Need Anniversary Gift Ideas

[cabinetman]

We will be celebrating out 10th on Thursday, but been together for 19 years. She doesn't want more jewelry. I'm stumped. Any suggestions?

Would she be one to like a day long spa package?

[LCHIEN]

something where you spend time together - something like a dinner and a show ( a play or musical not movie!) with some nice seats.

Something in a late-model Benz, perhaps?

After 10 years with my wife, I got her a new vacuum cleaner and a frying pan.

She promptly "customized" the pan by putting my likeness embossed in it.

Seriously, if you can afford the money and time, I would recommend a bed and breakfast in a neighboring county. maybe a few hour drive away. Do things and see things that you always meant to, but never got around to. That should make for some good memories.

Decent restaurants aren't always the highest priced establishments. Keep that in mind.

Top it off with a foot massage. And not just moving your hands across them, but really working out some stress.

Just my 2 cents.

Just DON"T get her a vacuum cleaner.

Just DON"T get her a vacuum cleaner.

Oops... Maybe that was her issue?

[cabinetman]

I've put a lot of thought into what to get or do. We always go out for a nice dinner. A personal gift does make sense in lieu of a vacuum cleaner. She's been wanting her own .357, and once asked "What's an AK47?" Heck, I would have to be good all the time.

I will have to come up with something because I found a nicely wrapped gift she hid.

A .357? I Like her already!

For our 25th, I got my late wife a gift certificate to her favorite clothing store. She got me a decent watch and put the lyrics of Jim Croce's "If I could save time in a bottle..." song in with it. It didn't mean as much to me at the time as it did last year a month or so after she graduated to heaven.

I would go with an experience - bed and breakfast, a show she's always wanted to see, a day or two of shopping somewhere (if she's into that), that kind of thing.

[RAFlorida]

I also would suggest

a bed and breakfast. That way you could place her gift (.357) under the pillow!

[cabinetman]

A Bed and breakfast. That's been suggested four times. You guys think alike. I'm assuming that would be for two.

I think the overnight (or weekend) getaway at a B&B is a really good idea. We've done that a few times, and always enjoy it.

[crokett]

In addition to the B&B, or maybe intead of, think of something she likes to do that you do not. My wife loves to shop. Shopping puts me in severe emotional distress. One of the best gifts I ever gave her was a pre-kids trip to FLA where we spent 2 days shopping. Not because we went to FLA but because she knows how much I hate it. So find something she likes that you don't and do it with her.
