My sister is turning 40 at the weekend and I'd like to get her something really special (but not too expensive!). Was thinking of a nice book with some kind of wise words/advice/photos/celebration of life etc. the kind of book you can come back to again and again.


I've already given her the ones I've read, so am looking for more ideas.


any recommendations? what has been a book that has helped to keep you sane?

oops, seems like a bad choice of words on my part?.


yes, she has kids, and yes we do usually give each other more fun presents. personally i would like to give her something she would never treat herself to, like perfume or such, but when I turned 40 - she's my younger sister - she gave me a really nice home-made "survival kit" with bits and pieces, a bit tongue-in-cheek, but in no way it made me want to smack her! made me laugh and i appreciated the thought.


she's having a huge party and in no danger of becoming graceful, but i know she would like something special that she can keep. she still has a book of photos i made her when she turned 21.


i just want to get her something special and thought there might be a few book suggestions out there.


sorry, "graceful" probably the wrong choice of word?

    • Pickup your dogs shit off the street, it's so simple. Don't own a dog if you cannot do this basic service. Pathetic. Cleaning my shoes of dog shit for the 2nd time this month. What's going on? 
    • Hi SpringTime, I completely understand the concern for protecting birds, but using bells on cats is a bit more complicated. While they may reduce hunting success, they're not always effective & can cause stress for some cats, who are highly sensitive to sound. A better solution is to ensure cats are kept indoors during peak bird activity & providing plenty of enrichment at home to satisfy their hunting instincts. There's a terrible misconception that cats do not require as much mental & physical enrichment as dogs do. But they do, if not more so.

    • Hi Nigello, Many spayed/neutered & microchipped cats actually don't wear collars, as they often go missing & can pose risks.  Microchipping is far more reliable for reuniting lost cats with their guardians. Some of our clients even keep sacks of collars on standby because their cats frequently return without them - a comical but telling example of how impractical collars can be. A major contributor to unspayed/unneutered cats & kittens is purchasing from breeders, where these measures are often overlooked. Adopting from shelters, on the other hand, ensures all precautionary steps - like spaying/neutering, microchipping, as well as vaccinations - are already in place.
