42 year old man
38 year old woman

id say it depends on how much you want to spend, what you already know what they like/into and i spose weather youd want to include a partner.
id probably go with if either drink a nice bottle of something, or something in relation to what they are into.0 -
id look on the special occasions board, they have loads of fab ideas on there0
-
aftershave for him and perfume for her, bottle of wine chocolates etc.0

Well i'm a 36 year old woman and i loved the la senza pyjama's offer on the grabbit board....but not everyone likes stuff like this for pressies and you do have to know sizes :cool:0

For the man how about the QI book from the TV series which is full of amazing facts. For the woman then something like candles/bath foam.0
-
Powerball for the man +-£20 from maplin or ebay and a massage/manicure/pedicure voucher fo the lady from your nearest nice luxury hotel salon maybe?Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heavenMatthew 5:30

I think you're as lazy as the person who said "what ever" tbh.
If you;re buying the gift for someone you want to buy a gift for then you should know them even just a tiny bit to know what they like.
If i was bought a standard gift for someone my age (smellies, etc) I wouldnt be too impressed.
My opinion btw!0 -
wrap the woman up and give her to the man , ..............sorted !Vuja De - the feeling you'll be here later0

It's really hard to give you ideas as you only know the people in question not us.
A man - i would say a blu ray dvd or book or aftershave
A woman - probably a nice gift set, next has these or a bottle of good wine in a wine box and a chick flick movie
Envy is the most stupid of vices, for there is no single advantage to be gained from it.:A0
