Good arvo! Hope your afternoon’s treating you well.

I need your help—I’m on a mission!

My partner (Blue)'s birthday is coming up next week, and I want to make it extra special. He means so much to me, and I truly appreciate everything he’s done, so I’d love to give him something personalised. The only problem? I’m completely out of ideas!

Got any brilliant suggestions? Share them here (But shhh, don’t tell him I asked!)

My birthday is in 2 weeks time.l've been asked what l want. There's nothing l need or want at the moment. However when you know what a person's interests are , gift cards are useful. It could be books, music, movies etc. ln reality though, all he wants is YOU.

A nice romantic weekend away with you

Here are some gift options:
Ukulele, performance quality
A functional backpack
A Diary for men
Sterling Silver neck chain with a Celtic cross

Do not give knives, watches or shoes as gifts unless recipient of gift gives you a gold coin in return. It's a Feng Shui thing.

What,you see is all of me
But all of me you my not see
For in this world we all can see
That,things aren't quite how our maker intended it to be
We strive alone each one of use
To face each cause in which we trust
Some gain wealth, some gain fame
But most of us just play the game
Best of all is life itself
To feel ,to love,to be yourself,
For those of us,who feel and know this way,
Will proudly and surely find there way

What is his age.
makes it a little easier for suggestions, also interests. Having 2 sons, who are so different, what suits one would not suit another.
also do you have a crafty friend with a cricut or similar machine who could cut names or special labels for a special thing you have just for you or the two of you.
if you have a special photo of you both get it put on a mug or something he would use regularly.

Bake him a cake

How about a helicoptor ride to see the sights?

A really good mystery book, with a lovely bookmark.
I love having books given to me, mind you if he gets right into the book, you will have a quiet day

Hi Seia
I have always carried a swiss army knife, I use the Explorer version, it has scissors, a magnifying glass and screwdrivers.
I find it invaluable for every day purposes.
Kind regards
Colin

How about a chunky silver bracelet with his name engraved, or a chunky chain. It’s something he can keep forever

clogs49 · 2025-03-12T21:12:26+1100

A nice meal that you both would enjoy, and a night at a real swanky hotel with a beautiful sunset, as long as you have time enough set aside to see it.

Maybe a t shirt with both you and his picture on it and something writen on it like my one and only man i love you for ever, or something you like. But make sure its in his favourite colour or if he likes fishing see if you can get a shirt with some fish on it and put on it you were my best catch and i didnt want to throw you back love you forever
