Our 3 year anniversary was last week, shes been on a trip across the country and should arrive home either tomorrow or Wednesday and I need to get her a gift. More thoughtful than expensive but I'm desperate for ideas.
^^ Yup I do this for my wife on many occasions... now days if I do get her something different I can tell she would rather have the spa / massage deal. Plus... when they get home from such outings they tend to be umm.... well.... ya lets say relaxed and umm... you'll likely get a present of your own
I've been married 35 years. It's just another day. Every time you get her something the stakes get higher for the next occasion. Just saying.
We are not real big on exchanging gifts, but If I get here something it's usually a massage or a manicure/pedicure gift certificate.
Hmm to answer that I would have to know something about your wife. If she likes to be pampered like Sota said a day at the spa certificate and flowers as a nice touch waiting when she gets home. Also a nice dinner to her favorite restaurant does not hurt either with a card and flowers waiting once again when she gets home with mylar balloons. Good luck either way and hopefully you see a 4th
It's not about the money , but it is all about her!! Not sure if you can cook but a nice candle lit dinner(her favorite meal) at home is nice once and awhile instead of going out. Some wine , a back massage and at that point she may say yes to some things she would otherwise turn down. Wink wink.
Funny story...went to Victoria's Secret after I got out of class and was walking around without the slightest idea where to begin and a young black lady that worked there approached and asked if I needed any help. I said sure, it's our 3 year and I need to get something for my girlfriend and she asked what I was looking for, I said, "panties, of course." "What kind," "idk, lace?" "Sure, right this way"...so not only was I a guy walking around Victoria's Secret without a girl friend/wife, this girl was helping me pick out panties for my girlfriend. After feeling really awkward like everyone in there was looking at me, I thanked her for her help and told her that I was going to shop around and that I will let her know if I needed any help. As I turned away, she said wait, Phil...didn't we go to high school together? Face palm
Why it's just another day. Neither one of us are that trivial that we need to shower each other with gifts. We buy experiences for each other and our kids and grand kids rather than gifts, toys and so on. We each have more than we need. Every day we get to spend together is a gift of its own. Life is not how many breaths you take, but what takes your breath away. She does have a pandora bracelet and we match up experiences with the trinkets as memories.
What have you decided on Big Phil. Fossil makes some really nice lady watches that don't beak the bank.
I got her an NCSU vest as she plans to transfer here next year and will take her to dinner where she chooses. Thank you for everyone's help
