This year I do have a plan of what to buy my wife for her birthday but I am always open to other or additional suggestions.
What sort of ideas for a couple of hundred quid?
Not cycling/ outdoors activities related please.
Does she like coffee? Maybe a barista course?
I recommend the Edgecumbe one, then you can tie it into a beach trip/picnic/pub lunch too.
based on your reputation/username surely a reserved parking spot at the local hospital 🙂
I've bought my wife a few of those 'experience day' things over the years. The two she enjoyed the most we chocolate making and forging. Although in the forging day she made quite a scary knife, so....
Definitely go for the experience option happy memories and all that.
If you've never done it go on a balloon flight, you are held a bit to the weather so if patience isn't wife's your thing maybe give it a miss.
We used an independent rather than the big red balloon company it was a very enjoyable couple of hours.

She's so lucky to have you
Dayboat on the river Wey Navigation
Monthly X subscription for Y months
where X can equal beer, wine, cheese, flowers, house plants, coffee, tea etc etc
Is she a Star Wars fan? My bloke is getting an R2-D2 shaped pressure/slow cooker for his next birthday (yes I know, a gift for me too but it is the thought that counts...) I am really hoping it makes all the noises!
Some more trip hazards for the garden ?.
Bandsaw box.
Things I've bought that have gone down well:
A weekend in a cottage by the sea (with me!!)
A camera
A flying lesson
Stuff with sentimental value i.e. wine from the area where we went on honeymoon.
An art print by one of her favourite artists (she chose which print)
A jigsaw made from a photo she took in a sentimental place we had been (she is a jigsaw fan in general)
Some trainers she had been admiring in a film
I sometimes do a selection of smaller presents, ie a cool jumper from her favourite shop, some earrings, a book, flowers, chocolate, nice wine etc. This is good because it takes the pressure off trying to find one good 'big' thing. And having lots of pressies to open is more fun anyway
