What to get hubby

**clare78** · 26-05-2011, 06:57 AM

Was hoping some of you lovely people could help me
It's hubby's 50th in July
And was trying to think of 50 things to buy him
Cheap and resonable ideas

His main present is a helicopter ride

Any ideas would be great
Thanks

erm....... 50 things?!?!? I'd go into the works and get a few appropriate books (and some inappropriate

) as they are fairly cheap - its my DH's 51st on Monday and I got him Long Way Round book for £2.99 and a guide to your soul for 99p - both lovely books and he'll really like them.

What about something that comes as a set but you could wrap individually???
(my DH would be chuffed with a decent tool set but i know thats not everyones cup of tea! lol)

A model helicopter???

I did this for my husbands 40th. I started running out of ideas so wrapped his favourite choc bars, sweets (jelly babies) bottles of drink, socks.... you can also get cds, dvds relatively cheap now. Um..... a scratch card? 50th badge... hope this gives you a few ideas. x

50 stocking filler type things ?
socks
keyring
tshirts
books
tools
sweets
tie
toiletries
sports things ( golf balls? football shirt? )
wine / beer
car polish!

Lots of ideas on here http://www.find-me-a-gift.co.uk/stoc...rs.html?page=2

When youve run out of ideas wrap up 50 pence coins for the remaining number of presents needed!

a newspaper from the year he was born. a book of things that happened in that year (if you didnt' do for his 40th!) a cd of number ones on his birthday every year since he was born?

Hubby bought me a bottle of wine bottled in 1968 for my 40th a few years back came in a lovely wooden box.
