£10 wife Xmas present challenge!

BeckyC2be

i got a gift pack for my brother yesterday and its for a small patch of land in Scotland which will entitle him to be called a Laird! It would mean your wife would be officially be able to call herself a lady! It was £30 everywhere i looked but i found it for £9.99 on Findmeagift (dunno if it was com or co uk)

Could be quite a funny gift. Im expecting a lot of laughs when my brother opens it xmas day

good luck

What about making a "mix tape" cd or playlist with all your special and favourite songs on?

How about something made of tin since it's your tenth anniversary soon? Something sweet and thoughtful.

Brilliant idea.You could personalise the front of the CD box easily too. I bet she'd love it.

How about taking the voucher idea and twisting it a bit? Buy a bottle of wine, two glasses and a picnic rug (think you could do that for a tenner) and then arrange a date with friends/family for them to babysit - lock it in, get it 100% confirmed then give her the gifts with a note attached saying you're going to watch the sunset on x date and will be needing these items.

I did some vouchers for mrwuzie 2 years ago - he loved it. Things like breakfast in bed, meal of his choice, picnic, get out of the dog house free etc. Glad you've reminded me - I might ressurect the idea for this year.:j

You could buy a frame from Wilkinsons/similar and make a collage of family photos, or frame your wedding vows

I like the chequebook idea, you could have ones like 'I cook tonight' or 'Slave for a day' and more cheeky ones, such as a massage.

The scrapbook ideas are great; I would love one of those!

You could also do a small basket with a cheap bottle of wine, a bath bomb, a facemask, a DVD (plenty for around 3 pounds from supermarkets etc) and the promise of taking the kids somewhere for a day so she can have a day of 'me time'

one year i cut out paper hearts and wrote reasons why i loved my husband on each , i managed 365 one for every day of the year but when i ran out of reasons had to finish off with quotes and put them all in a glass jar

you could get a jigsaw piece and glue it in a photo frame/card and say my life would be incomplete without you

How about combining some of the ideas above together? Since your anniversary is tin, you could get a pretty keepsake tin (shouldn't be too expensive) and fill it with nice things like the home made chequebook (I've done this and it goes down well), a favourite photos of you together, the lottery ticket & chocolate? For valentines last year I bought a cheap heart shaped mold and some chocolate and made little heart chocolates, I wrapped them in red foil and under the foil at the back of each was one of the reasons why I love him, so he got one every time he had a chocolate.
