Evening all

Bit of background: I need to buy a xmas present for a friend. Basically she obsessed with VW campervans, so its joke between us that ive promised to buy her a part of one for xmas/bday and eventually she will have a full campervan (in theory). Obviously im aware that we'll never get to a full camper, so need some ideas for items/parts that I could buy that are either useful or decorative. So far ive bought her a front VW badge, and door handles with keys.

Anyone got any clever ideas? Probably want to spend up to £50 ish.

Obviously i could just get her something cheap like a gasket but that would just end up in the bin.

Cheers

Get her a seat.
She can use it in her house until she gets the real thing.

Camper seat ends soon

Looks like it would need re-upholstering though- does anyone have any idea where to get this done or how much it costs?
