Recipe of the week

penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

Present ideas for my 13 yo God-Daughter please!

(5 Posts)
Thanks!

In the end I went for this necklace, this bookand one of these!.
Or a box-set of lovely classics - Jane Austen maybe, or some poetry books?
vouchers for clothes store or i tunes or hmv - and a small piece of jewellery maybe a silver bracelet engraved "love from aunty!"
For the consumable - Topshop vouchers or some better quality makeup - Urban Decay v good. Or a 'nice' perfume: dd1 likes the Kate Moss one.

For something to keep - maybe a modern looking jewellery box or a decent quality purse?
She is intellectually sophisticated, wears make up and is quite girly. I don't have a huge budget (around £50) but I'd like to give her a couple of presents - I was thinking about something she can keep forever and something more instantly consumable. I want to give her something that reflects the fact she's growing up but I don't want to get it wrong, like my GM used to and end up buying something middle-aged rather than grown up!

The more I think about it the less I can decide and I'm now panicking which is making it worse!

What have you bought your girls, or what presents have they really loved at this age?

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
