Anniversary Present for the wife

#1

Dave

Dave

Tomorrow is my 17th wedding anniversary. I have no idea what to get my wife. Money isn't an object but I have no ideas. Flowers? Lame. Candy? Uh....no. Last year I got her an electronic picture frame so she could upload her pictures. She has turned it on once.

Ideas, people! Please?

What about a certificate for a massage or a facial or something like that?

This is good, get her a full day package at a salon. I assume she would love a day of pampering.

She's....not impressed. She thinks this is a total waste of time and money.

Do NOT answer any ads for a "free facial".

According to this, furniture is the 17th wedding anniversary gift:

Wedding anniversary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Our anniversary is the same month as my wife's birthday, and my daughter's birthday. That's a lot of potential "I'm in trouble" holidays in one month.

I've been married less than a year - so take this as you will. I like the massage idea, but it might be better coming from you - go to the library/internet, read up, buy some oil (in a scent you know she would like), turn on the music, dim the lights etc etc - and spend some time pampering her yourself! (Cheaper too... and it would probably mean more.)

Good luck!

She can get a massage from me any time she wants. But this is for her alone and she knows it's just not my trying to butter her up (or oil as the case may be) to get some nookie.

But I like the way you think!

A night painting the town red? Maybe there's some show you could take her to.

Well.....um....I have to work. She's driving with me to DJ a wedding reception in a very small town about 2 hours outside of Omaha. We have a motel room and after the gig gets done at midnight we're going back there and then will drive back home in the morning.

Whee.

So you're two steps ahead of me, I see.

And vodka.

Man, I never think of jewelry,because I don't like it personally. That might also be nice though. :)

Combine all of the suggestions into one ultra gift.

FIRST you take her to a nice dinner, followed by a show that YOU are actually the DJ for because you made a playlist with all of your love makin' songs. After that, the spa, where she'll receive the works treatment, but what's this? YOU ARE THE MASSEUSE!

After that a night at a hotel full of furniture that now belongs to her. Enjoy a night in a jacuzzi full of vodka before returning to the room where the furniture is now diamonds!



then sell this to old spice and become a better looking dude to really pull this off right.

Is there anything romantic in, near, or not a big detour on the way back from this small town? If there is nothing pressing the next day, it sounds like the morning after your DJ gig would be a great time to go somewhere nice as a surprise.

I only think of it as gifts for other people. I have gotten jewelry as a gift myself, and it is nice, but it isn't something I ask for.

Yeah, that's true. I have some very nice pieces that I wear on special occasions, and I wouldn't have thought to A) buy them or B) ask. A couple of family friends who own a jewelry shop here gave me a gorgeous black pearl necklace for my graduation, and it looks nice with almost everything.

Pfft. There goes my plan to give her a free copy of my first published book, if/when that happens.

Also, I think that super mega ultra massage package thing sounds great.

crono1224

Give her a coupon for one free 'dave massage' add at the bottom "valued at 900$"


#35



Element 117

Shut the forum down/make the users pay for it for three months. Use the money you save to boost your retirement account savings and then show her the earnings.

Or you know, spend a grand on a spa treatment for her.

Couple of notes...

I gave it to her last night and she was thrilled....and a little pissed I spent $325 when all she got me was a $20 cake. She did get us a new set of rings, but she knows how much I hate jewelry so it was more for her than me. The we drove out of town for the gig.

The gig fucking rocked ass. I rule like you would not believe. But there were a couple things wrong with it. First, the place had so many doors that people were going in and out all night. It must have been 90 degrees in there. The alcohol was very expensive so Kerri didn't drink that much. We had the money, but when you've been poor for so long you still look at stuff like that. There was a polka band that played the first half of the night so I couldn't set up on the stage so I had to put up a table in front of it which was weird. The entire place was loaded with people so I ended up loading my stuff in through the crowd. Since I couldn't just use my cart, I had to lift everything over my head to not hit the guests. 5 trips of bulky DJ gear was pretty good for an old guy.

At the end of the night the bride and her family sang a Happy Anniversary song to my wife and I. Even though Kerri was bored she looked great and we had fun. Then we got back to the hotel room and slept. We both slept horribly and when we got back home today at about 11 or so we went back to bed and both slept until 2.

Tonight we're eating $20 cake.

It was a good weekend.

I asked her about the gig before I took it. She said it would be okay because it was in the town of Fullerton, NE where her family is from. So we visited her grandparent's graves & looked around the old stomping grounds. We never have a chance to go there as it's 2 hours away.
