Ideas for birthday present for seriously stressed-out DH please!

[franch]

Budget around £40ish - could stretch to a wee bit more. Thinking of a voucher for the Refinery (men's pampering place), but have got him that before so if anyone can think of anything more original .....? (We're in London.)

Some very cool boys toys here

what about a ticket to a football game

There's some very funny stuff on that site cazzybabs - not sure he's really a gizmo guy really though, he'd have to be convinced it was really useful! The football thing's possible np ... although I'm not sure I know enough to pick the right game!

you might have done it before but if he's stressed out then a bit of pampering at the refinery may be just what he needs.

if hes like my dh and not really a supporter of a specific team (just watches every single one) then any game would do

i think the big teams are dearer though, about £60 ticket

May well stick with that, zubb ....

He's a Spurs fan, np, but follows all the big teams - isnt it difficult to get tickets for the big matches?

och maybe it is. just a nice thought, maybe too difficult to arrange. what about a boxing match? all that shouting might destress him! or horse racing, LOADS of fun, stock car racing (my personal fave) lots of mess and carcrashing to WOOOO to

would you be going too?

Hadnt thought of picking something where I could go too - depends on the thing and on the cost. Maybe I should get us some couple pampering ... just to keep him company, you understand

bet he would love it if you went too

Magnetix are great stressbusters (magnetic balls and sticks you put together). Buy some lovely bubble bath and candles - get in bath with him and give him a lovely massage - and listen to all the things he's worried about without interrupting - then give him a gorgeous bottle of wine and help him drink it!!

what about 3 or 4 pink slips? (pink slip in our house means permission to go out and do whatever you like and leave the kids and housework etc for a day or evening). Didn't someone here's wonderful DH give her a calendar for Christmas with nights out etc marked?

great idea franch - you can go and keep him company, have a facial / massage and then go somewhere great for lunch - all for him of course!

if you like the sports event thing - whsmiths do voucher packs to use to buy tickets for sports events through ticketmaster - then he can choose. Got this for dh for christmas.

Will look into that Hazel, thanks
