Meaningful gift for a 40th/going away occasion
Just wondering if anyone's got any good ideas for a 40th present for a friend who will shortly be moving interstate. I want to give her something that is meaningful, but am totally out of the habit of shopping and I haven't got a clue where to start!
Ideas...please!

Depends on your budget but what about a piece of jewellery? Normally I would say lovely glass of some kind - vase, bowl or whatever - but if your friend is moving that might be more of a hassle for her.
For my 40th a friend gave me a beautiful Wedgewood tea cup and saucer. Ridiculously expensive, but its beautiful to drink out of and it reminds me of all the fun we'e had at high teas together.

Those are lovely suggestions, Lulu, thank you. Still contemplating...

How soon is she going? What about an experience type gift - like a high tea voucher or something like that?! So it will be a memory she has because she went with you or maybe a group of people could all go or something?
A print of the place she is moving from to remember it by?

It was only decided a few weeks ago and they're moving in a couple more weeks so it'll be pretty flatchat between now and then. Nice idea, wouldn't mind doing the high tea thing meself!

Pandora bracelet with one charm to start her off - something that has a sentimental meaning to it.

What about a favourite photo of the two of you in a really lovely frame?
That's the only idea I have so far, if I think of anything else I'll come back!
