Something that goes buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Pandoro bracelet is all my other half is going on about, basically a modern charm bracelet, makes buying for all other occasions dead easy until they come up with something else!!
something for her not for you.
? budget
I find that boots/perfume of choice/clothes go down well.
high budget - diamonds are always well received
day at a girlie heath spa /massage are hits also
white good are a no no
Rob, do you know anything at all about the person you are trying to buy a present for?
It would help us all out if you told us at least something about her age, interests or hobbies. If you know nothing about her (if you are doing something secret santa for example), something scented for the bath is traditional or a gift voucher for John Lewis, Boots etc.
I have a Pandora bracelet and a few beads hidden away for Mrs Feet and shall be taking the kids along to the jewellers to pick out some more beads
In my considerable experience, anything which cost you more money than you could possibly have imagined spending on something almost entirely useless is in the right ballpark. Try spending a three figure sum on a special wallet to hold her bus-pass, say, or the better part of a month's wages on a scarf. That kind of thing. Girls love that stuff. 🙂
This is nice, too:

Midnighthour: it's a young lady i'm very close to and attempting to get closer to 😉
She's 26, likes fashion, films, indie/rock music amongst others. Not an MTB fan unfortunately....not yet anyway 😀
takisawa2: tee hee, but she's already got one of them 8)
Tickets to a music event as a surprise.
Take her to someplace she can dress up - meal, theatre
Day trip or weekend to some city (maybe include voucher for her favorite fashion or music shop?).
Take a look though the web sites for those 'special event / red letter days' for ideas.
Listen to what she mentions a lot and buy something related to it or something she has pointed out as 'nice'. Lots of people inadvertently give 'gift clues' all year round. Try to remember them as they are useful bits of info to have!
Take her on a road based bike ride as many people find that less intimidating than off road - maybe bike to a birthday treat or event.
Jewellery is always good and has a big price range.
All I can think of right now.
If you are any good at hobbies, you could make her something, even if its just a christmas card. Evidence of significan personal effort in obtaining or making a gift always looks good.
Coming from a girlie point of view I think jewllery is often a winner. Have a look at what she wears .. ie silver or jold and go for a nice bracelet or some earrings!
Underwear ... but maybe you aren't that close to her YET!!!!!
I think an evening out is good ... theatre tickets for the two of your something like that.
New handbag.... harder to buy I guess and depends on budget.
Unfortunately I'm always up for ANYTHING MTB related! Body armour one year, bike this year for the big b'day!!!
A pair of leather gloves from this website...MrFC bought me a pair last year and they are gorgeous!

A scarf to compliment the gloves...there are loads in the shops at the moment!
A simple but beautiful pair of earrings.
A body lotion that goes with her favourite perfume.
Cashmere socks.
Something from here...

A Chanel nail varnish...just choose a colour you like...they are so beautifully packaged, she won't care what colour it is!
Me, expensive tastes?...no idea what you are talking about!! 8)
Being a girl I think Foxie Chick has some great ideas! I've even got my eyes on the nice leather make up case ..... I see a flaw there though! I don't wear make up! Oh well back to the body armour.
Cheers guys and gals...plenty to go on there, better start saving up!

£30 on a fashion pencil case? i mean cosmetics bag..
need more good foxy chick shopping links 🙂
Bottle of gin and then go out for a bike ride.......in a santa hat
Sorry but this is singletrack world after all.
FoxyChick is, as I suspected, a lady of impeccable taste.
If you feel brave, why not try Agent Provacateur or Myla. Be warned, however, buying skimpies isn't the easiest thing to get right.
.............and Agent Provacateur are very skimpy!!!

Is that a bad thing? 😉
Oh, and worthless without pics, etc, of course.
+ huge embarrassment when you get the size wrong LOL

I think Cap't Flash likes pics of everyfink! 😉
How about a puppy? Always good value.
thejesmonddingo, AP have a rather clever thing that allows you to log the right sixe for your lady or ladies of choice on their system, meaning that once you've got it right once, you get it right again!
Smoooooooth. Oh, and the private boudoir changing room downstairs in the one just off Sloane Street is a fine spot! 🙂
Teagirl, a pic of puppies perhaps..... 🙂
CFH,I don't get the impression the OP has got close enough to measure yet,sorry in advance if I'm wrong tee hee.

Cap't Flash, if I knew how to upload an image I would. Sadly..... 🙁
