What to get the wife for her birthday

[Ronald.]

Hello forum

Ronald here. It's my wife's birthday next week and I haven't the foggiest of what to get her. We're celebrating 40 years of marriage this year. Hard to think of ideas after such a time. We met on a fishing trip in Dungeness back in the 70s so I was thinking of getting her a fishing rod with her name printed on it. She likes fishing but hasn't been in over twenty years so I'm unsure if she would like it.

Any one on the forum have any other ideas? She also likes pottery, musicals and antiques.

Any ideas would be appreciated. R.

What's our budget?

[Crimson Dynamo]

In know that a lot of the tibb women would like a new fishing rod, lets see what they come up with?

[Ronald.]

What's our budget?

The less I spend the better.

Willing to part with up to £50 for a gift for her.

[Cherie]

Free tickets to the BB final seeing as you are a fan

[Alf]

So she likes fishing, Musicals, Pottery and antiques?

How about a 'Big mouth Billy Bass'?

It's a fish, it's musical, it could now possibly be considered antique. The only thing missing is pottery, maybe you could put it on a pot background?

[Ronald.]

Those fish take me back a few years. My brother had one and his children used to hate it. He had to take it down off the wall in the end because it scared the children. Dont think my other half would appreciate a gift like this. I think I might go with fishing rod idea actually. I hope she will like it. R.

[MTVN]

At least if she doesn't like it you've got a nice new rod to use yourself

[Ronald.]

That's true but if I get it in engraved with "Margaret" I must admit I'd feel a little silly getting it out.

Any upcoming musicals she would be up for seeing??

I like to buy art for people as its something that they tend not to buy for themselves and is a great talking piece. How about something like this its available from Amazon

At £27.99 it comes in comfortably on budget?

I am horrific with presents, I always get something thats really crap, or that I think has a huge meaning but the recipient just doesn't get it at all :laugh:

Because of this, I tend to favour trips and such rather than gifts. Spa breaks, short holidays etc. You might be able to get a spa break for 50 quid tbh...I'm going with my mother on Monday and it was only 40pp including treatments, nighttime meal, breakfast and an overnight stay and a bottle of prosecco (never tried the stuff before but I hear its nice :laugh: )

But of course not all women are into spa stuff and you would really have to go with her too as its a present...and a lot of men hate spas and anything 'girly'.

The reviews on that are tempting me to buy one for myself tbh :D

I agree with this, me and Gav always get eachother weekends away for presents because we both really enjoy it. And yes to Prosecco, strawberries and a bath once you're there :hee:

[Crimson Dynamo]

I have no idea why the surprise thing exists. Ask what they want and buy it, if they cant think of anything dont get anything.

Love the artwork! I think that would be more a present for me than for my wife!

The idea of a spa trip sounds good. I will get her two passes so she can invite her sister or one of her bingo friends. She will appreciate that more than a fishing rod i think.

Thank you for helping me think outside the box. I will research into spas now. R.

The default answer to 'what do you want' is 'nothing' though. And trust me, getting that even when they have said they want that does not go down very well...

oh god and valentines bloody day is around the corner

:rolleyes:

[Ronald.]

We don't celebrate valentines day in the Rogers household. Mainly because it's my second eldest's daughter. birthday Would feel strange celebrating her birthday by making love to my wife. R.

Hello forum

Ronald here. It's my wife's birthday next week and I haven't the foggiest of what to get her. We're celebrating 40 years of marriage this year. Hard to think of ideas after such a time. We met on a fishing trip in Dungeness back in the 70s so I was thinking of getting her a fishing rod with her name printed on it. She likes fishing but hasn't been in over twenty years so I'm unsure if she would like it.

Any ideas would be appreciated. R.

I haven't enquired how much you have got to spend, but if money isn't too much of a problem and she likes musicals, how about tickets for a show in London or one of the provinces if London is too far to go and finish off with a night in a nice hotel. Don't go for the fishing rod, unless you know she would like to take up fishing again.

[jennyjuniper]

The less I spend the better.

Willing to part with up to £50 for a gift for her.

R.

I should have read this before I started going on about tickets for musicals etc.,50 quid is not enough for that. Okay how about a dvd of a musical that she hasn't got, a box of good chocs and a bottle of wine and use the rest on flowers.:shrug:
But forget the fishing rod, engraved with her name or not.

[jennyjuniper]

Any upcoming musicals she would be up for seeing??

Not if he's only willing to spend 50 quid?:shrug:

What about a star ronaldrodgers, you can get a star named after her with the documents of authentication with it and a map of where it is,I had one off my husband a couple of years back,it's just a thought and something a bit different.:wavey:

I bought this for ex-mrs lt when we were first married and named it in her maiden name as she was about to lose it. The children were always fascinated by it.

Margaret was very happy with the spa tickets. She was surprised as it is not something I would normally give her. She asked where I got the idea from but my lips were sealed. Thanks forum. R.
