40th coming up and no idea what I want from DH. Budget about 100 quid, would like something to keep so don't want something too now - if that makes sense. Having a party for friends and have asked for cake or charity donations as really have everything I want/need. Don't collect anything, have everything I need for hobbies and have enough handbags etc Thought about some art - have a beautiful eternity sculpture but not sure how far that budget would stretch. Thought about a silver bracelet but not sure.
Ideas gratefully received

I know you said you want something to keep, and the bangle sounds nice.

I would not discount the idea of some kind of experience though; the pleasure of happy memories has been proven to last longer than that of material objects.

My 40th was fab, got lots of gifts etc. but ask me now what I remember of it and I have only two offerings (neither from DH Blush)- a watch from my mum that I still wear every day, and a flight in a hot air balloon.
