I would like to buy for a lovely couple, he is 40, she is 30 and American. They live together in a rented flat with a tiny kitchen. They are both professionals (design/advertising type fields), they travel quite a bit and love cooking and entertaining. In the past i have bought recipe book, top quality cooking oils in nice bottles, leather travel wallets, smellies, theatre vouchers.....

Any ideas please for this year? the guy is DS's godfather. Price £30 region ideally. Can be joint present or separate.

TIA

Or gift vouchers for a photobook website so they can create their own photobook of a recent holiday or family/friends etc
I've used this one before and they were very good.

This is a fantastic board game for well read and traveled folk. If they entertain, could come in useful too.

I had a go of the web based trial game - see if you like it. I'm going to get it for a similar sounding couple also.

How about a digital picture thingy and they can have pictures of their travels, photos of their god daughter & group photos of friends around for dinner. You can loaded it up with a couple of old photos you have of them. I would love my friends to do that for me when I looked slim and lovely.
Or just a couple of photos in a frame of the above that fits their decor.
