That really is a good answer. We are in the same position and there is absolutely NOTHING I want or need. Don't wear the bling I have, so no more of that please. I really don't need anything but to be taken out for a really good dinner and his company.

Oh, almost forgot, he'd better get me a wonderful card with wonderful words telling me I am the light of his life!

You can make a reservation and they will do the "presentation" envelope which you can wrap up in several boxes that she has to keep opening till she gets down to the reservation........some of these nicer places have spas , so you could add the "spa package".

This is what's great for the woman who has everything and does not need any more clutter at the house.

Plus, it's something to look forward to. I also purchase and plan a similar gift for my husband's b.day.......he will never do the spa thing though.....but it is nice to have a future getaway lined up.

Believe me, it will be appreciated. There must be some place within driveable distance that she enjoys going to.......for a long weekend.

Best wishes......

The best gift we ever gave each other was our home here in TV. It is my birthday everyday!

This is a wonderful suggestion. My husband and I have been doing it for years. No presents..just plan a little get-away.

Gifts that leave a memory are usually much better than any bling. Tickets to a special event, concert; weekend trip; staying home and doing everything for her for one day. Just let her know you still think she is the most beautiful, wonderful woman alive. She'll be on cloud nine for a long, long time.

Then you should know what she likes better than anyone. Do something unexpected for her. Do one of the things that she normally does and doesn't really like to do, landry or cleaning or whatever. Then suprise her with someting she really likes for example a spa day or a round of golf or whatever it is she really likes.

Default Just a thought...tickets?

We don't do gifts much anymore between the two of us. Sweetie came in very unexpectedly a couple of months ago with pairs of tickets for the two of us to a number of performances around The Villages. He isn't a Mozart kind of guy but he bought these tickets for me, who would never have dragged him to hear Mozart.

Kind of a "Gift of the Magi".

I sure lucked out when I captured that guy 50 years ago.

Default B'day gift

I told my wife she was getting something that went from 0 to 200 in under 2 seconds. She asked if it was a red sports car. I told her no, it was a new bathroom scale.......>Only kidding here

How about professional ballroom dance lessons for the two of you! My hubby did this for me 12 years ago and we are still dancing at least twice a week. Best birthday present I ever got
