Present to husband for big anniversary

8 replies

user1471523870 · 15/08/2018 14:27

We are celebrating our 20th anniversary in a couple of weeks and I am completely at lost with what to get him!!
Budget could be from £100 to £300 roughly, but I really don't know what to buy.
Few points:

  • the watch he likes is way out of budget and I have already bought a 'cheaper' version for him last year
  • I will not buy experiences/restaurants/gigs/etc as we can't plan anything for the next few months. I am pregnant and there are a lot of severe medical complications. I might get admitted to hospital very soon. I will not go into details but the situation is critical at the moment and we are both very emotional.
  • he likes technology but that does not seem to me like an 'anniversary' gift...

Any help?

If he likes technology what about an iwatch or similar? Have you got an echo/Alexa? They're really good.

Thanks Musti. We already have 3 Alexas and we both have an iWatch:(

I find it difficult to buy for a man, especially after you have been together for a long time and they have everything they want, unless it is something way over budget like a brand new sports car! The three things I can think of that I have bought in the past within that price range have been - Designer Cufflinks (usually something a bit unusual or with personal meaning), a leather man tool and a Montblanc pen. My DH is also into technology, but usually he gets that sort of thing himself.
Wishing you all the best for your anniversary and for a healthy pregnancy.

I suppose it depends what he likes. For a significant birthday or anniversary I’d want something lasting. Tech maybe great but has very limited shelf life. Cufflinks are a good idea if he would ever wear them. Good English silver/enamel ones are about £200 and he can wear them on your ruby anniversary.

Maybe old tech,Say victorian barometer.

I bought DH whiskey distilled in the year we married for one significant anniversary.
