An event that she would love and you'd take her whether or not you personally like it. For example, if she likes Christmas concerts there are several in the Atlanta area: Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity DISCLAIMER: These are the author's own personal views and do not represent the views of the author's employer. | |||

Here is my short list. 01. Coffee mug with your picture on it. 02. Parabellum bobblehead. 03. Nice leather hand bag. Women love those things. Finding the right one will be the challenge. You may need to recruit the help of female family members because I'm certain you don't know a damn thing about them.  My choice would be number 03.

A donation in her name to "The Human Fund". Or, my ex-wife always enjoyed receiving multiple Christmas scented candles, Christmas Cookie, spruce, etc. Then again, maybe that's why she's an ex, now... | |||

Get her a vacuum cleaner, she'll remember that for years. Don't ask me how I know. _____________________________________________ I may be a bad person, but at least I use my turn signal. | |||

Last year I bought my wife a Milwaukee heated vest. https://www.milwaukeetool.com/...ork-Gear/Heated-Gear She wears that thing all the time since she seems to be cold in 80 degree temperatures. “Government exists to protect us from each other.

Annual membership at local museum if she is into art. Classes in a subject she is interested in. My wife likes to work with glass. My goto is a gift card for the local glass studio. Community colleges offer adult courses at reasonable prices. Subjects range from art to music to hiking to computers. Let me help you out. Which way did you come in? | |||

Id say gift card to nice restaurant on the low end. Weekend trip to a nice hotel with spa or something. Check out Robert Trent Jones Grand National Resort not too far from you. That's our staycation oasis. ----------------------------------------- Roll Tide! Glock Certified Armorer NRA Certified Firearms Instructor | |||

We went through this for a number of years . One day we sat down and talked about it . We have six grandkids and six others that are sort of ours . We decided that there will be no more gifts for adults . Not each other , not our grown sons . Children only . It makes life so much easier . But , to each his own .  | |||

My wife and I recently talked about this. We came to the conclusion that time spent together is better than a random gift as we usually buy the things we need or want during the year. We agreed to a nice dinner out. You could do something like that, or a nice trip. Both can be determined by budget, personal tastes etc. Good luck! | |||

I have had huge success with poetry or nice loving thoughts, done in calligraphy and printed on parchment paper. Nicely framed with a personal note makes it even better. After 42 years together that type of thing is appreciated more than a traditional gift. Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming…......WOW! WHAT A RIDE! | |||

For my wife a gift card to her favorite salon for a pedicure and manicure. It fits every time. Have given her this gift for several years and now she drop's hint's to see if she is getting it this year | |||

Witticism pending... |
2 gifts. One would be something you know is a treat for her. It could be jewelry or a day at the spa. The other being a physical display of every intangible thing she is to you. What about a small photo album? Doesn't have to be huge. Half a dozen photos from the past year or so, but the kicker is a couple sentences written on each page on why that photo of her (or the both of you) is so special to you, what quality of hers is evident in the photo, or what memory you'll take to your grave.

19 years married coming January 1st. We’ve had a rule that we don’t get gifts for each other for Christmas. It’s better spent on the children. Anniversary is a different story. Edited to add: If your wife likes purses, I would recommend a coach bag.

Got my wife a heated fleece throw last year. Adjustable via Bluetooth. She loves it. The next few weeks she will be hunkered down in the recliner with that on indulging in Hallmark Christmas movies. ___________________________ "Opinions vary" -Dalton | |||

Is your wife a foodie? If so, might I suggest some of New York's best kosher cuisine: The best bagel & lox in NYC is from Russ & Daughters https://russanddaughters.goldb...algia?ref=collection The best chocolate babka and rugelah is from Green's Bakery https://www.greensbabka.com/ And the best kosher deli is from Leibman's https://liebmansdeli.com/ Eat and be well!

Is she fond of gardening or cooking? I gave an Aero garden like this one here and it has become a mainstay. Never ending basil, parsley, thyme, and other fresh picked herbs used nightly. Not to mention it is a talking piece when people visit. It's very easy to maintain, even I do it and I'm no green thumb. Some people use it to keep fresh flowers as a center peice year round.
