I would like to know what to give a friend as a Christmas gift who owns a gift shop. It is very difficult to think of something when she sells lots of Christmas gifts. Any ideas would be welcome but please take into consideration it must be light and preferably unbreakable as I have to mail it to her.

How about buying something and getting it inscribed (making it very personal) eg like a keyring or something I have thought about for my writer want to be husband, a leatherbound book with his initials inscribed on the leather?

Hi Angel
Thank you for your suggestion but they are not suitable for my friend so will think of something else.

Music, DVD, Gold Class movie, or High Tea Vouchers are definitely the way to go or you could organise a dinner for two at her favourite restaurant googling and paying for it via the restaurant online or you could do the same at her salon to have her hair done.
Whatever your decision, your friend will appreciate you have planned a well thought out gift.

Hi Beanie
Thank you for the suggestion but my friend lives far away and I and i cannot travel as i am carer for my sick husband. Don't have a current photo of us so will have to think of something else.

How about a voucher that you made yourself for a "date" to catch up over a wine and a platter of fruit and cheese at either your place or hers if she lives in the same country/state. Or have you got a lovely photo of the two of you that you could put in a lovely frame?

Hi mermaid, thank you for your gift ideas but I want to give my friend something really personal for her to keep.

Hi not perfect, that is a great idea but my friend already has regular massages given by a friend.
