[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so easy, why is everyone coming up with such lame things that he can't wrap in a box as he said was one of his prerequisites.  Jewelry is the answer.  You can never go wrong with jewelry.  And for $100 you can get a nice casual pair of sterling earings. Bonus (for me) if they are vintage.  Throw in some flowers and I'd be over the moon.

Picnic dinner, lingerie, or the direction from someone to go somewhere and do something (movie passes or mani/pedi) are just not the same as a surprise box to unwrap.[/quote]

Hm, NP here.  Again, this doesn't work for every woman.  My wife has a *LOT* of jewelry.  Between what I've gotten her and family gifts my mother has passed down (my parents have a LOT more disposable income than we do and my mother has given my wife the most expensive pieces of jewelry she owns), she has far more jewelry than she needs and wants.  There is only one piece of jewelry she wants at this point and we'd have to go and select that together.  Jewelry would not be appreciated by my wife in the type of mood that OP describes.

For a take-home gift for my wife, I would call her and tell her not to make dinner and would get takeout dinner for four from her favorite restaurant, then after dinner, I'd take the kids out for about an hour to give her some quiet time, then would bring them home and do all bedtime activities (which we usually do jointly) so that she gets her favorite dinner and some peace and quiet to take care of herself instead of us.  And maybe buy a bottle of wine and a movie that she'll enjoy for after the kids go to bed.[/quote]
