Thank you for your replies.
I thought my login name would give an indication of my sex, but in case there is some doubt, I am female. LOL
I have done the lipstick, manicure stuff, body lotion etc stuff in the past for the beach girls.
This lady is not a beach seller and while I have a few bits and pieces like the above already for her, I am looking at something more personal as this lady is special.
I like the idea of a photo frame and have some current photos of her child that I could place into a nice frame, maybe that is the answer.
I know the family have a car but not a bike, but Gary I like your thinking just the same. I am also not sure that she doesn't have a mobile phone already.
While I am sure that anything can be purchased for our Balinese friends in Bali, I agree that they are very proud and it's not the easiest of tasks to suggest that they can choose something they would like and take them shopping, hence my request for something "different" to take over.
Sometimes it's a bit hard to step outside the box and consider what would be appropriate that shows our affection and appreciation.
Thank you all for your suggestions, if you think of anything else, please post.
Kind regards
