Memories Issy

Book her a weekend away, or tickets to a show or concert that she might like. Then get her a new camera so she can take lots of pictures and have a permanent reminder of her 21st.

Issy, you could check out" www.a1gifts.co.uk" or "www.gettingpersonal.co.uk" for more unusual and personalised gifts.
Naming a star after the person, and Then & Now photoframes are a couple of ideas.

Hi Rexi

I got her a theatre trip and dinner for two for Christmas.

But a weekend away might be worth thinking about...

Oh a star naming- that sounds different and I think she would like that.

Thanks Yogi.I will also check out the website.

You're welcome Issy, I hope you find something.

I just had a look Yogi ... I like the mug printed with the newspaper front page of the day that you were born

there's quite a lot of stuff on here ..     21st bday gift ideas 


 I have been looking around at stuff for my daughters 18th...  

have decided to get her some bits delivered on the day (her bday is a school day, so she will be away from home) 

a balloon bouquet with a small bottle of champers

and

a cheesecake from the English Cheesecake company (she spends hours drooling  over the cakes on their website)

her main pressie is gonna be the iPhone...   so like you I am just looking for a few bits n bobs that are a bit more personal than the technology.

Hi Ditty

Yes thats what I want to do - I am not with her on the actual day cos she is at Uni so I figured I would send her a few bits as well.
A balloon bouquet has to be a must - her Dad is going to send her some flowers as well. Its good to get stuff in the post.

Yeah..    last year I sent her a single helium balloon with a little Me to You Bumble Bee teddy thing.

She was delighted!  

A 21 year old bloke    

LOL

She has one

Maybe a spare?

I would go with a camera, so she can make her own memories. Or...what about one of those photo shoots where they glam you up....full hair and  make up job...and you have the photo forever

Quality auction lot - perfume bottle/jewellery box/trinket box....something to cherish 

Bottle of wine from her birth year?  Not much good if she prefers Wkd right enough.

That actually isn't a bad idea - I am pleased to say she is beginning to get a taste for wine so even if she doesn't drink it now, it will keep.
Any suggestions?

ohh another good idea!

Hello - how are you?

All a question of taste idiotdope. Each to their own and to hell with snobby pretentiousness  

Fine Issy 

Hope everything's okay with you too!   

How much d'you want to spend?

Oh god I hate that question - okay around about £50 ish???

Please don't laugh cos if it isn't enough I will go back to the drawing board...

Might be pushing it a little.  Could get a half of some decent claret for that.  TBH, thinking about it, I'd have been fairly non-plussed if my parents bought me summat like that at aged 21. 

I suppose I could get her a decent bottle of champagne ?

Back to the cashpoint Issy.  Get some Laurent Perriere  and treat her to a couple of bottles in a weekend spa 

That is something to work on Hobbes - I will have a think. Mind you she graduates in June - would that be more suitable for then?

Hobbes - I am on the website now.
The pink champagne is not out of the question...

What a great website - curse you

Thank you  x

Lordy, don't get her that shite.  Buy some Billecart-Salmon or Bollinger Grande Annee.  The 2000 of the latter is around at the moment and should be a laugh riot.

Tastes like cat pish!   IMHYCO  

Noooo

Not champagne wars

True, but it's Bolly Cat's Piss.  A higher class of micturition all round.

Actually, googling that to check the spelling - which I probably still got wrong - I came across this:

Post-micturition convulsion syndrome, also colloquially known as pee shivers, piss shivers, piss quiver, quiver shivers, the timely twitch, or the shiver shake, is a phenomenon in which one feels a shiver running down the spine following urination.^[1] The shiver can produce a brief twitch, which is a form of myoclonus. It should not be confused with micturition syncope, a feeling of faintness following passing urine.

To date, despite years of discussion and theorizing, there is no agreed-on explanation of the phenomenon^[2] and no medical research into it. However, it has been mentioned occasionally in columns, and in one Internet poll, where about 83% of males and 58% of females reported experiencing it. By 6 July 2007, more than 24,000 males and more than 1,200 females had responded to the poll on the syndrome.

 

 

Fancy, etc.

There will be no post micturition hanky panky on my thread

Judging by the state of some of my mate's loos I think some of them start their timely twitches a bit early.

Issy...   some of the balloon delivery sites allow you to send a small bottle of champagne with the balloon bouquet..
