StevenB Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Is it only me that gets the bizarre requests? Got a customer that wants a nice quality gift for a plumbers 40th birthday. Her suggestion was a silver plated bleeding key. ("not bleeding likely" I thought to myself... ) Can anybody come up with a suggestion of something appropriate to a plumber that might be silver plated or similarly 'nice' looking, okay then, shiny? Looking forward to all your suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 A chrome, heated towel rail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenB Posted March 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hmm, something smallish & gift boxed was the other bit of the instruction I may have omitted to mention. And no, a chrome, heated towel rail in a gift box is not quite right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 in a gift box is not quite right. A "how much" bill? what about a polished brass tap on polished pipe out of a wooden base? Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 What about a cup of Tea and a biscuit on a silver plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I was given a set of silver cufflinks in the shape of a Tap Top one read "Hot" the other "Cold". Still use them and they bring many comments. But how about a Chrome Tap mounted on a Resin or Marble/Granite type base with a silver plate inscription, to be used as a paper weight.
