My friend and her husband will soon have their 40th anniversary, and I've been invited to a family and close friends party at their house. I'd really appreciate any ideas for an appropriate gift, not too expensive.

What ruby presents did you receive which you liked? I'm feeling quite clueless at the moment. Thanks for your help.

There is a rose called Ruby Wedding, if they have a garden with room for a rose bush that might make a good gift?

I bought the Ruby Wedding rose for my friend last year, and so did her daughter. They are on both sides of the path from her patio now and looked glorious in the summer, flowering around the time of their anniversary. Mine came from Wyevale and the other from Nottcutts garden centres. My friend and her husband were thrilled to bits with them.

There's also a lovely nectarine dwarf bush which can be kept in a patio pot called Ruby.

We gave my brother and sisIL a parcel full of assorted goodies that had a 'Ruby' theme. There was a botte of Ruby Port, a curry sauce that said, 'Fancy a Ruby' (Murray) grin, A CD of the Kenny Rogers song, 'Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town', some ruby coloured wine gums and various other daft things.

That's been a great help. Thank you. I'm going to get the rose bush, and a ruby port. I think they'll be very happy with them.
