Valentine present for DH? - I'm on the hunt for some silver!

So, Valentines dry day is looming and DH is the type of chap that has everything (within reason - no he is NOT getting a V8 2011 Mustang despite his wishes!!)

The one thing I know he'd like is a decent, chunkyish silver man bangle. I exhausted MOE today..........any ideas where else to try?

Failing that, can anyone suggest any other great DH 'who has everything' presents? Would love to hear!!!

T Are you ladies buying valentines presents? Do you receive from your DH's? x Never bought him a V present... and have basically given up expecting a card for any significant event! Don't get me wrong he is romantic but rarely remembers the actual dates! Anyway he's got a perfect excuse this year he's working in Greece most of next week!

Hi Sapphire 99 Just found card for arabic cufflink people. Called Asar and stall is in Egypt Court, Ibn Battuta. 350 dhms for square or round cufflinks.;)

Hi Sapphire 99 From memory Hediards/Costa in central part and its on the right walkway from there. Sorry cant remember the actual Court name. I am going there on Wednesday so can double check and get back to you. I am more familiar with Mercato. The stall there is upstairs gallery side near washrooms, opposite all the jewellers. Opens a bit later on a Friday -say around 2 to be on the safe side! HTH;)

Got mine a very nice one at Zoppini at Burjuman Mall. Unfortunately the shop has closed down, but there is one at the Outlet Mall and definately in some other malls in Dubai. There was a shop in IBN Battuta, I think it was called Elements and they have some lovely stuff for guys. It's not silver but stainless stell. It looks great and it never tarnishes. My DH loves the stuff.

How about cufflinks with DHs name in arabic? There is a stall on second floor Mercato Mall and also at Ibn Battuta. Different link types i.e. round square. Samples on display. I bought some for my DH's birthday and he loves them:) I think the price was 350 dhms and takes a few days from placing order. Great idea! Where about are the stalls you mention, esp the one in Ibn Battuta.

Thanks for your replies ladies - much appreciated!! [b'>Rudolph[/b'> - brilliant idea! I've had numerous pendants made from the Ibn Batutta stall for family and friends at home ...... love the cuff link idea but think I've now run out of time for v day. His birthday is in May so that one's now on the list :-) [b'>Clairehdp[/b'> - again another great idea, but outta time!! Another possibility for his birthday :-) [b'>Lesley[/b'> - I love gold n diamond park, but think I'll get some teeth sucking if I go there looking for silver.......might try Diera gold souk tho. [b'>Mrs Laughan[/b'> - seems like I'll be heading to Bottega veneta, leather & silver is exactly what I'm after!! Thx :-) I have after work this week and Saturday only to purchase the perfect present ..... if I don';t find it then it'll be a huge corny box of heart shaped chocolates from somewhere like Patchi!! Are you ladies buying valentines presents? Do you receive from your DH's? I sometimes feel we go a bit overboard but his present to me is usually combined with my birthday present as both days fall next too each other.....not sure how to break the habit of presents for V day!! :-) x

Some shops at the Gold and Diamond park might sell silver.. I know certain shops at the Gold souk in Diera sell silver...
