Gift for partner ~$750

Have a birthday/5 year anni coming up.
Have saved a bit of cash for something good, was going to buy a diamond bracelet from Blue Nile but the sale ended and I hate paying full price.

Any suggestions?

We save our sentimental gifts for Christmas and we buy each other superficial things for bdays.

Any suggestions appreciated. Thank you.

Also note I'm spending a little more than normal but I still hate paying full price so any deals suggestions is a major bonus.

Thanks my ozb friends.

    It's engagement ring time

    But this is also anniversary? I’m sure some sentiment can creep in for this one

    Take her to a strip joint

      I was driving in Melbourne the other day and saw this advertised:

      It's only $44 per head, so you'd have ~$650 to then spend on yourself.

      Which woman doesn't enjoy dinner and a show?

        how they did not just name it "SchnitzNTits" is beyond me

          Or "Snitties N Titties"… They've missed a gem in the naming.

          I dunno, rhyming can make it sound gimmicky.
          A good product can speak for itself

    Does she have an old phone?
    Sign up to one of JB hi-fi's plans to secure a brand new Huawei P30 or an Oppo 10x Zoom.

    Give her $750.

    Put the $750 into bond/shares/gold and show her the Statement, tell her how much you love her and how she is the perfect partner for you, an avid Ozbargainer, as she appreciates that love and thrift are the corner stones to a long partnership.

    Cash.

    I bought my wife a Sylvester Stallone t-shirt to wear to the gym. Save yourself $741.

    This is ozbargain.

    We limit ourselves to $50 maximum and the rest goes in the mortgage.

    I would suggest you spend the time and effort and make something hand made

  • Surprise flight to Sydney for the weekend and watch Chicago the musical.

  • What does she like? Technology, travel, craft, plants, clothes, jewellery. Heaps of ladies are really into Kmart and would love a kmart voucher too.

    I like atomics idea of Philippines holiday the best.

    You can also book a cruise (you can often get deals for a 3 days cruise around the $300-400 mark per person).

  • Put the $750 into her super account

  • Go to a jeweller in your area (not franchise e.g michael hill - they are rip offs) and pick something. you can get a cheap ring & watch with under 1k. Don't be a tightass otherwise you'll hear about it for the rest of your life.

  • $750 worth of magic beans

  • Instant scratchies

  • The smart way is go to your local pawn shop knowing the gold price go through the stuff going to smelters and pick your pieces just above gold price . Or go to the many auction selling diamonds at 10% -20 % of Valuation certificates . Diamonds are th biggest BS market going around :)

  • Wife just advised lotions from the cosmetic brand “La Mer” - looks expensive and anti-ozbargain but seems to be very popular.
