You can never go wrong with a leather handbag. Before you wrap it stuff a couple of twenty pound notes in it (bad luck to give a bag or purse without cash in it ~ good luck to put cash in as it means the purse will never be empty)
No woman I have ever known has ever admitted to having too many "quality" handbags. OK ~ with the notes you are looking at spending twixt £100 and £150 to get something with a designer label, less if you shop in somewhere like Debenhams or a local luggage specialists. Remember it has to be leather, don't be tempted toward plastic ~ but think of the brownie points
