PLEASE HELP – Need ideas for a gift for my wife

Jewelry never gets boring for them. We always did a surprise party but that might not work for you.

jewlery? sheital? has she been hinting to anything? gift certificate to a spa?

one word…ARUBA!!! or CANCUN…either, or, everyone loves a vacaton!!!

i know someone who went to st lucia for the weekend with her husband, left the kids at grandmas. no cell phone no computer no comunication whatsoever from the time they left the USA for the entire weekend, she said it was the best weekend of her life!!!

st lucia…in the carribeans…

thnks,twiggy!

Give her time to do whatever it is she wants. Tell her the next 2 sundays from 2-6 you are responsible for the kids and she is free to do whatever she wants. sleep, read, get a manicure, shop, visit friends. For a bonus, take care of supper and bedtime too.

As far as gifts, you can never go wrong with dinner reservations. Where doesnt matter, as long as they have linen tablecloths. Extra points scored if you need to drive more than 30 minutes to get to the place. Don’t ask why, its just the way it is.

After 20+ years, and dozens of meals out, Mrs. BP never tires of the chance to eat out. And she talks about it to her friends many more times than she does about jewelery.

After 20+ years, and dozens of meals out

That’s (relatively) not that often; no wonder it’s exciting!

photos taken of your 1st child vs the total taken of all subsequent children

Heh, so true. 🙂

Reminds me of the truism: if you see parents with a baby and you want to know which child it is (in terms of birth order), just watch for a while and see what happens when the baby drops his/her bottle.

If it’s the first child, the parents will pick up the bottle, dump out the milk/formula, sterilize the bottle and nipple and prepare a brand new bottle.

If it’s the second child, the parents will pick up the bottle, run the nipple under water until it’s clean again and then give it back to the child.

If it’s the third child, the parents will simply kick the bottle back to the kid.

If it’s the fourth or subsequent child, the parents will tell the kid to get it him/herself.

bpt,

Just curious, how old do you think I am? (You don’t have to answer because I might not want to confirm or deny it:)

I only meant that many people I know go out to eat weekly. I probably go out to eat less frequently than you.

” I probably go out to eat less frequently than you. “

I’d also like to add this; The “people who eat out weekly” many times turns out to be 10 people that ate out 1 each = 10 times, but you “hear” about it within your circle / network so many times, it seems like 100 meals.

Its the “everone is doing / getting / going” phenomenon. Us 40 year olds try to see thru the smoke and mirrors.

Oh, that reminds me… I gotta revive the “Olga’s” thread. See you later!

” 50’s and 60’s? “

50s maybe, but 60s? those are the ones that eat out the least, as every type of food gives them gas, heartburn, too much salt, too much ect.

And they (when I say they, I mean the men) hate staying out so late, so why can’t we stay home?

50s, Ok I’ll conceed to that. 60 y/o couples are ususaly so busy with simchas, they don’t have a day in the week to go out, even if they wanted to.

BPT, I try hard not to be the grammar/spelling police, but I’m going to point this out just once since I’ve seen it in multiple posts of yours. Et cetera is abbreviated as etc., not ect.

Now back to your regularly scheduled program. 🙂

just the couple and hashem :)!!

Of course, the Boreh Olam was there, but was He happy?

read between the lines, women sometimes give hints as to what they’d like for a gift…but luckily for us males, many women are of the kind-hearted type and follow the “it’s the thought that counts” rule…saved my life a couple of times, that rule did..

I think a good gift for a good wife is a good husband
