..........help desperately needed.............

Its our 12th wedding anniversary on Saturday, which makes it our silk anniversary.

Hubby happened to mention last night that he has got me something really unusual that is relevant.....i am now stuck as we had agreed not to get anything as we are taking our youngest away for a long weekend with us and planned to spend our money on a really great weekend instead.

I went everywhere i could think of in the city this morning trying to find something suitable with no luck.

Tie's are no good...he has loads already that he doesn't get to wear, he won't wear silk boxers and i couldn't find a shirt suitable that i could afford.

I am starting to panic now!

Anyone got any ideas on what i can get?

hankerchief?

Hi Christine

I tried looking for silk or silk blend socks but couldn't find any, i managed to find a silk blend jumper at £45 but as he won't wear jumpers very often it seems a waste of money, and besides i want to get him something he will want'/use :-(


Men!! lol

Thanks for the suggestion Jet...i don't remember seeing any this morning, and he doesn't use hankies....but at this rate he may have to learn, lol

Ellan....pmsl

if you had seen the size of me you would realise that's more likely to scare him than please him, lol

besides we will be in a caravan with a 9 year old so he will have to behave himself....lol

Christine

Mal doesn't even drink beer ...talk about a man that is awkward, lol

at this rate he is going to get a book on the history of the silk trade, lol

Silken thread to bind him to you forever!

One of those silk embroidered cards maybe?

Linda, that's a lovely thought...mind you as i said below we are going to be in a caravan and he is likely to get the wrong idea being a bloke lol

yvette he doesn't have to use it , it can be just a reminder:)

Does he read? Silk bookmark

Doesnt he drink any alcohol at all?
If he liked whisky or brandy you could get him one of those,,,'smooth as silk. blends..

Hi Yvette,
Now if silk is not to our Mals' taste, you could always get him something made of Agate...also for 12th anniversary :0))

Yvette..... Silk (ish ) sheets ? On the bed ? Just for one night ??? Don,t do nylon FGS Static !!!! Worked for me .......Hair still on end ..... xxxx Good luck Hun XXXX

Ellan, lol

Claire, he does drink, but only cider or wine....but a good idea though

Linda, i've never seen a silk bookmark...i think i'd like one of them myself :-)

Yvette
There are some beautiful silk pictures or clip-art in the big stores,or on-line (if there's time)

A lovely reminder of your Anniversary
Mau

Hi Jane, hope you are all keeping well, as for the agate i will bear it in mind, thanks

Newby, i am sitting here in tears, laughing at your comment on static....does it only affect hair, pmsl
