A friend I know is one Practical Penelope. Her brownie-points seeker spoils her with ipods, wallets, stationery and more - an engraving on her ipod, a secret card tucked into a shiny new wallet. All with tiny 'sentimental' touches - enough to tickle her pink and for her to tickle his...
Here are a few online shopping starters:
Luxe to Less
Smythson - more on the luxe, not so much 'less'. Amazing luxury leathergoods such as jewellery boxes, passport holders, make up cases and stationery.
Top 3 by Design - Design-laden goodness. Everything from homewares to gadgets to jewellery and accessories
O'Hara Designs - 2 Sydney gals who love the Harbour and love making handbags (amongst other things). The Kash laptop bag is one of their greats. You can even score yourself a new wallet while shopping for the girl.
Pigeonhole - If she's a little quirky or unconventional,, she might like Pigeonhole's "Offbeat design found off the beaten track".
Etsy.com - Less of a shop, more of a marketplace. Find anything and everything from Accessories to Woodwork. This site supports lots of emerging designers so you can trawl through and find something to her style and your budget
Brownie Points P.A memo: Practical is good but buyer beware. 'Weight loss for dummies' or a gym membership might see your Brownie Points go south of the border.
