    So I picked out my boyfriend's brother's girlfriend.. with me so far? :o She is 25, and quiet, and doesn't interact much with anyone. I have no idea if she's into beauty or clothes, or what. She is also almost 7 months pregnant.

    Limit is €50 and I am going stir crazy.
    Please help! :(

    Maybe ask your brothers boyfriend what she is like?

    Also, if she is 7 months pregnant, Id imagine clothes are far from her mind?

    How about a one for all voucher?

    Or a day in a spa. She could probably do with being pampered a bit.

    thanks for the ideas - nobody knows her, I can't ask my bf's bro because well, then the secret is out!

    Also a day in a spa, well €50 won't stretch that far and I don't think she would be into that to be honest.

    A one for all voucher is the safe bet then. If she wants to buy baby stuff she can. But if she wants perfume or mobile credit or something else she can get it herself.

    I know you are about to say vouchers are very impersonal, but of you dont know the girl then how can you make a personal gift?

    very true but... vouchers are forbidden in this family's Kris Kindle rules :( EEK!

    Its maybe Kris Kringle to people who don't know how to pronounce it. TO everyone else though, its kris kindle. Although I prefer the term Secret Santa.

    What about a nice piece of jewellery? You could get a gift receipt for it, so if she didn't like it, she could change it for something else.

    Maybe a hand bag, purse, body/bath set, nice photo frame, digital camera, digital photo frame (the one where the picture changes constantly).

    Argos have a few digital cameras under €50

    Apologies for the stupid question, but how can 'nobody know her'? Surely if she is seven months pregnant your boyfriends family would know something about her or what she might be into etc?

    Also can I ask, why are vouchers banned? Tell me to mind my own if you wish, I am just curious.

    Just a guess but I'd say vouchers are not considered 'inventive' enough. They're a bit of a cop-out gift, even if they are useful.
