Apologies not sure where to put this.

Need ideas for DH's 40th birthday pressie in a few weeks. I'm usually good at gifts but this time am drawing a blank.

I got DH a frying pan once. He was being painful and I kept telling him I was going to whack him with one, so I got him a new one.


Does he have any hobbies OP?

Don't crowd Sir Walter, Edmund.
I bought DH a pair of Hermès cufflinks for his 40th, but they're not to everyone's taste.

What's your budget...what does he like?

My Dh would be happy with some amazing red wines to drink or cellar. His 40th was a trip to Fiji for the family.

Red balloon? I gave DH a parasailing adventure over Sydney Harbour for his 40th, it was tandem and just fabulous. He also got 2 introductory flying lessons which he loved.

I turned up to my DH's place (we were still 'dating' then) wearing a specially-bought corset, stockings and high heels with a coat over the top, carrying a cake I baked that day. He says it was the best birthday present he's ever had.

Not really. He likes Dr Who. And cycling although it's been a few years.

What's your budget...

Have been saving for ages so budget is not too much of a worry. Up to $2,000?

That part is already organised.

A hot night is a given! Thought I'd give him something else too.

Really struggling with it. Appreciate all ideas.
