The one that went down best with my Mrs was a day at a health spa, nails hair, massage pampering etc.......

Trouble is its the sort of thing she needs to go with a friend ?

I did it as an Xmas present as did her sisters partner so the two went together.


What does she like to do ? Soon to be swimbos birthday and only this weekend she asked me to fit a speedo to her bike, shes into horses to so Ive clocked a GPS watch will go down well for this years pressie.

Theatre tickets or tickets to a gig. You can both enjoy the present then and get some good quality time together.

If your feeling flush start it with a meal and end it with a night in a hotel.





Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

If you have ever heard of her problems,(not that all of us men do) you could try to buy something that will make her life easier.

As Jon Ison says, spa day with her toyboy, errr I mean friend....
Women tend to go in for sentimental crap and diamonds, some way of combining the two might put you in the good books (I don't mean the religious texts by that).

Spa day always win.

For my wifes 40th i had a ring custom made. Visted Thoresby Park for a walk and food, then quick walk round quaint shops, told her to choose a ring at jewelers and collected it ready for her birthday. Really nice supprise for her.

Yeah track day at Spa sounds like a good idea. Failing that always get her more than one present just in case she doesn't like one of them. To that end I'm getting my missus an escort starter motor, an alloy petrol tank and two very narrow car seats. Maybe even a propshaft if I'm feeling generous. She's bound to like at least one of these.

Nahh not any more. Married now.

They were very useful though when my padlock on my push bike broke.

I used the handcuffs to secure it.

You never told me the starter motor I keep tripping over/ dancing round was a birthday present, too.
Multi tasking- whatever next?

My word......some of you guys suggestions, will have him in the dog-house til forever and a day....

30th is quite a milestone for us girls I remember it well .....

If she is a 'girlie girl' then Jon has it spot on......

It would help us if you could tell us about her likes dislikes.....as in ....as mentioned above..

1....a girly girl

2....sporty girl

3....homely girl

4....'living on the edge' girl

5....'anything for a laugh' girl

6....fashion/jewellery conscious girl

Us women, like you guys, do not all like the same thing, as you lot have different interests, hobbies and sports preferences, so do us girls.......

I can say one thing for certain.....for a 'significant' birthday (or in my case, any birthday).. Do NOT buy her anything for the home ......it has to be for herself......

Figure out what she actually likes and dislikes and you are 3/4 there....

HTH

Bought mine a full day at a health spa and she loved it but location is important too, also rings necklesses etc even a new i-pod

but...

I worry about what I'm going to get her like half a year in advance its a nightmare that just gets worse each year as the list of options just gets smaller and smaller
