The woman in question is my best friend. She lives in London, England and I live in America. I am at a loss as to what to get her! She loves turtles, alpacas, planes, and going out with friends.
Let me reiterate I live in the USA. My best friend lives in the UK
Answer
tiny beanbag turtles of the type used for play or for decoration.
airmail stationary & stickers of turtles & planes
fall apron such as an apple print
dishtowels or potholders
book of comic strips, such as Cathy (ask the post office if there's a special book rate to the UK)
pictures or picture postcards from the area where you live
tiny gift book or bookmarks--The type of item often near the cash registers of bookstore.
Frisbee or other small lightweight game
playing cards & plastic card tray--You might find cards with turtles, alpacas, or planes in the design on the backs. Otherwise, any pretty design will probably be fine if it seems like the colors that she likes.
clear plastic cosmetic travel cases with brightly colored designs & bright zipper (I have a set of small ones in hot pink.) One might be the right size for pencils & pens. You might find a matched set of several small to medium ones. Could include little plastic travel bottles for her to put her cosmetics in.
chain or satin cord necklace with a charm, such as turtle, alpaca, or plane
bangle bracelets

Shopping in London?

My best friend is living in London, and I'm trying to see if I can order a gift card online for her birthday and have it mailed to her (using a Canadian Visa/MC, which should be fine). My problem is trying to figure out ideas of where to get her a gift card too without asking her.
She LOVES M.A.C. cosmetics, but apparently they don't sell online, which seems to be the problem with a lot of UK stores I've looked at (including H&M and Selfridges). She likes trendy clothing, but not super-expensive.
Alternatively, the M.A.C. website says Harrods sells M.A.C. makeup, but I can't seem to find any on their website. Can anyone confirm that? and if so, do they have a large selection?
Oops, It should have said "M.A.C. doesn't sell their gift cards online", they DO sell products online, but like the below poster said, she'd rather go to a store and check things out.
