Present ideas for new business

[acnebride]

Dh's last day at work is Friday and as of Monday he will be self-employed. We're both quite scared about it but would like to show wifely support . Any ideas for a (cheap) present?

[cue Barry White] yes I've thought of that one - anything else?

what sort of business is it?

Nice bottle of bubbly for when he does his first big deal.

I got DH a 'good luck in your new job' card to opne on the first morning, which he thought was cheesey but sweet.
Actually [thinks back] I think we went out to dinner to celebrate. But a takeaway would have done!

(and def with the Barry)

He's a patent attorney - so working for himself rather than a business business

Barry? [gormless emoticon]

how about something (a bit corny I know) like a really nice pen? you could have it inscribed with a good luck message. it will be a constant reminder that way, as he'd use it all the time. failing that, something about freedom (from the 9-5). although having a partner who is freelance, I'm sure he'll end up working far more hours than he did before!!

the Barry White!

surprise, that's brilliant, thank you, he loves nice pens.
