Hi there,
It's nearly Alicia's birthday and I'm planning to buy her a special gift. We've been together for 6 months and I'd like to get her something unusual that she'll remember for a long time. As her best friend, I reckon you know her better than anyone. I'd be so grateful if you could give me some hints!
Bye for now
