  • So what do you buy a 40yo woman for her birthday?

    No, not an executive trolley rucksack case.

    I need one from me, one from the kids.  My ideas so far which can include joint contributions from the in-laws:

    a) New Car – VERY expensive plus she’s a “I don’t car about cars person”, although she’s never owned her own car under her name.   Although, is that the same as “don’t buy me anything for Vals day”?

    b) iGifts – she’s an Apple fan, ONLY has an iPhone6, browse on a struggling 2008 MacBook, and has a 1st Gen iPad – thing is, these get out of date

    c) An experience – skydiving? What else?

    Ideas please…?

    Something unique, thoughtful that will be kept for a long time.

    Piece of art maybe from somebody local etc.

    Take her away. I took Mrs S to Paris for a long weekend, she seemed happy with that.

    Hard to say when we have no idea of interests, but…

    Diamonds.

    iPad (the new one that can use a pencil if she so desires)

    Personal Shopping trip with budget to go with it + dinner + show + make a day/weekend out of it.

    City Breaks / Holidays always go down well, which is almost ironic I suppose…

    Choose a destination she’d like.

    I took Mrs Weeksy to Maranello to drive a hurracan for the day, we then did 2 weeks at lake Iseo.

    When we got home I’d bought her a Yamaha yzf-r1.

    Delvaux handbag. Or coke and hookers

    mrs Kilo took me to Paris for my birthday the weekend before last. How we enjoyed being tear gassed and the explosions outside our hotel from burning scooters 🙂

    if you’re married, try an eternity ring

    if you’re a family, try a really nice locket with pics and stuff in it

    boob jobs are good but with the current anti-plastic movement in full swing, you might be better off with a fur coat

    Collect up pics of the kids and make a photo album. I use the extra large 30x30cm linen covered albums from Bonusprint and give the Mrs one every Christmas, always works a treat.

    On a serious note – an experience.

    For the cost of a new car, you could take your other half somewhere truly unforgettable – the Himalayas, the Galapagos Islands, Hokkaido – Japan, Palawan – something daft like the island off New Zealand where the flightless Kakapo parrots are.

    Basically, go and do something a bit out there if you have that kind of money.

    I have it on good authority that Crapfone Whorehouse are about to do a cracking deal on the iPhone X to get rid of old stock. £42/month, 50Gb data and a free 6S. The 6S can be sold to cover a weekend away. I can’t remember if it’s tomorrow or Thursday, but I’ll ask my mate later if you’re interested.

    The Waterside Inn CFH?   Thats a good call, its where I proposed.

    I ready that as Scrotum, which might have been a good call.  Is there such a thing as a Scrotal lift?

    Go that covered, sharing a luxury pad in Barbados with the In Laws in August.  Its part of the norm (Mrs K is Bajan), to visit every few years but the luxury dwelling is the treat.  The pressie needs to be personal.

    She doesn’t really wear much jewellery.  I’m thinking the inlaws can get her a phone/MacBook Air.

    As I get older I go for memories over stuff. I can buy stuff any time I want. I actually can’t remember what I got my wife for a special birthday, and vice versa. But I can remember the cool stuff we’ve done (last year we went to Lapland for xmas, it was incredible)

    If only there was a bloke on here who’d work with you on producing a right nice piece of bespoke graphic art.

    I’m also of the view that somewhere / some experience is better than another ‘thing’.

    Luxury accommodation and open canoe decent and distillery tour of the Spey for example.

    Romantic weekend away. Copenhagen (foodie heaven), Barcelona, Rome, Paris, San Sebastien.

    Day away at a gourmet chef cook school.

    Spa spectacular.

    These have all worked well with Mrs Fat over the years.

    Iceland Spa break thing, that’s all my missus keeps on going on about, that and another baby but that ain’t happening.. Or a week away from you, you could hook a biking holiday and advise here it’s a gift to her as a break from you. 😊

    Apparently this is still by far the best thing I ever bought for a present.
