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?
thats a great idea!...some sort of jewelry based on my idea....love it!
I have a wonderful artist named Elizabeth making my daughter a special piece for her sweet 16. she has some nice stuff on her site.

My wife and are have been married for 13 years and this birthday I got her an iPad.
Other times it's been smaller stuff like new yoga pants. Just listen for the hints she gives you on what she wants.
My husband and I have been together for 15 years and he has run out of ideas. I used to get jewellery or perfume. Last year he gave me .... actually I don't remember ha. My birthday is in a couple of weeks and I told him of a cool print shop that sells music memorabilia, so hopefully he got the hint :?
When is the big day? And will you tell us what you do? My husband and I have been married for a zillion years. My favorite gifts are the ones he makes me, like he did a Pearl Jam mobile that hangs over my desk. He used decorate Easter eggs, you know, after you blow out the yolk (yes I'm sure there's a joke there) and then he'd paint little scenes of events that happened the past year. Really sweet.
The Northridge quake took a bunch of those out though.
And you can never go wrong with flowers and a good restaurant. Does she like sushi?
i'm still going with my suggestion.......... it works
Duly noted!
Thanks!
and then you can say...can I see your hands? look at them, say...they didn't do a great job..."and slip on a piece of the jewelry you created, and say "now they look perfect!"
(I'm living vicariously thru your wife...can you tell?)
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.
It's great if you can listen to her and pick up something she says she likes, then get it for her later. I know I have been blown away by some stuff my hubby has given me....that I didn't even remember mentioning to him. Just a casual comment I had made that I like it. You've gotten some really good ideas here. Love the idea of having something specially made that means something to both of you. Good luck, I think you'll do well, just thinking about it is the best part. You should definitely show her this thread! My hubby says a vacuum cleaner or dust mop! Glad he doesn't listen to his own suggestions!

Oh, and here's an idea for what NOT to give her. One Christmas my husband gave me a microwave. A flipping microwave. Number one, we already had a microwave. Number two - seriously. A microwave?

I must say that if my hubby got us a cleaning service for our house that would be the absolute BEST present of all time. I agree with a couple other people not to go overboard because then you're just going to have to live up to that every year for the rest of your life. Get her a gift from the heart

You're right. You are a monster! You are sick! Get help!
At least, I am not a fuck-up! A lying fuck-up!

What's a BBC???

I would go with a spa day and general pampering.
