Alice in Wonderland themed-ish ideas

[madDawg228]

One of my closest friends is having a Alice in Wonderland themed 30th b-day, and I'm trying to think of something thoughtful and fun to get her that follows the theme.  She always gives super thoughtful gifts, so I would like to get her something good.

Creative people:  Can you think of any good gift ideas?

Really nice tea set is the first thing that comes to mind.

How much do you want to spend?

That reminds me, I saw this in a window today.

I'm leaning towards $50 -75 before taxes/shipping.

Or a really nice bottle of champagne or wine from 1985 with a tag that says drink me.

A pocket watch looking watch on a necklace

I can't remember, but are playing cards involved? For some reason that pops into my head

I assume a white Rabbit is out of the picture? But maybe you could go to uwajimaya and get her some white Rabbit candy.

Or adopt a bunch of butterflies in her name? Is that a thing?

A nice tea set or tea cup was my first thought. Does she like tea?

Butterflies need love too.

But you know, like when you can sponsor animals. I mean, no one wants to sponsor a caterpillar and he turns into a butterfly at the end anyway.

some options from Etsy (which I think are usually unique)

What kind of things does your friend into or LIKE? Is she a fashion maven? A crafting diva? A garden fairy? A game master? A kitchen queen? A sport baller?

There's quite a few fun themed, and even more unusual things (besides butterflies) we could think up. I need a direction to head though.

My first thought was, of course, some beautiful tea ware if she's a tea drinker, but something kind of spectacular, maybe even vintage. I'd try to find one from the 20s (because hers are ending) or 30s (just starting) and then gift with a gc to Teavana or somewhere if you don't know what kind of tea she likes.

Love the book scarf MrsP posted before I was able

How long have you been friends? What kind of history do you have together?

Also, is it a costume party or just theme? I have a tophat with teacups glued to the top and I have one with March Hare ears if you would like to borrow if its a costume party.

Perfect!

She definitely has the travel bug, in the last 4 months she's been to Italy and China, and several US cities.

We have been friends since college, so over ten years now.  We are Pledge Sisters, got engaged/married within a year of each other, she was one of my MOHs, and we frequently have puppy playdates.  Her corgi is Conan's "girlfriend."  Neither of us have kids, and love to get our drank on.

We are going as a group to an Alice in Wonderland burlesque show   I don't think we are dressing up in costume.

I'm no help - but if someone wants to send me butterflies, I'm game! I just bought a ton of plants that are suppose to attract butterflies this summer.
