I was lucky for OHs birthday, it turned out that there was a solar eclipse that day, in South Africa. I did buy him a small 'personal gift' because my money comes from him anyway (some of it as a salary, but not a lot), so really he paid for the week in SA to see the eclipse etc.

A work mate of mine went to London yesterday with a friend, the friends OH paid for her to take three friends with her. Train fare, hotel, afternoon tea in harrods all paid for. Wish someone would do that for me.Gardening ..... begins with daybreak

I've just realised I really am really awkward
Spa/pamper day - horrors! I even hate getting my hair cut
Jewellery - I've been given some for my 40th which I hate and can't re-gift either
Meal - Not bothered: I nearly always prefer the food I make myself at home
London - you couldn't pay me to go there. Brighton though, different matter (and I'd like £50 to spend on fabric please)
£50 of book tokens, or cinema vouchers?
I'd quite like someone to come in and clean the house top to bottom and do all the ironing ... and sort out the garage

For mine, Hubby and daughter were in cahoots and rented a cottage down the road. People just kept turning up from England for the week-end! First, daughter, her other half and grandson. Then sister and brother, then niece and family, then 2 nephews... boy did I blub. Wonderful. Also, I'm not at all a jewellery person but hubby gave me a ring with 5 whopping diamonds on it and you won't separate me from that unless you chop off my finger!!! It was also around our 100th wedding anniversary.
Tiffany do lovely silver bracelets with hearts on.
Good luck, make it special! Don't be afraid to be sloppy and loving!!!Comment

Get her a Spurs season ticket ..... in fact, perhaps not!!
I had Mme P's 50th a couple of months ago. I was very lucky really, about a month before, we had been in UK for a few days, I took her round Horrids, just so she could say she had been, and she seemed very interested in several things. I then went back to UK (not Horrids) and bought her something very similar to something she'd looked at.
It was jewellery, and not something I would have bought if she'd not shown interest when I was with her, but it worked a treat, and she wears her earings every day.
I would, btw, thoroughly recommend the Raymond Blanc resto, having experienced it myself its absolutely fantastic.Bob Leponge

I was given a cookery class/day from my favourite restaurant...
I was thrilled and it was such a fun day - we made about 4 or 5 actual meals; got some great tips from the chef and a masterclass from a butcher.
The restaurant did all sorts of different classes - pastry/cakes, meat, fish, and you could just book whichever one you fancied.Comment

It was my 50th this year and my husband and daughters treated me to a stretch limo to the theatre to see "Love Never Dies" - it was a fantastic surprise and I don't think I'll ever forget itComment
