SKINT - wedding to go too on sat - Now advice on wrapping odd shaped pressie

Mike_St_Helens

Well.. I know I know I know that this has been coming, spen too much for OH's bday last week and have a wedding on saturday... A Civil Partnership one.. never been to one before...

I have dumped the hotel room in favour of paying my bro £30 to take us too and from Manchester... Suit already cleaned... BUT... Need new wedding style shirt & tie, a pressie that I have no idea and no money to get it with... and the spends...

Any suggestions on a true DFW pressie that would be nice ?

Can you make up some bottles of olive oil with herbs/garlic cloves?

My eternal favourite for EVERY event of the days newspaper in a frame..

shirt and tie - Asda for you I'm afraid! Or borrow off mate?

Spends - the scots way - ensure wife has half bottle in handbag and takes diet coke with her when she goes to loo to top up.

Newspaper - Thats a good idea... I like that a lot !!

Ill pop to tesco later i think, i think they have nicer ties...

Dont think my OH would suit a handbag much, however much he may ask for one everytime we pass M&S!! :rotfl:

Well, a manbag works just as well. Or a hipflask!

You're just SOOOO mean!!!

Like the newspaper idea too
And my OH is scottish and he had no issues with bringing his own hipflask with whisky to a friends wedding they were charging £7 a shot!!! SO if there is two of you then both bring a hipflask!!! heehee!

Oh blast. We are off to a wedding Saturday - eve and night. We have saved up to pay for the hotel (we dont get to go away on our own, so I am going to relish that!)

BUT! I've forgotton a bloody present. Argh! Thanks for the reminder. I don't understand how I have managed to forget that!

Off to boots tomorrow methinks. Have £14 saved up in points and see what I can get.

And I intend to take my own hip-flask for OH. I'm on the soft stuff anyway Boo-Hoo......

Boots should still have photo frames and albums reduced.

Nah, you can give anything you like as a gift! You have to promise not to be upset if it isn't on display in the house though!!
