What did your partner/husband get you for your 40th

[hopingtobedally]

As above thank you

A Gucci handbag and dinner in a Michelin starred restaurant

A trip to Philiadelphia and Las Vagas....was an amazing trip and spent my birthday at the Grand Canon.

Hmmm some of you live in a very different world to me!!! He got me a set of le cruset pots (second hand) which I love, a down jacket and something else small I can't remember. We had a very casual party at our local curry house with all of our friends and loads of kids running about.

For his I got him an inflatable kayak, a weekend away in the UK and we had a mega party but that was before DS.

Happy with my lot but some of you have very extravagant birthdays

I got a Bose sound dock. Something we'd discussed getting as a family, not a personal gift. It ended up in the kitchen and our DDs used it most of the time. I listen to music all the time, but via headphones - not out loud.

It felt really impersonal, to be honest, and whilst I smiled, I felt my heart sink just a little bit .

Gold watch and a trip to Paris. This was 15 years ago though!

Spa stay, sapphire and diamond earrings, flowers and cupcakes.

A night away in a posh hotel and dinner at Monica Galleti's (sp?) restaurant.

Box of chocolates. He's exP now!

A DSLR camera. I love it so much - it's brought me hours and hours of pleasure over the years.

We went to Vegas but can't recall a specific gift other than the actual day which was helicopter ride with champagne breakfast at the Grand Canyon, shopping and then meal at Gordon Ramsey's and Carrot Top comedy show.

A trip to New York and a new desk.

A garden bench ( my request ) Also involved resiting of a rose and laying some paving so not just a purchase.

Wow, some very generous gifts here!

I had a meal out with my family and a spa day with my best friend.

We did talk about booking my first ever holiday abroad, a weekend city break somewhere later this year. Then COVID happened and I’ve lost my job so unlikely to afford to do that until my 50th now!

My DH was so sick with cancer, but he managed his chemo around a wonderful cottage break for the two of us. he was so unwell. Nine years on he’s still here.

Nothing. I think we went somewhere for lunch. We don't really bother with presents for adults as he'll buy me whatever I want/need when I see it.

A weekend at Maison aux Quartre Saison and my first mobile phone!

Necklace, a gorgeous jumper, flowers and a requested silk nightie. He was going to organise a party but COVID has got in the way...I’m told we’ll have it next year!

A trip to Paris (although that was also our honeymoon) and a new suspender belt (not in a pervy way - I prefer stockings to tights and I needed a new one)

Nothing..we are now divorced

That's amazing all im so glad he's still here

Such a shame some perfectly healthy men makes such little effort

I don't remember. Not with him anymore.

2 Take That coffee table books...

A lovely necklace from a shop I like called Rosie Brown.
It's his next year and I haven't got a clue what I'll get him.

We went to the Affordable Art Fair and I chose a print that hangs in our bedroom
