Need an idea for a present

A friend of mine will soon be leaving Germany to study in the UK. It's rather unlikely that we will see each other again anytime soon, which is why I wanted to give her a present before she leaves. She's in her mid-20s, vegetarian, somewhat alternative and a rather practical-minded person - she definitely wouldn't accept anything fancy or too expensive.

Basically I'm looking for a present which is useful, not too expensive and might remember her of home. Any suggestions?

How about a poem? Maybe a slideshow of photos you have taken together? A look back on your friendship in the form of an essay? You don't need to buy a present, you just need to make one from the heart.

If you are good at writing poems, write one yourself straight from your heart ^^'

Let's compromise. A teapot with a poem painted on it... from the heart.

my GF is a vegetarian too and fits quite some of the qualities you described. Now many vegetariens, if they are into soy products, tend to be very picky about them. They take a long time to find those they actually like. So i would suggest gifting her her favorite vegetarian product from the "superbiomarkt" or something. Should be something that stays fresh w/o coolage as well :D
Because, english cuisine is great but quite different.

Maybe you can guess from the poem theme, sort of, that your best best could be making something yourself. Both cost-wise, and adding sentimental value, a gift that has your own personal touch is always a relatively safe bet.

If you want a more specific suggestion, and the timing of "soon" isn't within the immediate future, dropping by an art store that can let you decorate a ceramic cup/plate etc. (which they would kiln fire for you) is a great gift. Pretty cheap, something she can use every day and be reminded of you, and you can add all sorts of fun to it. Plus, that type of gift would perfectly suite a practically-minded, ~alternative girl.

(Technically even faster is doing the same idea, but just on a store-bought mug/cup with paint supplies you can buy just about anywhere. http://www.ehow.com/how_6068362_decorate-own-ceramic-coffee-mug.html is an example/possible guide for this.)

Edit: formatting + link.

Give her a good time, if you know what I mean
