On presents

My girlfriend`s daughter will soon be 14. Mimi wanted a party at this place called `Lush`. Her mother cannot afford it,so I think they are going somewhere a bit cheaper.

Veronica told me girls of that age just want cash-but I think cash is so impersonal. I have bought Mimi a gift box of Lush products. I never had children but I hope I have done the right thing?

Sounds perfect, OG. I bet she will be very happy with that.

And I agree about not giving money. It's so much nicer to put some thought into what she would enjoy. Well done you!

Stephan my granddaughter is 14 and she loves receiving Lush products so I would imagine Mimi would also be delighted with her gift box.

Re: On presents

Thanks all for so much kind feedback. As I said I never had children. I remember birthdays when friends gave me little presents-seems these days parents have to pay a small fortune to host a party.

Re: On presents

I agree with everyone that a well thought out gift is better than cash. I had to look up the brand though, I never heard of Lush. They might have a new customer now
