but she's expecting a little surprise gift (not unreasonably, I suppose). I'm completely stumped as to what to get her though, if anyone has any suggestions for a nice (but not too expensive, we're poor) gift then I'd appreciate it. You've got until lunchtime.

    TIA

    Compact Mirror, Compact Perfume Bottle, some other makeup accessories - take a dive in debenhams/selfridges/whatever

    For the younger lady try the following parfume:
    Cool Water for women

    For the more mature try :
    Channel Crystel parfume


    Further thought - Classic Comedy on DVD - Brittas empire, open all hours, only fools and horses, etc etc etc...

    Perhaps Jewelry? Ring? Necklace with precious stones in.

    LOL where's the twister duvet set from?

    I've already got her some DVDs, I could get her perfume I suppose, but it's expensive and there's the risk she won't like it much. I could get her one of those YSL eye stick thingies I suppose.....

    Theo do you mean a day at a spa? Bit out of my price range....a day at the leisure centre, maybe!

    Make over or hair do day?

    With parfume, you could always take the risk. Eau De Toilet on average costs about £30. A matching compact set (Mirror, Parfume Bottle, case thingy)costs about £15-£20 at house of fraser.

    my bf got his mum (on my recommendation) a facial.

    they're really reasonably priced (between £15 - 20) and she'll appreciate it

    I got my mum a manicure and pedicure for around £25 for her birthday and she loved it.

    Just pop along to your local reputable beauty salon and ask for a gift voucher for however much you can afford and she can have whatever she wants done for that amount! it's a great alternative to the more expensive day spy thing.

    It's £40 for a day spa for one, at a few places around england. Just go into the Gadget Shop and ask them about it.

    Thanks for the suggestions all, I'm off in a mo, wish me luck.

    or, since said lacy underwear/nightwear will probably get ripped off in mad passionate moment...(!), perhaps some 'commando underwear'. which completely removes the issue of undies altogether thus allowing you to get straight to business...
