  • Why what have you done? :p


    I would go for jewelry also, but then you dont have to spend a fortune, how about a scrap book/photo album filled with pictures of you both and a nice poem on the front page?

    You sweetie :kisses3:

    I did nothing, just felt like treating her :)

    She's got one :p

    Thanks everyone for ideas.

    Ended up getting her a beautiful gold and white gold necklace, with an inset of diamonds.
    She's well happy.

    well what I said was almost correct, they either want one or already have one or two in some cases.

    Sounds as though she already has a special friend ,who she can have a conversation with .

    I booked a night in Geneva,flight ,hotel and gave her an eternity ring by the side of the lake.I kept it secret and told her to pack ,and drove her to the airport.
    Does not have to be Geneva ,just look through Martin's flight article,it is the whole experience ,any foreign city would do.
    I think you could do it for a £100
    £5 flight £15 Hotel £50 ring

  • Have you thought about something for the kitchen? New saucepans or washing up brush perhaps?

    Remember the MoneySaving mantras!

    IF YOU'RE SKINT......
    Do I need it? Can I afford it? Can I find it cheaper anywhere else?

    IF YOU'RE NOT SKINT......
    Will I use it? Is it worth it? Can I find it cheaper anywhere else?
  • saucepan, washing up brush, vacuum :eek: :mad: :eek: :mad: :eek:

    I would hate my husband if he got me that!!! I dont want to do housework as a treat!

    An ideal gift would be a day of pampering ... a day at the spa, manicures, facials and just relaxing for a whole day. May be you could also get one of those photo sessions shoots where they give you professional treatment and take superb photographs ... just to tell her she always looks that beautiful in your eyes everyday day ...
  • What about time! Its free and there is nothing i would like better than some quality time with my man (especially if it was a surprise). We all seem so busy with kids, jobs, life etc that we forget each other sometimes i think. You could design yourself a voucher perhaps. Spend (or save) the 100 quid for something else!

    Good Luck
