Sheefa Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hi, Haven't been seeing this girl for long, but she is brilliant and is really making me happy, especially with everything going on right now. She's a little older than me, Irish, beautiful and just so much fun to be around. She's just come out of a long-term relationship, well marraige actually, divorced only recently. Things are going well between us and already I've fallen for her. Timing is not easy.....anyway, what am I writing about! Any ideas about a 30th Birthday present guys? Budget is about £100 - £150 and would like something new, different but something that lets her know she means a lot to me. Desperate for help. Like most blokes I'm crap at this sort of thing|!! Thanks Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garetheves Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I know it's jewelry and that may be seen as a bit of a cop-out but i really like the Thomas Sabo charm collection. Bought my ex and my current girlfriend stuff from him and both times has gone down a treat. It also has the advantage that its easy to add to the collection at little cost so perfect for those other occasions when you need to get her "a little something" (surprise presents, begging for forgiveness etc). For £100-£150 you could get her 1 or 2 really nice bracelets (the pearl effect one and a plain charm bracelet for example) plus 3-4 really nice charms. That way she can mix and match them as she wants. http://www.thomassabo.com/en/start.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 What's she into (apart from you )? Pamper day/weekend at a posh pamper-type place. Meal and theatre in London? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyP Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 How about this? Top end of your price range but looks fantastic (photo doesn't do it justice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Lynz_ Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Totally copying Tony but a girl I work with has this one http://www.swarovski.com/product/Circle+Bracelet/Web_GB/en?CategoryName=0104027&ProductPage=1 and it is so lovely on doesn't look much on the internet but is really nice. Otherwise how about an Ipod if she hasn't got one and try and find out what music she likes and put it on for her? Glad to hear things are going well for you.

I like the way you've bought it for an ex and current girlfriend, recycle presents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 What about a weekend break for her to a spa.... dont know the cost.... Or a ferrari track day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Or a ferrari track day Yup, that is the same way it works in my house, Mel got an NA for her 30th, and a track day for her 33rd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkR Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I'd get her and a friend a day at a health spa with massages etc. Girls love that sort of stuff and if she's with a friend it'll be better than just her on her own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supragal Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Not all girls. Indeed. Got a hen weekend coming up and it looks like we're going for a spa weekend. WEEKEND? What the hell do you do for a weekend? I did actually ask that and apparently you sit around in dressing gowns?? *yawn* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup it's 250 or 300 quid or something. I can't really afford it but it's my best mate in the whole world so I can't not go. Plus I'm not going to the wedding so I have to.

Supragal Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Thinking about it, I have a white gold diamond bracelet that I'm going to sell, you could have that for £200 I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
