    Watch - would lose it
    Trip somewhere nice - good idea, but a bit out of budget
    Collage of photos of family - family is split and she blames me, so maybe not a good idea

    Budget about £100 - did the spend-lots-of-money thing for her 18th (including meal at the Hand & Flowers in Marlow - awesome experience, got tour of kitchen, previous MasterChef winner was working in there!)
    It was Bacchus Minimus's 21st this week, got him a very nice St Christopher's medal. This one was quite unusual and considerably more than £100 but they come at all budgets and you could probably get something quite nice around that level esp if you stuck with silver.

    I wanted to get something he could keep memories and travel are all very well but they will meld into a blurry fog in fifty years time... (and the lucky bugger got a nice watch for his 18th and his minted mum has his rolex in a safety deposit somewhere...)

    (PS, also a fan of the H and F in Marlow, used to be my manor)

    How about those manicure pedicure things? I dont know much about them but girls spend a lot of time on nails.
    Why use SC if you have kik, which means you can easily save those pictures and videos?

    Apparently.
