    3 years of happy marriage...

    ... as the old joke goes.


    Silver wedding anniversary coming up in a few months.

    I want to get Mr ms something a bit special, but struggling for ideas. (Hookers are a given.)

    I thought about a nice watch (Breitling maybe), but someone (bunk? HyperD?) said it was something he'd need to want, and TBH he doesn't really wear chunky watches.

    He doesn't wear any other jewellery, but I wouldn't be averse to buying the male equivalent of an eternity ring if such a thing exists.

    Haven't really got a set budget - more than happy to spend a few K for the right present.

    Any ideas?

    you forgot the coke & champagne.

    something related to his obsession? Dinner at a footy club or similar?

    watches are a very personal thing to us blokes they are like wives we only have 3-4 in a lifetime.
    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

      I want a keepsy. Hoping to persuade him that a few days away would be good as well, but again I want him to want to come away, not feel he has to!

            Pleasant change to see a marriage last that long ! Well done!

            A nice Rotary watch may be? They are not very chunky.

            See this or this

            What is your budget though?

              https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1592...iamond-wedding is quite nice - but looks quite chunky - wouldn't it rub against other fingers?

                  £1600 for a ring ?!!!!!!!! One arrogant contractor, you are!

                  I've had spent no more than £100 on rings for Ms. ex-FLC 1 or ex-FLC 2. Thankfully, they never went to marriage

                    I want to show him how much I love him.

                    Now how do I surreptitiously work out his ring size...? (No butt plug jokes please)
