Doesn't want house cleaning because she hates people to go through our stuff, but that is still a contender! Little tough because we both work out of the house, so the house gets clean and dirty in a 3 Xs a day cycle. No one has died recently. Her Dad is 86 ex Master Sargent in the Marines and still does 100 push ups and 100 sit ups a day, I will go before him. Her Mom is 75 and teaches yoga and ballroom dancing 4 Xs a week. There is a good chance they will both out live me!
Some body is going to nail it! T316, you come up with a letter from WCA saying my daughter is in and I will deliver the clam!
Keep em coming!
Thanks all!

Does she love the great outdoors?
have you gone to Alaska?
My family lived in Fairbanks for a year and a half. A family friend flies a cub plane into the bush. When was the last time you went camping?

since she is getting a new sink, how about things to go into the newly remodeled bath. towles, rugs, soap dish.
What about a charm bracelet with charms that have meaning in her life. I have one with all my kids, hubby, parents

Bath excessories is good. Charm bracelet is full, full, full. We actually have another one for our 10 yr old girl that she doesn't know about. We add important momentos as they come up and will give it to her on her 16th Birthday or wedding day with a letter explaining them.

Dont know of it was mentioned or not but I got it...
A gift certificate all paid for no matter what she chooses to a day spa. Complete pampering for the entire day, topped off with a full body massage at the end. No woman can say no to that...

Well now I am going to look like a tag-along. But have you thought about making a calendar for here with the kids pictures on it? Most Printing/scrabbooking software will do it. You put the kids pictures as the picture for the month, then throw a few kids pictures in on the actual calendar portion. She gets to look at it all year and the pictures are of your kids so they are priceless.

How about a vacation with one of here closest friends and not you. Win win situation for everyone.

You said she likes to exercise...but doesn't need equipment.
What about giving her some different type of "exercise" lessons such as horseback riding lessons?
I manage a horse farm and you wouldn't believe how many middle age women are so jealous that I get to be around the horses for my job! They all have some sort of kid horse story they remember.
It's different and is exercise and will get her to meet new people as well.

 

[grumpygils]

Her sister is a horse freak with two in Greensboro. Shows every weekend. I need to avoid that financial burden though!

DiM,
I have asked her and she says "nothing". The worse possible answer on the planet! She really does enjoy giving though. She starts shopping Jan 1st for next year. I once bought her a new car as a surprise, but it is not time for that. She is also blinged out!

write her cheezy poetry and put it in a cheezy book. And then read it to her somewhere romantic.

is your wife the charitable type?
main site- http://www.heifer.org/
catalogue- http://www.heifer.org/site/c.edJRKQNiFiG/b.2667525/
heifer international is a charity that lets you give the gift of a farm animal (or animals) in someones name. the recipients of this animal pass on offspring to others in need, and use the animals for food, clothing, goods to sell to increase their income, etc.
last year i gave two flocks of chicks in my cousins' names.

If she's the adventurous type, get her a Sky Diving jump, or a 30-minute flying lesson. Cost you under $200 for either. Unless she gets hooked....

oh a serious note, if she has all the stuff she wants, I'm sure you'd get brownie points for being romantic.

I could take her up flying for you....but if she gets hooked, hang it up and prepare to give up your wallet. You think that tank gets expensive???
