Posted in chat for traffic.

Dh will be celebrating a milestone birthday while we are away in Lanzarote next week with our 4 primary-aged kids. Things have been super busy the last few weeks, and I've not had a chance to even think about a gift, and it's too late now to order anything online as it won't be delivered in time for our departure.

I was thinking of maybe a nice excursion or something similar to celebrate. The trip was booked with his birthday in mind, and we have already booked a few day activities. Not adverse to something adventurous, but we need to bear in mind that we have the kids with us.

We're not really into drinking or partying, and we'll be eating out for the week regardless, so going for dinner is a given.

We'll have a nice meal with his family when we return, so that base is already covered.

Budgie smugglers? Small and useful.

“Blowjob” was my DP’s answer. To be fair that’s his answer to a lot of things.

Notwithstanding this, is he sporty? There are all sorts of sporty spa type things at La Santa on the north coast.

Boat trip. And a voucher for a nice restaurant near home on your return (if you can get babysitters).

day trip to Fuerteventura?

Ride on those shitty camels which spit?

Your DP sounds like a sleezy sex pest.

Spot on , it's lovely.
I also did stargazing in a very small group (8 in a minibus) which was fabulous. Glass of bubbly watching the sun set, then stargazing. Very cold, but very special.
Or, book a seafront restaurant and just have a wonderful meal. Where are you staying in Lanzarote?

Oooh, or a walk on the lavafields.
It was spectacular. Take a bottle of bubbly in a backpack with plastic glasses to celebrate at the top😁

I did this last year, loved it! I drove the trike with my 70yo dad as my passenger 😂
