What to get for DD1 for achieving an MA ?

A voucher for a haircut and/or some new clothes. She will be going for job interviews now.

Two nights in a good hotel with husband? A bit of R&R after the pressures of study & deadlines. Or would she enjoy a spa day & lunch with a friend?
Well done that Superwoman & all who supported her.

Aldom i was thinking hot air balloon ride too..... snap.

Well well done to your DD kittylester, you must be very proud...

I echo what Aldom has said, a hot air balloon ride, its memorable and not on the shop shelf for the world and his wife to buy..... or a 3-course meal on steam train, ive done the steam train and it was like a James Bond film.

A couple of days at a spa with a few massages/treatment. Ragdale would it perfect. Well done her.

Or flights and Hôtel for a couple of days to Seville, Rome, anywhere in Europe. Why not ask her what she would really enjoy.

Have it beautifully, professionally framed?

Echoing this idea, I gained my degree last year as a v v mature student and my dad v thoughtfully had my diploma mounted and framed - it was such a nice gift and meant a lot to me.

Well done your daughter!.

Well done her! You must be very proud. What about an art work or a special handbag? Something that will last a number of years.

That's brilliant! Well done to her. A weekend away with her DH maybe? Maybe a more unusual one like glamping or an activity one.

Congratulations to her and all her family for supporting her you must be very proud especially in the stressful times we live in.
'I like SueDonim, gave an ink pen Monte Blanc set to someone who had got their M.D. with a young family and wife.'
My SIL got whisked away for a luxurious weekend break when she got her PhD as a mature student.
A family photo sitting in her cap and gown with her family would be lovely too.

Well done, her! ?

Does she hand-write anything? We gave our boys personalised pens when they got their PhD’s.

Congratulations on your daughter’s great achievement, Kitty. You must be so very proud of her. Obviously, a celebratory meal with family and close friends is called for, and maybe a memorable ‘red letter day’, doing something fun that she’d really enjoy? ?

How wonderful

Could you buy her something handmade that relates to her MA? I suppose it depends how much you want to spend too.

Congratulations to your daughter. As you are thinking 'fun present' how about an Air Balloon flight?

I know how proud you must feel. Such an amazing achievement plus all the other demands on her time. I was at a granddaughter's graduation ceremony yesterday. She battled mental health issues towards the end of sixth form and the beginning of university and there were times when it would have been the easy option to quit. All credit to her she stuck at it and is now a Bachelor of Science with a 1st and a prize for the best dissertation in her year. She loves cows and Highland cattle in particular. I found a lady on Etsy who embroiders messages on soft toys and as luck would have it, she has Highland cows. Perhaps something like this which could be personalised would be good as you are looking for a fun present.

That really is an amazing achievement, especially at ‘this time’, and with a family too.
I shall have a think about a gift.
What is your DD’s MA in Kitty, if you don’t mind me asking?

It’s certainly an achievement, especially if you’ve got family responsibilities as well. How about a weekend away at a Spa hotel, where she can unwind.

Be sure to tell her how very proud you are of her. I think a celebration is in order!

Oh, we have hetty lots and helped out where possible. In fact, DH did all her proof reading for which she bought him a lovely piece of art.

We gave our daughter money to go for a meal of her choice with her husband.

Be sure to tell her how very proud you are of her. I think a celebration is in order!

Or thinking about it, having in the past been the other half of an MA ? with two little children and a job, how about a studio family portrait, with a “We did it together” strapline ?

That is fantastic! Well done to her. I have no suggestions but wanted to acknowledge your daughter's achievement.

Well done to her kitty. You must be so proud.

Have it beautifully, professionally framed?

Wine & dine her at a memorable place you know she would like. A nice book could be a keeper of the ocasion. Well done your daughter!!
