seems like only 5 mins ago.

middle aged (oops). Goes running but not sporty, not musical. Likes reading, food.  Doesn’t mind jewellery, and doesn’t mind the odd gadget, Has got a Fitbit.  

Any ideas gratefully accepted

    Nah, Harley Benton LP with upgraded pickups is a better guitar.

    Bearing in mind the answers on the other thread, it’s likely that none of that sort of thing will be valid ;)

    A kindle if she hasn't got one? Experiences make great presents I think more so than things. No idea of your budget but a hot air balloon flight or a weekend in paris/bruges etc. Sushi making class is great fun.

  • My Wife's birthday(51) on Monday as is my daughters (18) and our 19th wedding anniversary, all same day.

    I am upgrading my wife's S2 Apple watch with a S4 44mm Nike edition one.

    We need a budget really, but I'll go with Gait analysis at a proper running shop and a new pair of running trainers (the deal is you usually have to buy the latter from the same shop you bought the former).
    Shot through the heart, and you’re to blame, you give love a bad name. Not to mention archery tuition.

    2 excellent points.  just paid off the mortgage as a result of her very good planning and swapping 10 years ago, so i’ll say £500 as a splash out for a change.

    the gait analysis and proper running shoes is a great idea :)

    You could innocently bring up the subject of bucket lists and if she plays along, see if any of her choices are within your budget.
    Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.
    Also chips are "Plant-based" no matter how you cook them.

    You could take your wedding vows again and give her the appropriate ring to go with it.

    Your life will improve when you realise it’s better to be alone than chase people who do not really care about you. Saying YES to happiness means learning to say NO to things and people that stress you out.

    A serious suggestion, sorry! Buy her this and then cook one of her favourite type of meals from it.
