My niece has almost completed an English Lit degree and its her 21st soon.

For her 18th I gave her the works of Byron.

I am at a loss as to what to give her for her 21st as I want it to be special and crucially dont want to ask.

I will spend about �50 -any ideas anyone?

Im posting elsewhere about another idea in case you think I dont appreciate anything you suggest -covering all bases.

Do you know if she enjoyed the Harry Potter series? If she did, JK's new book, which is kind of a spin off to HP, is available in a collectors edition at �50. There are only 100,000 for sale so it'll be worth a bob or two further down the line.

O thank you for that -that will be something I shall look into.
Think she would appreciate a special edition even if she isnt an HP or JK fan.

Lakitu

You're welcome, special editions are good to tuck away and save for a (very) rainy day :o)

Ive just ordered that -even if she doesnt like J K Rowling or HP -even tho its not HP- think she will apppreciate the book after all all bookworms would embrace a 'special edition'.

Think she will be chuffed and the book looks delightful.

Thanks Red -good shout but I ordered the above as I think its something special that a bookworm would love to have on their bookcase..
Her Mum and Dad (my brother) have bought an antique bookcase desk and chair- so she is well into her books.

Like I said doesnt matter if she really likes JK -although I feel she will enjoy this one -its going to be something to treasure.

Thanks for replying tho x

Think i've nailed it with Lakitis suggestiion of course.
