I have a semi-important birthday (65) coming up next month and he wants to get something special but I can't think of anything I want. |

How about a joint annual subscription to English Heritage? You’d get 12 months free entry to Castles of your choice. |

To be honest, I don't like visiting places like that. I am eternally grateful to them and the National Trust for the work they do to preserve these places, likewise,museums, but I don't want to go there. |

Oh absolutely. Regardless of budget, what do you give someone who has everything they want? A birthday is an opportunity to treat the person you love. Could you look for a book to feed your eclectic interests? You might already have lusted after one, but rejected it on the grounds of cost. |

But that it were that easy! Only ever buy books for the content so every one I have wanted has been available second-hand. |

A bit late to suggest this but maybe say 30 items that start with the first letter of your first name some things can be really silly, ( I managed to buy 60 items for my husbands 60th but it took a year ) then the rest on a dinner out to a place you wouldn’t normally go to? |

He is not Mr Imaginative so I would probably have some socks and a pair of scissors before he ran out of ideas. |

The thing is, all those really fun and interesting things will kick about the house until Kingdom Come. Can't find things now because he has put them away! |

How about a model kit of a cog boat for you to make? |

Like the boat idea....what about adopting an animal at a zoo or something along those lines...then there's nothing in the house for you to fall over and you can go see said animal...if zoos aren't your thing I believe there's other more acceptable wildlife adoptions? |

Not sure a real cog boat would leave much room in your house :-( |

How about planning a trip out that doesn't cost much, there must be snowdrop gardens open in your area or is there an arboretum, they are interesting in february (hoping it doesn't rain or snow. As you don't like meals out, take a picnic and enjoy the gold fresh air but also buy a well in Africa or something that interests you. |
