Gift Ideas (help needed quite desperately!)

[fozter]

Basically, one of my best mates is jetting off to canada at the end of august to live there, and I'd really like to get her something nice before she leaves.

Now I've thought aout making a picture album and other stuff, but it really had to be as small as possible due to how much luggage she'd be taking. Money boundaries are probably up to £100, although the cheaper the better I suppose as I'm unemployed as of tomorrow

I've been racking my head for months, since she told me about moving really, and so far had no luck. So any input will be greatly appriciated!!

OCUK, help!

Picture album is a great idea. If luggage space is a massive issue, what about building a nice online gallery website?

If space is an issue how about a really nice expensive scarf (+ matching gloves?) to keep her warm out there? It'll be pretty, easy to pack and useful. Plus every time she wears it she'll think of you, awww

Lumberjack shirt.

Or do a poster that you could roll up to fit in her suitcase.

Edit- Also gets to use it to decorate her new place.

Purse/wallet with Canadian Dollars. Not original, but just in case you hadn't thought of it!

Edit: Stick in some UK money too (small amount like £5) and say she has to come back to the UK at some point to spend it

With current inflation rates by the time she gets back they won't even let her in the convenience bogs for that.

Canada is cold.

Ooooh that's a very good idea, I may do that when my friend heads off to Oz

My fiancee got me a brilliant pressie a while ago. She got me a ring with the lyrics to my fav song of all time (Pink Floyd - Learning to Fly) stamped into it. Find out what hers is and get a ring maker to make her one then give it to her on a silver chain.
