edited August 2011 in All Encompassing Trip
This will be her first birthday since we got married last November.

In the past, I have gotten her Tiffany Jewelry, fancy wallets/purses, trips to visit her friends as well as music memorabilia.

I Need new ideas!

Anyone?

    We are going, but since I never mentioned it as her birthday gift during the planning stages, it would seem a bit dodgy to make such a declaration now!

    Flowers and a big chocolate..

    Now that you are married you can ease it on the gifts. Don't keep it up like when you were dating, otherwise you are in for it.

    Take her somewhere nice in Milwaukee while you are there. Maybe continue onto Chicago or something???? I might do that and check out a Cubs game.

    Trip to South America in November?
    Central Coast Wine tasting and spa?
    ...What about artwork? an original piece?

    hmmmm....a trip to S. America sounds nice!

    She isn't much into wine, but an original piece of art sounds like a great idea!

    Thanks!

    I guess money isn't a factor :lol:

    but the best memories are made with none and come from the heart.

    Write her something beautiful maybe on the back of a picture
    of you both soon after you met, place it in a lovely frame or photo album.

    And then the promise of a day of anything ;) she wants

    Tender is the best gift :D it stays

    are you a crafty person? i.e. woodworker, metalsmith, etc?

    I suggest something from the heart that you create, refurbished, make, design....perhaps a piece of jewelry that you commission a jeweler to create with your ideas?
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
