I’ve not ordered DH an anniversary present

Help me! Any ideas? Not aibu just desperate and posting for traffic.

We’ve been married 16years and this weekend is our anniversary.
I’m usually on the ball but I’m a month into a new job with a long commute (what was I thinking?) and I don’t know whether I’m coming or going. I forgot that this Friday is the last day of half term 😩 and of course our anniversary. I know he understands that I’m struggling with balancing the new commitments but no present is really bad. I’m never this late.

My lovely DH has booked two lovely activities over the weekend and has bought me a present.

Any ideas on what I can order online? Or I can go into a shop tomorrow evening/ next evening, etc.

He enjoys golf and walking. He also likes nice savoury snacks. He’s 50.

Love the picnic!
what about a Treasure Trail?

My dh mentioned about 3 days before we went on holiday that he had bought me a gift for our 20th anniversary (occuring while on holiday) we normally just go for a nice meal.
I quickly did our first dance lyrics, took time on fonts size etc, printed it out and framed it (from the range) . He absolutely loved it .

I’ve just had a look and some really good looking stuff on there. Definitely on the list. Thanks!

Great shout. Definitely will get some bits from there. I’ve just spent quite some time browsing. Picked up a few pieces and will finalise tomorrow and order.

How about something like this, you get a map of a city, then it’s like a scavenger hunt of deli’s/bakeries, you pick up stuff at each stop and end at a picnic location where you eat the stuff you’ve collected - https://www.amazingco.me/promo/uk/valentinesday?utm_source=google&utm_medium=pmax&utm_campaign=UK-consolidated-valentines-day_gifting&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22553382145&gbraid=0AAAAACl0V-1bduEEY89ZiS4b2z7wnItAL&gclid=Cj0KCQiAy6vMBhDCARIsAK8rOgkNhfyPdODce1RYrPM9PTZUZ2wv4MppLJ9YgnyWPuhXnB6nLmHxKGMaAg74EALw_wcB

That does like good fun. Thank you. We could do it when the weather picks up 🤔

Love that. A mystery trail in our city or an alternative near us will go down very well.

A blowjob usually works as a back up plan 🤷🏻‍♀️
