My best friend and her husband will be celebrating their Ruby Wedding Anniversary on Saturday and I have no idea what to but them. Does anyone have any tips please? Thanks Lynne

When it was my parents' Ruby anniversary a few years back, the trend in garden furniture turned briefly from green to burgundy - so I bought them a table and chairs for their patio! You don't see this colour now but you could still get them a pair of garden or conservatory 'recliners' with covers in a shade of red. The other suggestion I have is to get them a piece of antique glassware - I've seen a great deal about 'cranberry' glass and it's a lovely shade. You might find a nice piece in an antique shop. Let us know what you decide on! Mandy :)
