So, i've done a bit of scouring this morning, Moonpig appear to do some nice bouqeuts of flowers (rainbow lillies looked quite nice, and girlfriend has approved them lol), and also a 'thank you card'. This comes to about £35 quid, each. (My god flowers are expensive). Now, that's £70/£130. With the rest we can either go alcohol, £30 a piece for some decent alcohol from moonpig, or we avoid the 'awkwardness' of guessing whether they like bubbly, red, white, rose etc or even drink, and just go for the gift cards from a dept store like John lewis or selfridges or that all in one from [MENTION=17540]NornIron91[/MENTION] (30 each)

Happy to take steer from the fellow donors

Yep, trying to get gift cards sorted on moon pig is a bit of a pain though, not sure where they are but my work pc is on IE8 so it's Internet browser compatability is a hunk of sh*t

I do want to do everything in one batch to them both and have them arrive on the same day.

I can get those giftcards easily and send them to you if people want to go that way, they might be better than ones that you can only use in one shop.

Was trying to get everything all in one go over to them haha!

So my idea at the moment for the card, is I can mock something up Mustang related for the front, write a few words on the inside. And send one to each of them.

flowers wise:

https://www.moonpig.com/uk/Gift/Flowers/Detail/FL600215/ > Comes with a vase at least!

https://www.moonpig.com/uk/Gift/Flowers/?promoId=2139 > All flowers from moonpig.



gift card, we'll hunt still [MENTION=17540]NornIron91[/MENTION] can you PM me what deal your parents can get on them, may as well make the most out of it whilst they still own the shop ;)!

All look good to me - I always get the flowers for my Mrs that she doesn't have to arrange - I think they call it "hand tied" & usually comes in a bag full of water so just plonk in a vase. I think either the second or third option best re flowers & you are right that if you everything from Moonpig at least it all arrives at the same time which is nice. Happy with anything really that you think is best - it is the thought that counts.

Unfortunately I can't get a deal on them as the extra money would have to come out of my dad's pocket.

Gents;

Thank you all for the donations so far I'm sure Karen and Stacey will greatly appreciate their gifts from us to say thank you.

I'm currently waiting for the site to deposit the money into the account set up and then will begin ordering the gifts. As it stands the deposits will be made on the 30th March. I'll then order the flowers and cards.
