Wife's 40th birthday. What to do/buy?

Or leave in until the last minute in which case it's a tin of barley sugars. a travel blanket and 5 litres of Castrol GTX.

get some fresh flowers that are tied to a lampost.

I am the worst at buying gifts or coming up with romantic or adventurous ideas.

So - with some degree of seriousness to this request - what have you bought (for your partner) or done (for your partner) for major milestone birthdays?

Flowers and a weekend away worked for the 40th. Got the next big one in a couple of years though...

I try to avoid doing stuff on my birthday, it always seems to be way more important to other people than it is to me.

Then pretend it's a clue for a trip away.

I'm guessing for your 40th, the clue was a man carrying a red flag in front of the motorised conveyance.

A big balloon with 40 on it.

It always goes down well.

Take her somewhere exotic.

...Maybe the Balti Palace on the High Street.
