thank you gift ideas....

Hiya guys and gals.

A very good friend of mine has done me so many favours these last few weeks while my son had his operation (sorting out the pets, collecting and delivering my daughter to school - way out of her way, popping to the shops while we were housebound etc).

I want something really nice to give as a thankyou. She always has fresh flowers in her home, so that seems a little pointless. She is a non smoker otherwise i would have bought her a riva lol. She does like chocolate (well how many women dont?), but a box of roses just doesnt seem to cut it.

Any suggestions up to about £25 ish, for a nice gift. Nothing to OTT, and nothing to quirky.

Ta!

Hows about some lovely Lush soaps etc.

Darn, you beat me to it, Chrissie. I was just going to say, from the number of fans in the Lush thread it would seem a no-brainer. I expect you get more bang for your bucks than with L'Occitane.

They're doing a Mother's Day hat-box for £26, don't know about P&P.

Going to have to get you trying some Lush soap at least Scylla I bought some for my mum as part of her Christmas present. Bless her, she said it smells too good to use so she has put in a drawer to scent her clothes & keeps taking it out to sniff it as she loves the scent so much. Hoping I've got round the problem by sending her a load more for mothers day

I put soap wrappers in drawers and currently have a bar of Chanel soap there wot my stepmum gave me, too expensive to use

Using Jason pump pot at the mo, supposed to be tea tree but smells like hyacinth/jasmine/lilac kinda ??? I think an eBayer had one over on me
