    Anyone have any ideas on what I could get a friend and his fiance for whom money is no object?

    A great present to get for someone without breaking the bank is to find out their first dance song and frame the sheet music for it. Really cheap but very personal and usual and I have friends who still comment on it years later.

    A Cuban Cigar package from JjFox.

    They have prices from about €70


    Even non smokers like a decent cigar

    Maybe a painting from somewhere meaningful to them? There was a couple I knew who had buckets of money. They met on the Aran islands and got engaged there and the best present someone got them was a landscape painting by a local artist there.

    You need to know a bit of their back story though, like what places might be meaningful to them.

    Or try to think what sort of hobbies they have and find something quirky from that world. A quirky bottle of whiskey, or wine, or food.

    People with an incredible amount of money like receiving things with stories they can share, something with a backstory or unusual quality they might not have tried or experienced before.

    They also enjoy the basics us mortals enjoy! Decent bottles of wine, good quality kitchen knives, year's subscription to a hobby magazine. Nothing wrong with that!

    If you are gifted in some area, like a craft etc, then something unique and personal could always be that bit special, depending on their tastes.

    Something very expensive but completely unnecessary surely.

    A course of chemotherapy maybe?

    Or maybe a less expensive option - https://www.buyastar.ie/

    Antique auction. Lots of really nice pieces go for nothing.

    You could buy a tree for them for their garden to mark the milestone. Something that will grow with them. You can get trees in various sizes from anything between 20 euros (maybe 5ft tall) to 500 euros (4m tall).
