Anniversary Present Ideas Pls!

[Smowball]

On 2nd August we will have been married 12 years. It gets harder and harder to find a present every year - he has no hobbies, doesn’t read, is a workaholic basically. He likes to watch sport when he has some free time but that’s about it! Help lol.

[mallyh]

just tie a big red bow around your self....... or treat him to a meal

A voucher to visit the stadium of his choice or the cricket ground , whichever he follows , for a guided tour?

well 12th wedding anniversary = silk, i don't suppose that helps

My anniversary next Sunday and I could do with some ideas, so I'm pleased to see you've posted this.

I don't know what he's bought me for a present, but as I'm on crutches and can't really go out anywhere, he's ordered me a bottle of Dompers 2008 :-)

What are your husband's hobbies and interests, Smow?

[Bobbisox1]

Tell Mr G you'd like a couple of travel vouchers for you and your Mum Lcg, for recuperation purposes, he'll understand hehe

[pastafreak]

A day out "experience". My ex was the same, hated sport, didn't read. I got him a flying lesson. He loved it...talked for weeks about getting lessons.

A day at the races, if you have racecourse near you?

[Smowball]

Some good ideas. He supports Man Utd but I’ve done the Stadium visit before, got him the shirt etc.....

[ummmm]

What about a comedy show?

[LadyCG]

Travel with mum is a sore subject right now, bobbi ;-)

[Bobbisox1]

Oops, with a friend maybe? I'll go with ya haha

[LadyCG]

No, I'd definitely rather go with my mum. We've got a trip to Prague booked for next May but OH has said he doesn't want to go to Kos in September and I suggested I take my mum instead. He's not a happy bunny - I think he's a bit jealous if I'm honest.

[LadyCG]

Sorry, Smow.

Does he like beer or whisky? There are lots of tasting experiences you could buy him.

[LadyCG]

Oh, bobbi, I've just realised how my post sounded. I didn't mean I'd rather go with my mum than you. I meant I'd rather go with her than a friend.

I have the same lack of tact my late nan had...

[Bobbisox1]

Why doesn't he want to go in September ?
( sorry JJ , hope you don't mind)

12 years is silk and linen ... how's his knicker drawer?

[Bobbisox1]

Haha, I never read it as such

[Bobbisox1]

Oops, I meant Smow

[Smowball]

Lots of great ideas - Thankyou!!

[LadyCG]

He doesn't want the travel chaos, Bobbi.

Smow, how about a night away in a spa hotel in a nice city / town for the two of you? I think that's the route I'm going to go down.
