Lemon tree plant in a box. I think they're called something like "grow your own g&t"

A voucher for a local Garden Centre, John Lewis, or Debenhams.

A voucher for a local restaurant? My best friend from schooldays is getting married for the first time this summer, the day after her 60th birthday, to a delightful widower after a whirlwind romance. So romantic! Both have their own homes & there's no list so we're getting them one of the wonderful Virgin Red Letter Experiences ...so many to choose from though!

So many great ideas, almost makes me want to get married again......but I can resist and buy my own. My garden has a fabulous rose which was bought many years ago for the previous owner it is so beautiful and garden things like marriages grow and need a little tending so rather apt I thought.

Do they have a garden - and like gardening? If so how about a 'specimen' plant - I think this is the right term for a plant that is bigger and more mature. If they are indifferent to gardening but do have a garden, a pretty plant that is trouble free (Pieris?) in a nice pot would be highly acceptable I'm sure, and wouldn't want anything other than watering if necessary and a yearly feed.

Or champagne of course!

Definitely white fluffy towels!

Hmmmmm £50.

Nice bottle of fizz and a chrome ice bucket.

As MawBroon said luxury white towels.

Gorgeous smelling expensive/luxury candle from Jo Malone

Nice Joseph Joseph cooking utensils

Oil and Vinegar set

I never buy things they need ,only things they might like that they would otherwise put to the bottom of the list ,so some nice wine glasses or a picnic hamper or a framed print of their favourite place

Or bubbles!

A bottle of the best wine you can get for £50 'for their first anniversary'

grannylyn65 Thu 04-May-17 10:51:24

Agree with Maw x

Fluffy white bath sheets? (JL or White Company) can't have too many?

I'm going to a wedding at the end of the month. The bride & groom haven't put together a gift list, yet according the the mum they don't want cash but would prefer gifts - unusual I know! They're a youngish couple - late twenties I think - but quite well off. I've got £50 to spend. Help!
