    For bridesmaids gifts...I'm giving my girls something sentimental but I'm including a little something extra for each one depending upon what they like (i.e. spa/massage gift card so they can pamper themselves after the wedding).  The problem is one of my BMs is moving to London three days after my wedding.  So I can't get her anything in the states.  And she has to pack very light so I don't want to get her any more "stuff". 

    Is there a clothing store or spa that I could purchase a gift card to in London?  I'd love to hear any ideas. 

     

    Thanks!

    It'd be worth googling Eve Lom, she's a wonderful facialist based in London. Can't think of anything else right now.

    There are a lot of places, but what kind of girl is she? What kind of clothes does she wear? What does she like?

    What about The Body Shop for spa/beauty products?

    Thanks everyone.  She is pretty classic in clothing style (nothing too racy or too whimsical).  She has a little boy and spends most of her time/money on him so I wanted to get her somehting that she could use for herself. 

    She loves pilates classes, massages, facials, etc.

    A good idea might be a Wahanda health and beauty gift voucher - http://www.wahanda.com/the-wahanda-gift-voucher/

    It's accepted at something like 500 different posh spas and fitness centres throughout the UK, so she could use it for whatever she preferred.

    If you want a specific voucher, Bliss has a London location and I've heard great things about the Sanctuary Spa in Covent Garden. There's always Urban Retreat in Harrod's too!

    HARROD'S!!! Harrod's is the most glorious place on Earth : )  Also.. Bliss (www.blissworld.com) has a location in London.  I'm not sure where you are but if you are in a major city you probably have a Bliss location where you could buy the gift certificate in person.

    Thanks everyone...I didn't expect such quick and helpful responses!    I'm in Chicago so you have given me more than enough suggestions!  I'm off to do some research on delivery.

    I'd go with the sanctury or Harrods. Alternatively if you're wanting to get her something that's a 'treat' and really quintessentially english, the Ritz sell vouchers for their AMAZING afternoon tea! http://www.theritzlondon.com/tea/
