Question...

[S.ilvio]

A good friend of mine who happens to be aged in her early 20s will be celebrating her 3rd year in sobriety next week. I want to buy her something to mark her achievement but am at a loss as to know what to get.

I have a budget of around €/$50/£35.

Any suggestions would be most welcome...

I think she will probably be your best bet for a suggestion S.ilvio.

My thinking cap is on

good quality tea?

OH NO THEY DON'T

Flowers are just the thing, with a card congratulating her. No Roses! You are in Ireland, correct? Just a nice fall arrangement

Gonna sound stingy but a thoughtful card should be enough with appropriate words of congratulations and good luck for the future.

How about a bottle of that grape juice that (I think) Welch's sells in a wine-shaped bottle? Or would that come off wrong?

What Sylver said. Even a nice houseplant to nurture if she has a green thumb.

What about a garden gnome? An Irish leprechaun gnome?

S.ilvio - a different thought

Does she by any chance wear a charm bracelet ? If so how about a charm in the shape of a '3' to celebrate her 3 years - every time she puts it on, it will remind her how hard she has worked and will encourage her to go on.

Or a little ornament - I've seen little candle holders [ not for cakes ] in the form of numbers - again go for a 3

Or a little sliver trinket dish

It's been a real struggle for her to get to 3 years - it deserves a reward - a tangible one

Exactly what I was thinking, a pendant or such to commemorate her 3 years of sobriety.

There are a few places that specialise in personalisable presents...darn, none of their names coming to mind, but you could probably find one with an internet search. Maybe looking around one of these site's wares could give you ideas?

If all else fails...Everyone loves cake, right? Personalised or not.

A holy crucifix could do. Something from the holy-side of reality can be a blessing and keeping her into the mysteries of God's eternal love.
