relaxing weekend away?? offer to babysit and have the little one for the weekend, pack her off to a lovely little hotel for the night, complete with pamper/spa package.
:idea: alternatively, offer yourself as child-sitter, take the child out for the day while mum gets some space to herself to shop, mooch around or have lunch with friends...maybe a manicure/facial/new hair doo??? and if there's any change left, fill her bathroom with some gorgeously smelly bath stuff from Lush, chill her a bottle of non-alcoholic wine and wish her a very relaxing happy birthday! biggrin

Does she like jewellery, handbags, perfume, shoes???????
How about a Burberry or Gucci handbag?
Expensive perfume... Dior, YSL.......
A piece of jewellery..... diamond earrings perhaps....
She'll adore whatever you give her.... you're her brother.....

I'd go for the spa break (they do, do day breaks) and offer to have the kids. You could always get it as a voucher then she can book to go when she wants.
Pay for a meal/drinks at a swish hotel for her and significant other/friend and offer to babysit.
ipod.......so she can drown the noise of the kids out
a bottle of champers and flowers delivered (drink for after the birth!!!!).
A voucher for a helicopter flight, to fly a plane (if she likes that sort of thing).
Concert/theatre tickets

6 Sep 2005

if shes preggers and got one already... how about the 100quid as money always come in handy with kids around! lol

If you want it to be spent on her then I second the spa treatment thing, very relaxing.
Good luck and let us know what you decide on!

I dunno if its just me, but I like to pick my own jewellery - plenty of brand new or vintage/second hand on ebay, will give her plenty of choice, with probably a little left over to get something for the baby/older child too :D even setting up the ebay account could be part of the present (if not already got one)- your sis might appreciate the bargains once the baby arrives!

OK I am Male, but for special people I like to find a present that they will use everyday. Sue already had the MP3 player (which is where I assume the idea came from) and it lives in her handbag.
To add weight to the PDA idea, they have the advantage of loads of games available to while away those happy hours waiting. You can also by e-books to read from the screen.
Now some other ideas:
How about a decent digital camera, to record pics of the new arrival? Prices have dropped a lot and you can get some decent cameras in that price range.
A portable DVD player + screen and some girly DVD's for when she is stuck in hospital
Or somthing from one of my favourite little shopping sites, I will PM you the address.
