How to give / present gifts? Ideas needed!

Hi there
Looking for some inspiration from you guys as I know how inventive and thoughtful some of the ideas and suggestions you come up with can be.

A long story short, Im going away for 6 weeks for work in a few weeks and my fiance is pretty gutted as we rarely are apart. Although it is only 6 weeks, I have bought her some tickets for a couple of different shows and concerts I know she was wanting to see.

I have obviously made sure she is available on the dates etc. and bought her an extra ticket to take someone along also.

Just looking for a nice way to give them now... I was thinking maybe one every other week or something but I need to give her enough notice so she doesnt make other plans, but still want it to be nice for her rather than handling her a bundle of tickets haha.

Cheers
Saving for our next step up the property ladder

  • cant you hide them (around the house)
    and send her text message clues (a suitable time in advance)

    she may not be the treasure hunting type though
  • My boyfriend did something similar for my 21st but he wasn't going away! At the time we had just found out his mum had cancer so neither of us wanted to do anything for my birthday as it was the day before she found out!! But a week later I recived a letter saying loads of stuff about how he was sorry he didn't make my birthday special etc and that I couldn't make plans for certain dates!! On the dates in question or a few days before I would recive another letter with tickets or information to meet him somewhere and it always said I love you forever and always! He did this four or five times and it was the best present I ever recived not because of the things we did but about all the thought he put into it and how he made it personal to us and our relationship! Maybe you could do something along them lines!! Hope that helps a little
