     Topic: Bday present ideas for sister     Posted: 22 January 2011 at 10:13am | 
 
 
  
   
   
   My sisters 30th birthday is coming up and Im wanting to do something more special than normal.
 Im happy to spend up to $80-$100 and have two other siblings that will put in the same. 
 Had thought of maybe a spa gift voucher but unsure of a good spa (Waikato area).
 Any suggestions?

   Does she have a partner ? you could get her a voucher for a really fancy resturaunt or a night in a hotel, ,  a nice bracelet or neckalce that way its something she will always have . depending on what shes in to you could always get her an experience - hot air balloning , sky diving , bungee jumping, wine tasting etc etc . this link has some great ideas and also has a list of different pamper packages  http://www.redballoon.co.nz/central-north-island/waikato

   I got a Pandora bracelet for my 30th (which seems so very long ago now    ) from family with a couple of beads that mean things to me.  I thought it was a great gift as its something I can keep adding to and something I will have forever

   For the beauty therapy, if you have time check out  Grab One, Daily Do and  1 Day Out each day for their daily specials. For xmas we got MIL a $100 beauty therapy voucher for $50 off one of the sites!

   Thanks for the ideas ladies. 
 We have ended up getting vouchers for a full body massage, mini manicure and mini pedicure, and will get her some jewelery as well

   If you are getting jewelery I would second the suggestion of Pandora, I have 3 bracelets now and it's really easy when birthdays/xmas comes around because I can just ask family for charms for my bracelets!  (I only have that many because SIL worked in the jewelers and could get them cheaper lol)

   I would jump on the pandora bandwagon (or would that be push her on...) but shes not into them 
 
ETA plus my other sister is organising that part, so all sorted from my end - yay!! 
 Dec/Jan/Feb birthdays are so annoying - far too close to xmas

   My twin sister got me a pandora bracelet for my 30th last year. Funnily enough I had gotten her the same
