Ruby anniversary present

[frias]

Can anyone suggest something I can give my husband for our ruby anniversary? I've only got a month to go now and can't think of anything.

for my in-laws golden anniversary i did a golden hamper (obviously youd do a red one) and put in wines/food/tins/jars/cd,s/ anything i could find which was either gold coloured or had gold in the name... they loved it and it took ages for them to unpack and if you leave it till after this weekend they'll be reducing all the valentines stuff which will be red and romantic!!!!

or a piece of jewellery with a ruby in it?

OK.......I'll bite! how many years is Ruby? And considering this is posted in the chook section can we assume it has to be chook related?

No not chook related (they are mine) I thought I had posted this elsewhere but it ended up here.

My parents managed 54 years. For their Golden anniversary we all found our way 'home' for the party (and that takes some doing from Orkney to Hayes!) and each found them something with gold in it. I got them a small flower vase, black glass with a bit of real gold leaf embedded in it. One of the neighbours who does cakes made them a wedding-type cake, but iced in yellow instead of white.....

What you get a husband for 40 years depends what he likes. Hobbies? Special eats? Or perhaps a signet ring, if he is likely to wear it.

PS, can anyone remember what 35 years is? next year.......

One of my sisters celebrated her Ruby anniversary with a bottle of home-made wine, an elderberry wine 8 years old, the last of the batch.

How about a rose - there are loads with special names - There's a rose called Ruby Wedding. David Austin have it - and they are seling them bare rooted at the moment (up till April) so it wouldn't be so heavy on postage.

Packet of tomato seeds - Tropical Ruby?

PS - just realised it's ours in 18 months!
