    I take my wife shopping. Usually I buy her tea at a nice tea shop. Walk around with her. Try to keep the complaints about how long we are in a place to a minimum. She also likes getting a spa day. She loves gift certificates related to her hobbies. I went into a shop that sold French silks and bought her a silk pillowcase once. That was extremely well received. If I were desperate, I'd ask her friends. Special food, silk, anything to do with her hobbies, time alone with you. Stuff that reminds her you know she's a woman. Occasionally I'll get a movie or movie set I know she would like and put it together with something else. Do you cook? Women love a man who will cook for them. I once woke my wife from a nap to show her a candlelit dinner; Manicotti in a marinara sauce with garlic bread on the side.

    Once I cooked her favorite pie. She said: "next time, buy it at the cake shop". :sigh:

        And good luck. It is a little like defusing a bomb with some of the ladies. (cut the mauve wire, no- chartreuse, no- fuchsia, no- taupe, aaaaa!!!) I suspect you know her well enough to know what would absolutely blow up. If nothing else, you should get points for trying.

          Try some antiques and/or things she can display in the house (a vase, a painting etc.). ;) BTW, wrist watches are "electronics", or was it mechanical? :)

            A lesson to learn something new. Some restaurants do training days in fancy cooking. Craft shops often hold teaching days where you can learn some skill. Is there an indoor climbing wall near you?

                              Be in bed with the cleaner when she comes home. That'll surprise her. Especially if he's male.
