It is our Ruby Wedding anniversary in November, and we had planned a city break to celebrate. We booked a hotel in the UK, as going abroad seemed unlikely to happen, but now that has also been cancelled.
I am feeling quite sad at the prospect of the virus going on until spring, if we are lucky, and disappointed at the cancellation of the break.
I would like to buy a nice present for my husband instead, but I am a bit stuck about what to get. I'm not keen on getting anything decorative for the house, as I keep promising myself that I'll declutter and get rid of a lot of 'stuff' - I'm not looking to accumulate more. Foodie presents are difficult, too - my husband is vegetarian, and also type 2 diabetic, so between those things, a lot is ruled out.
He does like an occasional drink, and the fallback could be a really nice bottle of port, but I don't drink, so it would be a bit of an unsociable present, plus he's recently had a birthday, and got 4 bottles of single malt whisky, which is his tipple of choice.
Does anyone have any ideas, please? I know it's difficult without knowing him, but as he won't be able to go out anywhere for at least a month, a lot of things seem a bit pointless, such as 'experience' presents.
He's never been materialistic, so things like jewellery would leave him cold. He has a decent watch and a wedding ring, but doesn't wear anything else of that sort. Lockdown means he doesn't need new clothing, and clothes don't really interest him anyway.
I always struggle with Christmas presents, and obviously there is that coming up too 
. I would like whatever I get for the wedding anniversary to be something special, as 40 years of marriage doesn't come round very often!
Any ideas would be gratefully considered, if anyone has them. The budget is flexible, as he won't be expecting anything, so a small but thoughtful gift would be appreciated, but at the same time I was expecting to pay for a hotel break, so could push the boat out a bit for the ideal idea.
Thanks in advance if you can make any suggestions. I know it's a tall order, but that's why I'm asking 
.
