I know this is a bit like asking 'how long is a piece of string?' And that no two people are the same.

I also know that if someone came on here asking for gift suggestions for a 45 year old woman, the likelihood of anyone hitting on something I'd actually really like are slim!

I'm just hoping for inspiration really...

I've been seeing him a for a few months. More than six, fewer than a year. He'll be 55.

Hit me with your best ideas. Thank you!

Oh yes, Bluetooth Star Trek communication device - double points for the Bluetooth, he’ll love it!

Might I also suggest a Lieutenant Uhura outfit for you as a special treat for him Wink

It’s the fifth largest piece of the moon known on Earth, discovered in the Sahara desert a couple of years ago. It was expected to sell for in the region of two million pounds, as a private sale.
I wonder if the new owners will turn it into a garden feature? 🌝 🌚 🌝

Sadly, I would not compare favourably! 😭

I googled it. It is beautiful. Imagine owning part of the moon...

I'm not sure I could stretch to a bluetooth one at the moment - funds being what they are n all. Would be cool though...

I know, how fantastic that would be!
I remember many years ago queueing for hours to see pieces of moon rock brought back by NASA!

If he likes maps, you can get an OS map printed that is centred on a specific place, that would be good if he lived, for instance, in a village or had a favourite beauty spot, or favourite land mark. It’s not too costly either, under £20 IIRC.

Is he into star wars though? I thought star trek was his thing? Don't mix your geeky series up!
