Ideas for a gift for a husband
« on: April 20, 2016, 08:43:00 AM »

It is our Ruby Wedding this summer.  My husband is having me a ruby eternity ring made, it is what he wants to do.

He already wears three rings so another would not be appropriate and I don't have a great deal of my own money anyway.

Any ideas for a ruby wedding gift for him.  so far I have thought of a tie pin or pens but neither feels very imaginative. He has enough cuff links.

I love pens and would love the gift of a nice Cross pen. Or a kite!
What about a days racing at a local track? Or if into gardening, an engraved stainless steel trowel or spade or garden bench.
What are his hobbies?

Sorry BJ, I can't help with the gift ideas but wanted to say congratulations!
We celebrated ours last November. Long time to be together and something to be proud of
Oh, how about a rose (Ruby Wedding) my sister bought us one, or a tree, or sunlounger?

just about to suggest the same thing, Ruby Wedding Rose bush.  Cant think of anything else, my DH is easy he loves car's and slogan t-shirts, hoodies (as they keep him warm LOL).

Gardening ……….. too late to go to the Chelsea Flower Show  ::) - would he appreciate a trip to Barnsdale where I think that Geoff Hamilton's son does 'tours'? (have a look at the web-site for ideas).  Several garden centres do 'evenings' on various topics, I'll get my thinking cap on!

A watch?

I recently ordered a collage of my hubby's favourate moments in pictures, then framed it. Made a great BD surprise!

I usually try to think of something linked to experience as he is very much into trying out things. A ticket for something? Concert, performance, even a plane ticket to a fancy destination ( you can join too)??? ;)

Depends on your budget. How about a nice watch, you could get it engraved on the back.

Thanks everyone.  Since he stopped work he doesn't wear a watch now but thanks for the ideas.

I'm wanting something he can keeep so am looking into the rose bush.  I have a month or two to ponder.  Keep the ideas coming  :)

Thank you everyone for all your thoughts and ideas.  I have decided on cufflinks and ordered some that are set with a small ruby.
