Can you cook?

Breakfast in bed and lobsters for dinner works....spa in the afternoon, flowers. Take her to a chick flick. Dedicate the entire day, to her.

I'm not married, but I always give my mom flowers and take her out for dinner.

Bought my wife a new car two months ago, so she was insistent upon saying that she gets nothing. Well, she is getting flowers and taken out to dinner.

I am not stupid!

She'll get nothing and like it. Oops. Sorry, a caddyshack flashback.

We have a huge party with all the moms in the family. It's just what we do. The boys smoke cigars and the moms roll their eyes and laugh.

Mine has everything. So all I can give is my presence.

I bought Heather a heart locket that says "Mom" on it and put 2 pictures of our 10 month old son in it.

I will be on easy street for alteast a month after giving that to her.

These are the 2 pictures. Of course, only his face fit in the teeny little locket:

Too late for this idea, but I expect a ton of brownie points for this one...

We have taken a ton of pictures over the last 5 years and 3 kids with our digital camera but don't ever seem to get any prints made. Have the printer even, but still just don't make many prints. So I organized probably a couple hundred of those pictures and made a hard bound book out of them. There's a website called Blurb that has a pretty user friendly program to create the book, you then upload it and they send you the book. Whole thing took probably a week or so. Cost ranges anywhere between $12 to $50 or so depending on size and if it is a soft or hard cover.

Spa package, Manicure/Pedicure, promise no cigars, cook for her. Always Earings, Rings Necklace, ect..... I think you get the picture. My wife and I have been married for 6 years the 24th of this month. It is sometimes a combo of a couple of little things that can add up for a nice gift.

My beautiful wife of 4 years, who is the love of my life and my sole reason for living, is getting a fully stocked humidor. I figure its what I'd want if I were her.

I told my wife of 34 years that she will not be getting any more gifts for any occasion until she uses the gift I gave her last year....



I bought her a nicely manicured cemetery plot!
