In a month's time it is.
I am struggling to think of something as she devotes her time to bringing up the kids and rarely has any "me time". She is doing a spa with her mate and was thinking of something that is really nice...but I'm not sure what.
Is everyone now buying Pandora bracelets???
Sensible answers please.

Does she ride a bike? Handbag? Posh perfume? Bouquet of flowers delivered every month?

My wife asked for a recurve bow for her 40th. Obviously that's not for everyone.

no biking.
handbag.....very much down to taste and I fear corking that up.
we are going out for a posh night to a nice hotel in harrogate and a posh french restaurant so that's a start (without the ankle biters)

looking at the other threads tho, thinking of a discounted pair of oakleys now!

Depends on how much you want to spend but a Mulberry handbag the Anthony is lovely classic and practical. Worth a try otherwise she can get something she likes five it a go. Or some really nice jewellery the pandora bracelets or simiakr are nice. Hotair balloon ride? Weekend away somewhere memorable for the 2 of you??

Radley bags had a decent online sale a couple of weeks ago (so the wife tells me). Might be a bit late now though.

Pandoro bracelet ticks the boxes with my mrs but after the last 2 years of both birthday. christmas, easter, mothers day & any other reason to buy her a present it is now full.

So what now oh yes brilliant they bring out a necklace thats the next 3 years sorted but she still expects the surprises as well !!

I'd go with the Oakley's ๐Ÿ™‚

Damn it, I was going for that.

Night/weekend at a nice hotel without the kids and take her shopping - she chooses, you pay. Did similar with surprise of friends showing up on the Friday evening and all going out. Personal massage each in the room on the Saturday after shopping, before a fancy meal.

I have bought Mrs Flash a "Handbag Experience" from these: [url= http://www.afewfinethings.co.uk/ ]Handbags[/url] After talking to them and looking at the options they will make the back exactly as you want it.

All the materials used in the bags are UK sourced as far as possible, and Stu and Fran both ride bikes.
