What do you get a friend for a 20th birthday who has everything?

I think you should leave the sex and personal pressies to her boyfriend , which clearly isn't you ! .. Buy her a few drinks on her b'day night out or something and focus your attention onto single ladies

She is a single lady though; there's only one of her :p
 
If she is a very very good friend then jewellery would be good (but only if you know what she likes). A framed photo of something as already suggested by Lostkat - not a picture of yourselves. She may have a lot of stuff but at 20 years old I bet she doesn't have everything. Just have a browse about looking at cool stuff that doesn't even necessarily have a function. If I knew more about her I would try and make more suggestions. My favourite is always places like Mathmos - yes I know lots of people say wtf why would I buy a girl a lamp - you are buying a really funky cool thing that just happens to be a lamp.

A hint to all the guys here - rampant rabbit as a gift is a really bad idea! Think of it this way - your girlfriend/friend with all good intentions buys you a new gfx card/something for modding your car without asking you first. Whilst the sentiment was nice chances are it might well be not the one you wanted, something you already have a better version of, or plain and simple didn't want one anyway.

Another thought... does she have a favourite set of beauty products (e.g. clinique, dior), they do some lovely sets and can be the sort of thing you would like to buy yourself but don't.

Raymond, do you have any male friends?

I worry about you, you'll turn into a girl eventually!

You know, i thought about that the other day. I somehow manage to go through an entire weekend without having any interaction with any male species. But on my course at uni in the day i hang out with the lads (in a class that is 95% female...hint to any guys want to do a course full of girls? Do Law !). But after lectures I only know girls as friends, it kinda turned out that way as the lads i knew last year have all either dropped out or changed uni, i was the only one who studied hard and they flunked so now only have girls as friends. It just turned out that way (hey, i am not complaining !). As for turning into a girl...I don't worry about that, I am still on the look out for potential gf outside the circle of friends.

As for ideas, I think the photo one is best, get her a nice frame and put some photo montage of her and friends on it. I'll leave the flowers and teddies to her boyfriend.

p.s. I have gotten a girl a vibrator because, and it wasn't for any special occasions, was a joke and it was a really cheap one off the net. She did find it harlious and i knew she would.
 
If someone has everything, get them nothing. You'll be guaranteed no one else will steal your present idea.

:D I know they're great. Now you can get me one too?? :p I have been looking at them for while now but haven't ordered one becuse I can't decide which one I like most! Flask shaped airswitch..... no, the aduki..... no, the tuba....... no, solar eclipse........ no, lunar eclip....... bah decisions decisions, you get the idea. Will order one just as soon as I have made a choice :)
 
Gift vouchers from one ofher favorite stores in town isn't a bad idea, you might not know what to get her, but she would know what to get.

I got the flask version, the red letter ones are out of stock so got a standard plain one. Going to keep this one myself i think to test how easy it is to operate, it could be incredibly tedious comparied to a switch. If i find it ok after a week's trial i'll get her one of those smaller air lamps, i don't think the Flask is her design at all.
