Would really appreciate some ideas! We've booked a last minute holiday and DH will be 40 while we're there and I haven't sorted a proper present! Please help!

Could you take him somewhere nice for dinner?

I've booked somewhere nice for the evening of his birthday and have got a few decorations to pack with me but I'm a bit stumped on an actual gift. He says he doesn't want anything and isn't bothered but that just makes it even harder!

So you have any children? I sorted a pencil portrait of my DdS for DHs 40th.

Yes we've got two little one's, aged 1 and 2. I asked my daughter what she would like to get him and she said a swimming costume Grin

He's into most sports, particularly football, reading, music, running, travel. Originally I planned to take him to Paris but had to shelve that idea

Tickets to a game or gig?

What’s your budget?

Tickets are a great idea, @jemimafuddleduck 😁
