My best friend is getting married and I have no idea what to buy them. I was thinking a red letter day voucher for a helicopter ride but they are only in the air for 5 minutes. Can anyone give me some ideas please, not dinner, hotel or spa. Budget it £100-£130. Thanks

My BIL has sent our daughter a third birthday card. In it he has written ‘Hope you get lots of exciting presents,’ but then hasn’t sent her a present 🤷‍♀️ he got her a present on previous birthdays.
