I'm stuck!
Can anyone fire some ideas at me for a nice birthday present for my sister please.. She is turning 20 on Friday.
We are really close so i'd like to get something special or meaningful but I haven't really been able to come up with anything.
She lives in Perth but is here for Xmas, so it must be something she can easily take back on the plane with her.
I'm also on a budget as we are so close to Xmas, so the cheaper the better
Thanks in advance! x

How about a pandora braclet? You dont have to get the real pandora, you can get cheaper versions at Farmers, Warehouse, Pascoes etc.

What about a lovely pedicure or manicure? I see you live on the NS. I can highly recommend Pedman Spicer in Takapuna!

A set of birthstone earrings? A voucher for body piercing and a hand to hold when she gets it done?

Haha Flutterby classic!

Clothes are always a winner lol easy to pack in a suitcase and what 20 year old girl isn't clothes obsessed although maybe not as meaningful as your wanting haha but still a good back up plan.

What about a nice perfume. I can never justify buying it for myself but love it when it's gifted to me. You just have to know what kind of scent she likes.

Have a look at this article on The Herald website for some ideas...

ETA: This pendant designed by Boh Runga is pretty cool!

My teenaged sister is an awesome cook, so she often gets a recipe book from me, sometimes with the ingredients to make one of the more exotic recipes in it. My parents have a pretty limited palate, so cooking exotic recipes is great fun for her.

Jewellery is always a winner too. As are clothes if you can get her style and size right.

This year my sis is heading to uni, so she's getting a "uni starter pack" with maps of the campus and the new city, a set of shot glasses, some condoms , maybe a notes folder of sorts and seeing as I live in the town she's moving to, some vouchers for a few homecooked meals and maybe some laundry It's not a very expensive present but one she'll appreciate.
