Ruby Wedding

Neil_Taylor

This is coming up in a couple of months and I am completely stuck for a present for SWMBO

Any good ideas?

Any ladies been given an unforgettable gift?

I have more than enough 'things', so surprise trip, like a posh city break would be right for me.

OH keeps saying that I 'need' a ruby ring, but our Nile cruise was what I wanted.

We had a night in a posh London hotel, dinner at a nice restaurant and a west end show. Next day, VIP trip on the London Eye and Afternoon champagne tea at The Dorchester - wonderful.

Thanks, but I was thinking about presents, we're already going away.

Well, in that case, a piece of jewellery would seem to be the appropriate thing.

I'd go with a pendant or earrings, not a ring which she might be expected to wear every day.

or a bracelet.

OP, if you don't trust your own judgement, does your wife has a sister or best friend you could conspire with?

We were given three different 'ruby' plants for our ruby wedding, two roses and a camellia.

How about a pearl necklace?

One would hope that the OP gave her this 10 years ago!

My DH gives gifts that are 'unforgettable' - sadly, for the wrong reasons. (worst being a handheld games console & 'Brain Trainer' for my 50th. I have limited dexterity due to RA and am not forgetful.)

If your wife is not dropping subtle hints either ask her direct or conspire with a friend or relative.

May I wish you a wonderful anniversary together!
