Wife is 30 - What to do and get?

[anonymous-user]

I have until Mid April to sort some st out and I have no idea where to start so what better place than PH.
I am fully expecting loads of ridiculous suggestions in the hope that someone might say something good but yeah..any ideas?
Going abroad out of the question too as we have a child who will be 5months old.

Do you have someone who could look after your child for a weekend?

Yes but right now the little one has gone off the bottle so don't really want to put it upon someone else to struggle.

I have thought about a party and of course diamonds...No idea where to start with a party mind you.

Mulberry bag, they're about a grand but will go down a treat and will last her a lifetime.

Already has one. It cost me £1200 with the matching purse.
I still have nightmares to this day.

Depends on your budget really. Trips to Norway/Vegas/Iceland are great suggestions if you are minted.

If your budget is a little more limited then how about paying for her to have a spa day with a friend of hers, then take her out for a meal in restaurant of choice.

Went to Norway last year but with the baby I don't fancy travelling abroad because he's very fussy and it'd be hassle.

If I were to organise a party do you know how much they cost usually?

I'd say something small, probably around 50 odd people but at a nice place in the country or similar.

I've never done anything like this and have no idea of the cost.

We have a 4 month old, to be honest at this stage I'd rather not leave her with anyone because she bawls her eyes out if it's not Mum or Dad (wonder weeks are great), is teething and has a specific routine for bedtimes, so I can understand if the OP is hesitant to do this and go off as just Mr and Mrs for a weekend. If it was us, we'd probably be too concerned whats happening at home so would likely take her with us.

Pretty much that.
Good to see someone who understands!
