What would you buy your DH for their 40th or 50th

[HowFurloughCanYouGo]

If your budget was £200?

I spent a bit more than that and got Cartier cufflinks. They offered delivery during lockdown so it was perfect!

I bought my DH a steak stone for his 50th and he loved it.
Below your budget leaving money for posh booze.

Just bought Star Wars lego for OH who's 50 next month.

Is a steak stone something you put your steak on to eat?

What's the reason for them?

I have the same dilemma for my partners 50th and same budget.

I got DH tickets to see the foo fighters for his 40th.

For his 50th I bought cufflinks which were made from old sixpenny coins. Both minted with the year he was born.
40th birthday was too long back for me to remember 😀

Personal number plates then 39 other presents, some were crazy like his favourite teabags/Diet Coke/sweets/lottery ticket/ running socks/kids drew pictures and I framed them

I've just bought a hammock for the garden (for me really!) and, some jo malone cologne, and a few other little bits. I've organised a local caterer to deliver afternoon tea for us all on the day. Lockdown big birthdays are a bit rubbish so I want to try and make it special

My husband wouldn't make use of anything like this.

He doesn't wear suits of cologne.

He's a builder who likes to go to the gym.
He's so difficult to buy for 😭

Didn’t buy him anything, but did a surprise dinner party at home with oldest, dearest friends, some came from overseas.

If he likes the gym, does he have a particular goal? Could you pay for some targeted personal training (or a voucher for that when lockdown ends)?

I got DH a titanium wedding ring with a small diamond on the band for just over £200.

Back story his original wedding ring is 18 carat gold but like your DH he’s a tradesman and within months realised it was going to get ruined. So he removed it. For our first anniversary I got him a cheap as chips ring to wear. But many years on by the time we got to his 40th, said cheap ring was completely out of shape. So I got him the titanium one.

4 years on and it’s still in good shape.

DP bought himself a new road bike for his 40th and told me it was my present to him 😆

I arranged caterers to do a dinner at ours for 14 of us to celebrate. Was fab- no cooking and no washing up after!

With a steak stone you heat the stone and bring it to the table. You then cook your steak with the heat of the stone at the table.

thanks

Any other tips anyone...?

I got DH a hand made watch strap. He chose the leather and the colour of the stitching. Had considered a leather wallet too.

My OH likes cooking and appreciated a set of global knives for his 40th.

Oh they look cool, the global knives.

My husband got ticket to British Grand Prix for his 40th but was a lot more money x

wemarchon how much? My husband is a massive Grand Prix fan....

I've just emailed the @WeMarchOn, I can't see prices for 1 day, they only have a price for a multi package.

However, I think you might have helped me very very much.

He would love this.

Well i say lots more it's not really, was about £350 for race day ticket

Thanks WeMarchOn for one person?
Did you go with him?
