Help Required - Wife's 50th

[broadway]

Hello All,

When help is required, page the vine

Right folks, my wife is 50 on Christmas Day, I've sorted her Xmas presents but I've no idea re birthday. Any ideas greatly appreciated

[shirlthegirl43]

What sort of things does she like doing etc - give us a start point

Special birthday - wow!..........I suppose it all depends how much you want to spend. As a starter, I believe Pandora bracelets are all the rage these days. I'm lucky in that I have 2 years to save for Mrs BMs' 50th so am saving for a safari come elephant & gorilla trek. What a nightmare have xmas & b/day on the same day.

You think that would be easy to answer Shirl, it isn't. To be honest with 2 teenage boys we don't do much, I have football and the veg growing, she tends to just plod on, happy, however no hobbies.

She'd be happy with whatever I got her but I'd like something special this year, too be honest the idea should come from me but I thought I'd just throw it up in the air

It's been a right year for specials:-

Nan 90

Mil 80

Dad 70 today!

And obviously MRS B 50

Wow that is quite a year of biggies!!!

Well, with all you blokes, sounds like your good lady gets little time for herself so how about a pamper session - hairdo, manicure, pedicure, massage and makeup at the local beauty salon?

For my 50th OH gave me a hot air balloon trip. I LOVED it .... it was a fantastic experience and certainly better than any amount of jewellery or knick-knacks (mind you I am not a jewellery or knick-knack person). He bought 2 tickets, we went together - mind you, she would have to wait until the weather improved - we went in the early evening during the late summer and then went for dinner afterwards. Wonderful, wonderful treat. He enjoyed it too.

Covered by MIL Shirl although a spa day would be good

Scared of heights Susie

I don't like heights either - if we go anywhere like cliffs on the coast or spectacular views I have to stay at least 10 feet from the edge But this was different ... I suppose I felt safe. I know it makes no sense but ...

We did something a few years ago that was hilarious, in-door sky diving at Milton Keynes, all 4 of us, the video is brilliant

The jewelery on here is lovely Fabulous sterling silver bracelets, necklaces, rings and personalised jewellery

Mr H is 50 in Feb and I am getting him a helicopter lesson, but not much cop if she doesn't like being up in the air

[zazen999]

I'd get her....something that SHE wants.

[sorry]

[Glutton4...]

Have you tried asking her?

[Glutton4...]

If anyone wants to buy me a Helicopter lesson, I won't object!!!!
