Gift for 30th b'day ... female lives with folks & is fussy !!! ... IDEAS PLEASE ??

[spooky]

What about something that is from your local area? Some local product/produce etc that would be hard to find in Melb?

[smiles4u]

ah, Spooky you must have esp as would you believe it last Xmas we gave the entire family to share a massive hamper of all local country products near where we live & surrounding towns, products like wines, salad dressings, chocolates, lavender, etc ... and it was the 1st gift i ever gave them that they appeared to love it infact they dropped a huge hint they would love it each Xmas

... how terrible am i can't remember if my friend wears silver or gold (i think silver but i don't want to take the risk) ... Skye thanks for the pandora idea !!

I would of just said alcohol.

I got 4 bottles of malibu for my 30th - shame I've been pregnant for most of the time since then.. LOL

Ooh, I'm not far from Box Hill (I'm in Forest Hill), we would have almost have been neighbours once when you were in Blackburn!

The family sound lovely, I hope you have a great night

[smiles4u]

... Wow, i remember Forest Hill Chase S/C well

Thanks heaps Trish ... yeh, i always have a brilliant time with them there

Hmmm tough one - I always find it hard when people have everything. Go to Dan's and see if they have any of the good stuff on special. Maybe team it with a small box of nice chocolates (Koko Black in the CBD are great if you are in Melb on Friday).

Well, i headed into good ol' Dan M's today and i asked where there half size bottles of Moet are ... (they are in the cabinet area near the counter if any of you want to know) ... and the sales lady said she had just one left as someone had only come in today and purchased a heap of them for pressies ...

Anyway, it is $22.95 for the regular Moet Chandon or the Rose one is $27.95, both 200ml bottle in a nicely presented box

... So a million THANKS to member " Winter " for her brilliant suggestion as i think i'm onto something here, looking like a few Xmas pressies on the horizon, LOL

Hey, Nai i was thinking to get the chocies (nice but not too expensive) but was in BigW of all places (it's near Dan Murphy's here as you prob know) & they have the most gorgeously presented body wash (frag is sweet mandarine & grapefriut) in a gold sequins sparkly zipped up gift bag with a beautiful gold ribbon, made in England was only $9.98 and looks darn expensive ... so i took off one of the tags on the bag that in small print mentions made for BigW BUT otherwise even the most serious snob wouldn't know

Then bought a black velvet detail embossed gift box from the cheap shop ' Spoils ' for $3.50 & a roll of gold satin ribbon to tie on the outside ... will get some cheap gold foil to pad the inside the box with too !!

... THANKS FOR HELPING EVERYONE
