Help! Ideas for SIL 40th needed

9 replies

SesTheBrave · 01/02/2022 11:52

SIL turns 40 this month and I have no ideas of what to get her and my brother can't think of any suggestions either. She's not a girly girl and not into jewellery, clothing, trinkets or beauty stuff and she doesn't drink alcohol.

I had thought of a smart speaker / light but brother says she already has something similar.

Any ideas? I'm thinking around £50.

Why not ask her for some ideas? Then she gets something she actually wants.

"Experience" present maybe? Eg theatre ticket tokens, voucher for meal at a nice restaurant, or anything that might tie in with her interests eg membership or VIP tour of a museum she likes, concert tickets for a band she likes.

Someone bought me a custom pregnancy one from here and it was lovely. Lots of things that don't have to be booze. Can be books/ practical things

Birthday cake?

Thank you for the suggestions, that helps!

I might check with my other brother if they have got her anything and then possibly combine for an experience or theatre vouchers.

I like the don'tbuyherflowers site too.
