I have a month to sort a present

**p38arover** · 21st February 2020, 09:29 PM

Hmm, I just realised it's the 21st. By the 21st of next month I probably should have sorted a 50th (gold) wedding anniversary present for my wife.

I have no idea what to buy and the 'net is of no help - they suggest soppy stuff neither I nor Elisabeth would like. I can't afford a gold Rangie - and she wouldn't want a Landy of any kind (she never liked driving the P38A and she's never wanted to drive the L322).

Maybe a signed set of divorce papers would make her happy!

Ahh, maybe a golden retriever? Too bad we have a black labrador. (:

A battery mitre saw, you've got a month to recolour it.

Hi,
Yep, sweating on similar in 11 months.
Ideas welcome.
Cheers

a new ironboard or a new kitchen apron.

Look, I may be a romantic fool but, what about a double swag and a nice camping weekend, or longer, away?

I suggested a new iRON but she said she's has enough of the old one. Ditto with a new apRON.

Pfft! Elisabeth doesn't camp - a 3-star hotel is camping to her!

And book Elizabeth into Pier One that weekend.

Hi

Take her out to dinner.
Do better than the local vinyl table cloth cafe.
Make sure you have a booking as it looks much better to say "I have a booking". That way she knows you planned it and didn't think of it that day on the spur-of-the-moment :-)
Apparently lobster is more available at the moment due to COVID-19 :-)

Have a box of nice chocolates hidden at home for when you get back.
Not Cadburys :-)

Hmm, we'll be in Auckland or Rotorua about then. I had better hunt down a good cafe or fish and chip shop.

I did suggest MOTAT Aviation Display Hall Collection|Museum of Transport and Technology|MOTAT|Auckland or the NZ Maratime Museum New Zealand Maritime Museum but she said No!

I concur. And, say it with flowers. Those funny other creatures don't need megabucks spent - just a few nice thoughts put into action!
