That again? Don't worry. When Dave shows up you'll hear the lot about it.

Flowers are good but that won't surprise her.... :doh: On every b'day I give her flowers, so that is by default gift(side gift) for her. :)

It's very difficult to find time cause she has a working day today and she might not get leave. :doh: yeah we can go for dinner.. :thumbsup: and that will give her option to choose her choice of food. :)

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.

Don't buy a bouquet. Buy her ONE long stem rose, and take her to a nice place for a candle light dinner. She'll enjoy the dinner, and she'll cellophane-wrap and keep the rose for years. A bouquet is just a bunch of flowers. One rose is a special gift. Trust me - this'll get you a LOT of points with your lady. ;)

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 brave soul, you are!

... if you like having dead, cellophane wrapped flowers in your house. They have those at funerals... :doh: If you intend to buy flowers, buy her a flower pot! Don't buy dead flowers. ;)

I don't know if they do it in India, but in the UK you can get "A day as a zoo keeper" experiences - can be expensive, but can be "original and thoughtful" which is worth a lot of Brownie Points... You have left this a bit late, you realize!

My girl still has the solitary rose I gave her in '03. I found it, with the anniversary card, stuck inside a book. Mashed flat as a fiddle and probably dry as bone inside the cellophane. Asked her mom about it and she clued me in as to just how special that ONE flower was to her. She still doesn't know that I know she kept it. Ladies of good character tend to hold dear the small, thoughtful things rather something big and splashy.
