  • What about cinema tickets? You used to be able to buy a "subscription" - but an IOU for x trips to the cinema if not?
  • You can buy gift cards for pictures!! Which is a good idea I might pop onto town one day and see what I can find

    That sound like a great idea thanks only problem is the only sweet shop round here has recently closed down and it's an hour journey into town might have to make it though :)


    Try searching online for Retro Sweet Shop or try ebay (for retro sweets, dont worry their not 2nd hand or pre sucked ;)) am sure I saw one on there when I got all my DH gifts (I did well this year he has everything on his list at half the cost and almost everything is brand new! :D) , and am sure if you order quick they will be delivered in time for Christmas day.

    What about an IOU cheque book? Make it yourself for treats throught the year he can trade a 'voucher' for? They dont have to be expensive either ~ a pub lunch, romantic meal, picnic in the woods / beach / country, night at the cinema with a takeaway for afterwards, a night in with a dvd and a bottle of fine wine and dinner for 2, a night out bowling, a day out paintballing, a shopping trip for him, etc etc etc. ....????

    Or what about an 'experience day' theres a few companies online at the moment who are offering up to 70% off!

    Or just browse ebay for fast delivery ideas

    Theres several popular websites with 'cool gadgets' that everyone wants (IWOOT, Gizoo etc).

    How about a home made calendar with at least 12 photos of the happy times you spent together this year? Pre filled with your own personal dates to remember and perhaps a few surprise ones as well (see IOU cheques for ideas) ?

    HTH
