I recently enjoyed two separate days out with old friends. I am unlikely to see them for at least several months. In both cases I was taken out for a lovely meal and not expected to pay for my self. Now I want to send a little note with a postable gift and would welcome suggestions. Gift tokens don't seem quite right.
About £12 would be right, more would embarrass I think. They are in their 70s, in one case a couple with a lovely garden, not especially big but beautifully kept and colourful. They might like some special biscuits. The other friend is a single woman, well travelled with bright original taste in furnishings, I wondered about a cd or book for her.
All ideas welcome!

Have you tried looking at Etsy? I just went on there and searched for gifts, also ticked the box on the left hand side for UK only. Here are the results.
Pages and pages of rather interesting things there!

Customized cupcakes or something that they can use often. I saw one commented a scarf, I think it's also a good idea. smile
