I always think a gift is nice if it is useful, but in that case i would prefer the money to choose it myself. On the other hand, a gift that is given with love ( even if you would not have chosen it yourself) is always precious as a memory of that person.

Re: Daughter's birthday gift.

In the end I have bought her rice shaped freshwater pearls.
A long string with three colours of pearl, white, pink and a light silver colour that she can twist to make two rows or leave as 1 long row but tie a knot in.
Sorry the photo doesn't do them justice.

I wasn't happy with the box they came in so will go out and find something nicer for her to keep them in. There's an Indian bazaar stall in the market that I've bought lots of Christmas/Birthday presents from before so I'm going to see if I can find a nice carved wooden box and buy some material to line it.

Re: Daughter's birthday gift.

I think they are very pretty MC. I am not a big Jewellery person, but those would look lovely on a naked neck in the summer, or even a dark high necked top in the winter....good choice
