bcp said:My wife is hard to buy gifts for.
her life consists of working, and taking care of things around the house.
She does like to read, and she does like to watch movies.
I was thinking about a trip to a day spa or something, but thats like a one time shot and then the gift is gone.
I would like to keep it below 500.00 (I know, Im cheap)
any ideas that dont involve the hiring of male strippers and such?
BS Gal said:After this post, I vote we all get together and get married to Aps.
vraiblonde said:So would I. Like Wenchy, I got a spa day as a gift for Mother's Day and never used it. I should have given it to someone else but I forgot about it and it expired.
Spa days are dumb gifts.

witchiepooh 364 said:gift certificates are great ....get her one from bay books....and maybe a blockbuster card.....and also a gift card for starbucks so she can go and relax and have her favorite drink and read ........or even a portable dvd player they are great.......she is probably someone that does not want a bunch of money spent on her....simple things would mean the most....or if you have small children maybe one night a week that is her night to read or watch a movie with no interruption...other than maybe to make her some popcorn and get her a soda....order out so it is really her night....and if there is something small she keeps saying she would like for christmas...like a certain smelling candle or something ...get it she is not kidding.....sometimes people think they have to spend a lot of money instead of really listening to what the person wants................
Wenchy said:I still have a $100 gift certificate to a local salon here that expired eons ago. This reminded me of it and it's now in the trash.
Does your wife like being pampered? Does she go for pedicures/manicures and the like?
I personally would not like a gift like that.
Wenchy said:A nice weekend away or special dinner out is also something that I appreciate.
MargeInCharge said:My husband got me a gift certificate for a massage/mani/pedi a few years ago and I never used it. It's just not something I'd enjoy. It's for some place in Solomons, the place near the Food Lion. I can't think of the name, but I'm thinking Tan & Nail? The certificate didn't have an expiration date, so I'm guessing it's still good.
I've told my husband since that I'd MUCH rather enjoy tickets to a show or a weekend trip over any other type of gift he could give me.

That's an excellent idea I never wear jewelry (not even my wedding ring) and even I would love a mother's ring.crabcake said:Do ya'll have kids? If so, consider getting her a mother's ring or pendant (ring/pendant with the children's birthstones).
