Good afternoon ladies.

I hope I'm not imposing here. During lunch, sister has put me on mums net chat. We would be very grateful for a quick survey please. I have come out to buy the item below as a gift for my wife who is also mother to our 5 children. However, my sister is confusing me by suggesting a different item. I only have until 3pm today.

I feel the item she is proposing looks slightly like a handcuff and also rather plain, but I'm open to feedback. She will post a photo in a moment.

Many thanks

Carlos.

Thankyou ladies for the varied advice

MN is not just for mums.

Of course people buy jewellery as gifts all the time. How do you think the shops stay open? Yes some of it is expensive, but would you complain if someone bought their wife a car or piece of art? Jewellery lasts longer. Each to their own. If he wants to buy something for his wife, why not? It's not a "push" present, it's a birthday, not that it makes any difference.

It’s not a key Paloma, it’s a screwdriver. But you know this as you have one (I have two, lucky moi)

I don't think in the real world many people get cars or works of art for a birthday present.

Lucky her. I mean that genuinely. Jealously is ugly.

It's not a key Hmm Did you have your last baby in the portland OP? Grin
Thanks for your post randomer I love jewellery but 18k for a cheap looking pendant is sickening.
