Hi

Its my oh's 30th in 3 weeks, I have booked a weekend away in london and a tour round chelsea football stadium for him, but I want to give him the pressie in a special way, I have no tickets or anything, as its all booked online, does anyone have any ideas ?

thank you

just make your own 'card' print or write all the details in nice writing on a piece of paper pop in an envelope to give to him xx

do you drive??? could you blind fold him and drive him there to London, telling him its a surprise then print the nice card etc telling him about the stadium tour and have it on the bed in the hotel etc??

i've used this puzzle maker before for a special occasion. you can choose the words to search for and then when they've all been found there is a message spelt out in the remaining letters (although OH didn't notice it and i had to point it out )

I've just done this for my boyfriend's parent's present. I made them up an itinerary. I did a title page at the front - with a little message and then did an itinerary. I then gave them a page with all the hotel details on and then a page with details of their other activities. You could do a page for the hotel that you are staying in - put a little map to show where it is. Normally if you go on their website you will get a little bit of writing that you could use. Then you do a page on the Chelsea tour. Again, they will probably have something on the website about it - what you do and what you see etc.

Hope this helps a little and you understand what i mean. xxx

Homemade always - cards are so easy and even if you think you are not "artistic" it doesn´t matter. Homemade cakes always a winner - can´t beat someone baking for you :j

My DF does a sort of fake ticket for this, with photos & text he's found online. He's done one for gig tickets for me, Glastonbury for my DS2, one for an Anfield tour for his brother, one for the Open golf for his parents......he prints them onto photo paper & pops them into their birthday card
