Luckily I'd already bought all his other presents so when I wanted to buy a scarf I wasn't sure where to go. I consulted with a friend who suggested I go to the Liberty store in Regent Street as they have a big section in their mens' department, but as I was short on time I decided to take a look at the Ralph Lauren store on Fulham Road as it is closer. While there I ended up getting not one but two gorgeous cashmere scarfs from the Ralph Lauren purple label!
I personally find it so hard to buy men's clothes and Graham in particular is kind of difficult to get a present simply because he's got everything and in twos or threes!!!!
So to make sure I did not go wrong I decided on a few pressies to be sure that he liked at least three of them! Among the things I got him are: an Ipad, a Canon EOS 60D picture and video camera as well as the two beautiful scarfs from the Ralph Lauren purple label which he absolutely loved.
In the evening I'd booked a table at Mr Chow's in Knightsbridge. Mr Chow is one of those little cozy places that doesn't get a lot of press like Nobu or Hakkasan but actually that's one of it's biggest advantages - it's 5***** and many famous faces are regulars.
The restaurant was one of the first Chinese restaurants in London and has been in business for over 70 years! Ninety percent of the staff at Mr Chow are Italian which gives it a similar feel to Harrys Bar in Venice with all the low lit candles and dim lights !
The service was impeccable and the staff are next to none !
After dinner I'd arranged a little surprise for my hubby which was kindly met by the restaurant to crown off the night.
Being the adventurous person that I am, my planned nights out are never without their mishaps, and this one is a classic. After dinner, I requested for the bill, and when I reached into my purse I couldn't find my card, probably it slipped out of my purse and fell in the taxi on the way to the restaurant; but thankfully I had another card with me, which saved the day!
Due to Graham's work commitments, we decided to call it a night shortly after the dinner.
I'm now planning to whisk my hubby off to a secret destination for a second celebration before the end of the year.
To be continued....
