[eleanorsmum]

5 years saturday, off out to dins, dd at nannies for the weekend, time to ourselves so all well planned but!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have no idea what to buy dh as a gift. we're doing traditional, alwyas do, so its wood. thought of nice picture but we're running out of wall space, thought of wooden pen but he's a teacher and he'd be worried it'd nicked! so help! what can i buy oh and have about £20 to spend!

How about a wooden carving of something or other? My local slightly-lentil-weavy shop has lots of little wooden carvings that are fab

Nice tree for the garden? Pref one that flowers around your anniversary.

A hard on?

Bonsai Tree? Symbolic too.

a rolling pin

LOL at rolling pin

It's our 5th this year too- so need suggestions.
I thought of wooden cufflinks so far- booring!

I'm watching this thread with interest.

It's our 5th wedding anniversary on 13th September and I've got no ideas at the moment. Quite like the idea of a tree as Jackstini & mistypeaks suggested as he likes gardening.

I did think of getting some sex toys along the theme of 'wood' . We could certainly do with something to spice up our relationship at the moment!

tree for garden - that's what dh got me, was a gorgeous Japanese maple. Love it.

thanks for all the suggestions!

Tree - garden way too small and he wouldn't really want one!

bedroom bits - not me

wooden cufflinks - got too many already!

so any more

please!

My Dh professes he would like some kind of wood working tool i.e. a jigsaw/sander. Appropriate(ish) useful and manly. I can only apologise that I don't have a romantic bloke who would love a rolling pin to make "you a beautiful meal that you deserve darling"!!!

Umm- DH is an 'absent-minded professor' type.... power tools are way too dangerous

We don't do knick-knacks or ornaments, am struggling.

How about a wooden pencil box or pen holder to keep at home for the dreaded 'marking'?

try here

Wooden photo album with 5 years of precious memories?

Ooh Babycat it's my 5th wedding anniversary on 13 Sept too!! Also struggling - there's almost too much choice with "Wood", previous years were much easier!
Like the idea of a Bonsai tree so far...

tickets to "go ape"

I'm directing someone over here that may well be able to help (clever lady she is!)

I've been making wooden tiles with pictures on. So far have made them for pendants but could also make cufflinks with a picture drawn by your DD. Or I am also toying with the idea of keyrings with pictures on
YOu can see what I did here for Mistypeaks

And it is truly gorgeous in the 'flesh'

Thanks Misty - I should have taken a better photo of the finished tile

WHizzz- they're great! But DD is a little too young to do a picture just yet

I got DH an apple tree.

New wooden number for house.

wooden fruit bowl?

How about a day out somewhere woody - eg the National Forest, or a weekend break in the Forest of Dean/New Forest???

Wooden picture frame with pic of you and kids in it?

Arrange to have children looked after and go for a walk through the woods and take 2 glasses and a bottle of bubbles with you.

Oh that's a FAB idea Thomcat!
