My in laws will celebrate 40 years anniversary. They are comfortably off. My sister is giving them red tulip bulbs and bottle of Port. I would like to give them a gift via Oxfam, a goat or similar. Would that be OK or can anyone suggest a nice gift, up to £40?
We received a voucher for afternoon tea at Woburn Abbey, perhaps there is a venue near them that do the same thing. We also got a lovely red acer tree and a Ruby Wedding rose tree, all very much appreciated.
The goats a bit of a non gift though!
We had a boss once that bought the team a goat - we got a crappy bit of paper saying 'I bought you a goat its on its way to Africa', so we gave a piece of paper in a card saying 'we bought you a case of wine its now on the way down the toilet'!!
Don't get vases or bowls or any type of ornament. After forty years they will have all the stuff they need. Theatre tickets, vouchers for afternoon tea, a selection of six bottles of red/rose wine, Fortnum and Mason's hamper...something like that...a treat.
