Partner's 60th birthday - Pressie time!

Options
I think this is a challenge for all you ladies out there! It's my partner's 60th soon (6 weeks). We are jetting off to the Far East but I want her actual birthday to be a special day with a few nice pressie's for her to open away from home.
I have decided I want to give her a present for each of her 5 senses; Hearing, Sight, Touch, Smell & Taste. The holiday part is costing a lot so I need to be mindful of too much further cost. I already have a few ideas for some of the senses but I am a mere man and the view of you ladies would be helpful in making my mind up. The presents really don't have to cost much more than about £10 each.
Thanks in anticipation girls.

    Or bubble bath.

    You can buy some night light candles place them round the bath and run her bath for her. A glass of chilled wine. Very romantic.

    For her eye (naughty underwear for you to wear her to see.). How about a good book, something you know she would like to read.

    We used this of my dads 60th and can highly recommend it.

    How about a silk scarf for touch?
    Born to shop;)
  • touch - cuddly toy marks and spenceras do really nice soft ones
    taste - chocs from hotel chocolat they are fresh chocs and delicious
    smell - either flowers florist will tell you which are the most fragrant, or perfume
    sight - a collection of photos documenting her life
    sound - a compelation of her favourite music burned onto cd

    you are very thoughtful to put so much effort into your partners gift. i only hope my OH is half that thoughtful when i am 60!!
