Littlesis turns 30 next weekend and I need to find her something wonderful for it.
Pls cans you halp brainstorm wid me m7s?
She has a 3 month old baby and is moving to her first house with her fiance in a couple of months which could provide present inspiration, but I'd prefer this gift to be just for her. Baby has been showered with gifts pre and post arrival and there will be gifts when they move.
Littlesis does not have expensive taste and she's not mega materialistic. Jewellery wise she only really wears necklaces and as a consequence has been gifted rather a lot so not sure that's the best bet.
Thoughts?

I am not materialistic either and I wouldn't like a spa day. They are for the girly girls, I'd rather be at a match or a concert. Some new mothers are not keen to leave such young ones for a day until they're a bit older. Perhaps something lovely for her in her new house? I'd ask, I think.

my dad got me whatever was close by in Duty Free for my 30th when he was coming over to visit me.. I got a pair of Irish linen pillowcases.. Dad was terrible at buying presents.
How about a voucher for a really expensive dinner at a top end restaurant

Home exercise equipment, to the extent she doesn't already have absolutely everything she might want on that front. (Yes, mothers need time to recover post-birth before they can do a lot of things most people would consider normal, like running. All the more reason to provide her with options.)

You havent mentioned a budget.
I think for that age a really, really good handbag is an excellent present. Not bling or designer if as you say Littlesis is not that way inclined, but something beautifully made, soft leather, classic rather than fashionable that will last for years and years. It won’t be cheap of course!

Budget wise... I don't know? A few hundred maybe? Although like I said I've been spaffing out on baby and engagement stuff for her lately so something big is probably not essential.
I asked her what she would like... she suggested a pair of M&S trainers that she'd had her eye on but said they were expensive so could be a joint present with other people in the family... they're £45 ffs.

Bless her. I recently bought my friend a necklace from Bloom. Inexpensive sterling silver but very pretty and they do lovely engraving. You could get her that as something to keep, the trainers as something to wear and maybe a voucher for a hair or beauty salon she can then just be away from the baby for an hr or 2 (much less stressful than a spa day).
