What's a nice 10th anniversary gift for someone?

I'd hoped to just get them a voucher for their favourite restaurant, but they were very reluctant to help me make that happen, and I have zero other ideas.

Considering you know the person and we don't, probably something you know they like.

I do this for birthdays but you could do it for this, I get a newspaper or a something from that day. For my brother's 50th I him got a first day cover commemorating Ford pardoning Nixon which happened the day he was born.

buy an experience rather than a thing i reckon

Is giving people gifts for their anniversary a thing? Never given, recieved or seen anyone else give/receive a anniversary gift before.

I gave my best friend’s parents a present for their 40th anniversary but they had a celebration for it.

Totally get it if it's a party.

Prepared to be wrong here btw. I think it's weird that my parents wish my wife and I a happy anniversary. Always just assumed it was between the couple.

Thoughts on the below?

I just pulled into a local park as I had 3000 steps or so left to do, and I was minding my own business, walking along listening to a podcast. LOTS of people walking their dogs.

A nearby couple (couple a) were walking their puppy and accidentally dropped the lead, the puppy charged over towards another couple that were slightly ahead of me (couple b) in a typical excited puppy jump around situation, however the wife of couple b clearly did not like dogs, or had not had much interaction with dogs and was clearly scared, her partner tried protecting her and kicking at the dog and then let rip screaming at couple a, saying don’t scare my wife, etc. Couple b’s assumed husband joined the screaming match after grabbing the lead and essentially yelled back ‘THIS IS A DOG PARK, IF YOU DONT LIKE DOGS, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!’. I did dawdle to the side as I thought it might turn physical and I’d have to break up the old blokes. Couple a ended up angrily leaving the park by the gate next to them.

Now it’s not a dog park by title, but it is an off lead park, and while you are meant to be able to recall your dog, a puppy does have to be in these environments to learn.
I did chuckle when I drove past both couples walking the same way home about 10 minutes later, about 150m apart.

A lot of over reaction all round.

Kicking a dog pretty low act .

Really don't understand people are really scared of dogs .

People come down to the off lead dog beach who are scared quiet a bit .

 

[rocker_oz33]

If you're that terrified of dogs that you're going to be screaming and kicking at it, then don't go to a place where you'd reasonably expect dogs to be.

People are silly sometimes.

Well some people are, you don't really need to understand just accept it. That said not sure why you'd go to an off leash park if you are, that doesn't make sense.

I was down the local (on lead) park a few weeks back with my son's cricket team getting some practice in, plenty of owners just letting their dogs run around and not giving a ****. I think dog owners have gotten worse since COVID in terms of monitoring of their animals in public.

Anyone know what these are?

Probably shouldn't be going to an off-lead dog park for a walk tbh.

But couple B probably should not have reacted that way either.

I am sure there are things you are scared of that people 'don't understand'.

Why would you be in a dog park if any kind if you're shit scared of them?
