    It could be a picnic/meal, take a photo.... send it to OH, who gets it printed, and put in a frame and dropped off within a short period of time!

    She might like the afternoon tea idea actually

    Think she really wants a "gift" IKYWIM?

    Ah, I'm not very tuned in to the idea of 'gifts' unless someone actually collects something. There are only so many photo frames, vases and ornaments a house can cope with.

    I've read the other posts now and I think the afternoon outing sounds a good option, what about afternoon tea somewhere?

    Or rose bushes for the garden?

    My brother won 344 points last week
    Looks like it runs weekly from Wednesday to Sunday

    Here's hoping for a similar payout again next week

    It might be worth a google with rose names, there is a lot of different names and one might have her name IYSWIM :)
