Mumsnetters are the cleverest and most resourceful people on the interweb - please help me with a JOINT 40th present

[champagnesupernova]

More acquaintances than friends so no real tips into their life other than they have youngish children between 1-8.
Budget £30-£50 I suppose?
Thanks in advance

needy bump

It's a couple right?

Sorry yes it is a couple
at being needy and bumping and not actually giving who it was for..

It depends on whether you wanted to get them something to keep... otherwise, maybe a "night in" hamper given that they have a young children? Video/bubbly/cheeses/chocolates/candles?

I like Lilo's idea.

Earrings and cuff links -maybe with similar motif on.

Vouchers for restaurant or theatre (if they have access to babysitters)

Some nice wine with book on wines.

Set of solar fairy lights for garden ( yes, rather random, but I love these!)

If all else fails you probably can't go wrong with a bottle plus vouchers for John Lewis, Debenhams or M and S and they can choose something they want.

Card with a slip of paper that reads "good for one evening of babysitting, to be taken at your convienence". If you're flush, offer voucherse as per treesprite's suggestion, too.
