Help please. 50th birthday present idea's

[Perissa]

I have a lovely friend who is 50 next week and I am searching for a gift for her through an on line service type thing.

I've looked at cupcakes, but they looked a bit plastic, flowers and chocolates, all the usual stuff then I thought why not ask here!

She's horsey and doggy (has 4 patterdale terriers)
Likes Beer, cakes, chocolate etc

I'm looking for a combo type thing sort of like this but it would be nice if it said 50th birthday

Around the £40 mark

Personally I'd dislike flowers, chocolates, anything I can look at that will pile on the weight! I'd prefer something practical or a voucher.

The cupcake things are fine for an office or group but don't keep long enough for one or two people to eat.

Personally I'd prefer a case of wine but if she likes beer ASDA will deliver orders over £25 for under a fiver delivery charge.

Nip into a Thorntons & get a chocolate plaque iced too?

Try having a look at hamper.co (or something like that!) They will do a variety of hampers, and you can even make one up. They will put a personal message on it too. Have used them a couple of times and they are very good. Got one for sisters birthday one year, it was a breakfast hamper, full of very good goodies They do a chocolate one and alsorts of other things.
