hey guys! after spending 3 hrs looking for something special i have found nothing!

i need to get a present for my fiance and its really tough because i don't want to buy clothes, jewellery he doesn't wear so its pointless...when i ask him what do you want he says nothing i have you and thats fine, i bought him hugo boss cufflinks a few months ago and he shouted but now ive made him understand that he has 2 accept my gifts, so he said ok buy anything thats special and something i can have forever and remember you buy!

i was thinkin of engraved crystal with perhaps our names or a sweet poem but i don't no of any places or shops! im from the UK by the way ive tried google and maybe my search is too wide but i can't find anything!

i jave been to H Samuels 2day but they don't have the crystals sooo...anybody no where i can get it from??

also any other gift ideas would be appreciated!!

thanks a lot guys mwah xx

How about one of those 'experience days'?? i see you're in the UK, and over here there's stuff like hot air balloon rides, extreme supercar race days (where he gets to be the passenger), rock climbing, paragliding, sky diving (or indoor skydiving if he is faint hearted).... the choice is UNREAL!!!!! I prefer to surprise my hubby with these kind of things once in a while... it's so hard to shop for men's gifts as everyone just thinks 'watch, cologne, clothes'.... so this is a little different and he may go for it if he has a little daredevil in him

Red Letter Day. http://www.redletterdays.co.uk/Home

Or get him a HUGE Millies cookie with his name written on it. They are SO cool, he'd wet his knickers!

For Crystals try Swarovski.

Red letter days!! That's what i was talking about in my post... thanks Milly!

(PS: is red letter days the company that was on dragon's den????)

Milly

I think so, I cant remember, but it does vaguely ring a bell. Hmmm

aaaaaw thank u!! wel 2day iw as tlkin2 him n trying 2 investigate! crystal is out d question he'd prefer sumtin like that in OUR house probs dont trust his own family!! hmm experience days sounds good only prob is do they have liek an expiry date! he studies durin d day n works durin nights weekend he runs the family shop so hes really hard workin! if its not got an expiry dat he can plan and arrange it his way! hmmmmm ne more ideas???

hw abt givin cash?? because u see his situation is really odd!! his birth parents live in pakistan, he lives with thaaya n thaayee so they do giv hima hard time because he isnt really there son i find it odd as he pays the bills well half and still he washes his own clothes n irons but they cook 4 him wich is ok...and hes savin for a house and so even if i gave him cash n made it clear that i want u 2 save it cus i no he jus wants 2 save too!! but i jus felt that thats me not bein bothered by givin cash!?? is that the impression i'[d giv?

Milly

I dont think the Red Letter Days have an expiry date, but im sure you could call and ask.

He could probably use the money a bit more now that you have mentioned his situation, however, he sounds like he needs a good day out. I bet he would just love a nice chilled day with good food and ice cream where he doesnt have to worry about anything. Sometimes a few precious moments are all we need.

Wow, I am having a gay day today! Lovely.

aaaaaw Milly!! great!! u no ur soo clever! he ha sbeen workin hard and thats soo tru he doe sneed a break and all!! how thick i didnt even think of that!! only prob is i need somethin around birmingham..because of travel ive chekd d red letter and they are quite far out so i mite jus go in2 boots and see what they do! or argos catalogue i was told does a few!! all depends on location now!

Milly

You know some people say im the 'cleverest person in the world' but you know, only some people say that!

A good day out doesnt even have to be a red letter day, it could be go karting, paint ball thinging, or even that laser quaser stuff, depends on what kind of guy he is. Or, take him out for a picnic! with jam sandwiches and cake...aww man, everyone loves cake!

They have a lot of interesting gifts for both men and women at Things Remembered, and you can get everything engraved or embroidered. I'm sure you will get an amazig idea there!

Personalized Gifts for Him at Things Remembered

This site also has great ideas:

Gift Ideas for Him, Gifts for Men, Gifts for Husband, Father's Day Gifts

While you are at it, you should take some memorable pictures of both of you together and frame them with something saying "Now and forever" or "Today and always" or something like that.

It would help if you know about his hobbies.
