Hi all, my husband has a big birthday coming up and we’re heading to France for a long weekend to enjoy some food and wine (and peace and quiet!) it’ll be our first holiday without our little one (who will be almost 2 at the time).

This is his only gift so any imaginative ideas on how I can “wrap” up this present or how I present the holiday to him?

Thanks in advance!

A nice hamper with French wine and French cheese with a note saying something like, "Can't wait to recreate this in..."(wherever you're going)

A scratchcard/ticket from Etsy with the details of your trip

Have a great time!

Where are you staying ? For dh's 40th birthday I booked a holiday to Ibiza and mocked up a brochure of thr hotel and gave him that with the dates on thr back

What about a treasure hunt at home? You can hide clues around your house with little gifts at each clue, such as a little bottle of Champagne, macaroons, cheese etc & the final clue could be some mocked up flight tickets?

present yourself in a pair of French knickers and a beret and tell him his birthday has come early
A hamper of cheese, wine and baguette.
