What's the occasion?

Scatterbrain · 03/08/2005 12:57

Bottle of Champagne !!! Best you can get for the budget - never fails !!!

morningpaper · 03/08/2005 12:58

Plants are always welcome ... or wine?

aloha · 03/08/2005 12:58

A plant for their garden, definitely. PPH recommended this and she knows.
An old-fashioned rose or something.

nailpolish · 03/08/2005 12:58

cant go wrong with a lovely malt whiskey or bottle of champers

Janbo25 · 03/08/2005 12:58

nice bottle of red, or port & stilton

motherinferior · 03/08/2005 12:58

Champagne.

I know I always suggest this, but really you can't go wrong unless they're strict Muslims or recovering alcoholics or leading lights in the local Temperance League.

Champagne then

acnebride · 03/08/2005 13:01

I would say definitely plant rather than champagne.

I'd go for an old-fashioned sweet-smelling climber like Albertine?

aloha · 03/08/2005 13:01

Plant! Plant! Plant!
Topiary is always nice IMO. Or rose (David Austin roses are lovely and some have names that might suit - ie her name)
I am assuming they have a garden.

madmarchhare · 03/08/2005 13:02

I think something for the garden is a great idea. They will be able to plant it and watch it grow and blossom like their love , but you get the idea.

aloha · 03/08/2005 13:02

I LOVE Albertine - have it in my front garden and it smells fabulous. Very thorny though.

motherinferior · 03/08/2005 13:02

Some people don't like gardening Aloha...

acnebride · 03/08/2005 13:02

Just like marriage??

aloha · 03/08/2005 13:02

But everyone loves roses!

What about a clematis? You just bung 'em in a pot and let them grow like mad - no work.

Raindog · 03/08/2005 13:03

You could buy them a wedding rose - we got a gorgeous white climbing rose called 'wedding rose' for our wedding and it was one of the nicest gifts we had.

motherinferior · 03/08/2005 13:03

True. I am very partial to the roses my partner grows and am even more partial to sitting among them sipping champagne I realise, however, that a rose is a rose is a rose, and a lovely gift it is too.

if she is pg take her chocolate

snafu · 03/08/2005 13:04

Mmmmm, if they've just been overhauled you may be right. Acers are lovely though - we've got a huge one in the garden and it is stunning.

aloha · 03/08/2005 13:04

beleive me, MI, champagne is always a Most Acceptable gift chez nooos.

I don't like champagne, in my last job (eons ago) I used to get them all the time and give them away. Am I odd?

Nice vase?
