It would appear so darling. Remind me again how old your sister is - I lose track of all you kids you know! Mummy

A gold charm that could be used for a bracelet? A portrait with a photrapher? Send a limo to pick her up from work?

The best pressie I got for my 21st was a big wicker basket packed full to the top with pampering stuff! I had everything from cotton buds to face masks in it!! As I love my bath smellies it was the perfect gift! Bev

Why does she turn her nose up at your presents? What do you normally give her, manure? Mummy

Get nothing, but tell her you thought about it. After all, it IS the thought that counts ......... 'Nothing Constructive' Glenys x

For my other daughter's 18th we bought her 18 presents. We did the same for my sister in law's 40th and my Grandad's 90th - the last one took two and a half hours to get through and my little nephew said 'couldn't we have just given him one enormous present'! All the pressies were inexpensive and fun/practical except for the last one which was the main present. For my mum's 70th we gave her 7 special ones - one for each decade. None of that probably helps but it was fun to do and all of them were really chuffed. Mummy

Thanks people! I always try to get her different presents but she doesn't usually appreciate them. She's introvert, quiet, quite girlie, very sensitive... opposite of me I suppose! lol becx
