wooo.. I got the first post in this topic!

[sara3]

nice :o)

right, we're away on hols soon, staying in a beautiful villa owned by my bestie friend's parents. they're not charging me anything, bless them, and I'd like to buy them a gift to say thank you.

I am broke, but feel that I should be spending about £50 and I don't know what to get them. they are a young mid-60's couple, and have no idea what their taste is.

any ideas please?

[sara3]

Athley, nice idea but if they're as fussy as me... ;o)

jonny.. there's plenty of room!

237, Rioja.. my favourite, thanks for the recommendations.

ws, I see you can get them from a Premier Inn, and I pass one on my way to work :o)

[tiggerblue10]

What about inviting them round for a 3 course meal.

It's a good thread though.

[sara3]

F30.. my heart is broken!

[tiggerblue10]

Ooops! Didn't see that one Sara. My concentration levels are not what they used to be.

tigger, have a lie down, pet ;o) x

tambo.. not sure that's their bag :o)

[welshlibranr]

why not take a token gift of wine and flowers when you collect the keys sara, and then buy a lovely local wall plaque or planter for their garden over there, and leave it as a surprise for the next time they go over there!......

[sara3]

that's a nice idea, welsh.. thank you. I may just do that as I'm having no luck with the restaurant vouchers!

[ladybirder]

What about getting wine vouchers and then they can get what they want. It can go wrong because someone keeps buying me an oaked Chardonnay and I hate it. I should have said something when he first bought but was too polite and now I am stuck with 3 bottles of it.

[sara3]

lol, that's what I was afraid of, ladybirder! can you get national wine vouchers?

[daisya]

Lol trigger, you crack me up lol

[esorlasor]

[ladybirder]

[Gromit]

Did you have a good time in Dalyan then?

It has been very hot I gather. I'm off in a few weeks, can't wait.

[sara3]

Gromit, it was fab! soooooooo hot (not complaining, but praise the Lord for aircon.. or whoever invented it!) but we had a really relaxing break. the square looked lovely. I couldn't believe that everyone we spoke to had been there before.. it definitely keeps people coming back for more.
we saw turtles that were about 4' long from the riverside restaurant on Weds night, absolutely amazing! made our holiday.
I'm jealous that you're going :o)
