its my wifes birthday on saturday - help me find a gift.

[Ambleton]

As the title says, its my wife's birthday on Friday and as yet the only gifts ive bought her are as follows:

Card
3ltr keg of scrumpy (she's a classy bird)
Big box of Lindt chocs

She knows I'm not the best organised, but at the same time she has everything she needs/gadgets/clothes etc under the sun.

Cheap joke presents may well be purchased (<£30)
Expensive joke presents probably wont be purchased (>£30)
Serious suggestions will be considered.
All other comments welcomed.

Delivery/availability before Saturday is essential.

I now declare these floodgates officially open.

Take her out for dinner?

I bought a pet carrier, and put a stuffed toy puppy in it with an old blanket.
Carried it in and she didn't know if to laugh or cry, she thought it was real.
I filmed it - her face was a picture :P

It was quite fun - cheap too because I took the immaculate pet carrier back the next day for a refund (I left the sticker on)

Blimey.
I hope you gave her something else or was that it?

The Karen Millen sale is now on. I know it's clothing but my wife cannot resist anything from KM. Always order the size you think she is and the one above free returns in any case.

Either that or Jo Malone or Liz Earle stuff. All have next day delivery.

Sounds like you've already bought her one item too many (the card, why bother?)

Relax, no need to do anymore.

This is good advise.

The new Jo Malone smell is lovely and is on my birthday list too!

If she isnt a Karent Millen fan, then Mint Velvet also have their sale on now.

like the sound of this all rolled into one....

Mucky weekend away at a spa hotel with a cider brewery tour...

The Westons tour is supposed to be good (looking online very briefly) - any hotel recommendations in/around Gloucestershire?

[glenrobbo]

A deep fat fryer and a new steam iron. Easy!

Next!

She cant cook - if your in a tundra and you have the option of starving or eating her food you'd rather eat her food. It'll be a quicker way to go.

And it actually hurts watching her iron anything. She seems to iron more creases into clothes than removing them!

I did actually think this could be a good weekend thing combined after i posted but you got there on your own which i assumed you would not been on the tour but i do enjoy Westons, let me know if you go

Cant help with hotels but there are plenty on PH who can who have seen me right in the past!

Spa vouchers always go down well with my missus, she can go when it suits her and get whatever treatment(s) she wants.

...hmmm.... Anyone know if there are any weekend housewife schools where she can learn these essential life skills?

you really need to get two though, most women don't enjoy going themselves to days like these. TBF, I can see their point.

..or go with her?

[toasty]

As something small, how about a sample set of fragrances from Atelier Cologne in Paris.

http://www.ateliercologne.eu/samples.html

They do come very nicely packaged and should she (you) wish to buy a full size bottle, they apply a discount to the value of the sample set.



Failing that, a spam fritter?

What to get your eyebrows done, or waxed? Women like to go with women to these things. 2-4 hours sat getting fking poked at and st flung on your face sounds awful to me.

When my mrs buys me a track day voucher I don't expect her to come and help me change my wets, but I see your point.
