Isabella Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Our 19.5yo dd is leaving home to take up a nanny job on the other side of the country. Her luggage allowance is 23kg, and carry-on luggage of 7kg, which she has pretty much already reached.:tongue_smilie: I don't have any clue what to get her, and I've asked her what she'd like, but she said she doesn't need anything. I could give her money, but I keep thinking that's a bit boring. It would be something to consider if all else fails, I guess. I have no price limit in mind - I'm happy to spend quite a bit, but my main thought is that it would be something special to remember what she was given when she started her independent life! Jewellery will probably come to mind, but she doesn't wear it, except for a watch. I'd love any and all ideas!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaT Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 What about something sentimental that doesn't cost anything? I made all of my kids a bound book, sort of "Mom's advice for living life." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabella Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 The only trouble is that she leaves home in 2 days time, so not much time for making anything! But thanks for the idea anyway - maybe I could send her something like that later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalicoKat Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Mail it to her. It'd be the first mail she'd get. My mom once mailed me one of her sweatshirts so I could get a mom hug any time I needed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
