    However I want to do lots of romantic gestures and presents for him, I am going to do him a pot of love and then get him a sphering session, where you go down a hill in a big hamster ball, not overly romantic, but I know he will love it
    Maybe get something from thortons too.......... not sure yet.

    What do other people get for their oh's?? I mean can you get t shirts and stuff??

    Hi Lynzie,

    Where are you getting the sphering session from? I did this for OH for christmas and I only paid £28 ish which included the presentation box and I also used a voucher code for £5 off ... I can send details over if it helps unless you have already got it.

    For my OH I am doing a reb box ... sounds boring but he will love it and think I have lost the plot as there are some strange pressies in there ... so far I have all this ...

    However since taking the photo I have bought tabasco sauce and a few other red things ... box is still only half full though!

    rusty your pot of love looks great. Didn't know they had special scratch cards but should have guessed really!! I have so far got some mini bourneville chocs which are in a red wrapper for my OH (pinched out of the Christmas tin - no one else likes them!! and he hasn't noticed yet!) and will buy some scratch cards. not got anything to put them in yet.

  • Hey Rusty, those details would be fab........ Thnakyou

    I saw one site, but it only had a couple of avaible dates, and they were fully booked!

    I wanted to get him something with a adrenline tush, but didnt want to spend no more that £50 and it has to be in sussex, or portsmouth southampton way.

    I love your gifts! I havent seen any of those scratch cards yet, I must go to some differnet shops

    In co-op they had some heart shaped chocs, in a small box they are covered in red foil, not sure how much they are, no price was there

    http://www.thorntons.co.uk/ThorntonsSite/product/Valentines_Day_ExclusiveValentinesGifts/0138.htm a nice chocolate to maybe go in your pot depending on how big it is, from thorntons, they have a few nice things on here, maybe i will just feed my oh up :D

    Thanks bunbun ... my OH doesn't like bourneville :(

    I've been a bit rushed as OH has gone out to help a friend and he hasn't said how long he was going to be so trying to get as much done as possible whilst he is out :)

    Hi Lynzie, I have just looked and they do one in west sussex which would probably be ideal for you??

    Link is here : http://www.buyagift.co.uk/Product/Id/3063/Name/Harness_Sphereing_for_One_Special_Offer

    I recommend getting the box set as it looks quite lovely when it arrives

    It is £26.43
    the gift box is £4.50 then delivery is about £2 but there is a £5 gift voucher you can put in which is 357951

    works out about £28 with the gift box. :)

    Hope this helps.

    Edit: If the gift voucher doesn't work then PM me and I will find more for you. I have used this one 4 times so far and each time it has been fine so should work :)

    Hi Lynzie,

    It is just a voucher and says it can used between x month and x month ... I don't think it can be used til April anyway due to weather/cold etc so you can book plenty of time in advance and I believe you can also do some weekends aswell.

  • Not sure if this'll help anyone but i created some vouchers and animated images the other year for my OH ... they aren't amazing but he liked them ....they're on my website if you want to have a look and i don't mind adding a name or changing bits for you ... just pm me if you want to have a look (tho pls dont judge me, im not a total pervert - honest!!)


    Could i please have the link for this please!! Many thanks
  • Keeping it simple this year,a card and a kiss.:cool:
    Any links to free card downloads?I have seen the tesco value ones,very funny but dont think OH would be impressed.
