I'm going with a mix of Durandal and LadyTevar on this one. A spa day as the present followed by an evening out at a restaurant and dinner theatre show, topped off with a suite at the Chateau Laurier and a stream of room-service-provided ice cream sundaes the size of small mammals. That should reduce my credit card to a small pile of screaming, smouldering plastic and thus, make her very happy considering how thrifty we normally are. Pity the Summer In The Park symphonies don't start until July...

Thanks to everyone who suggested something, including the truly mind-bogglingly odd or extravagant ones.

Just call me "Dr. Love."

And I know exactly what she's going to say.

"Honey you shouldn't have!!" (delighted voice) soon followed by "Are you sure we can afford this?" (worried voice).

You are possibly the only truly psychic person I have encountered after all my time of tagging along with 'ghost hunters' as a youth.

I'm going to hope for the 'romance overload' factor - that elusive situation where the sheer joy overloads the good common fiscal sense.

That happens every time women go shopping together; it's just not romantic. Women have this odd belief that you can save money by spending it. I'm not quite sure how this new economics works, but it'll be Nobel material if my mom every writes a paper on it.

Ah, yes. My sister has figured out, remarkably, that by buying twenty pairs of expensive shoes that will last for twenty years, she is doing better than buying a pair of cheaper shoes a year for twenty years.

Thank you! Considering that I and my family have experienced and been the source of what many may call 'psychic phoemenia(sp)', I appreciate being told I was accurate.

Yes, that often works, but then we worry about it when the bill comes due

that sounds like a perfect present, Lag.

I hope all men on this board take note and remember this next birthday/anniversary

My wife's birthday is this Saturday and I don't have a CLUE what to get her. I have a legitimate 'getaway' spot Friday night, when I will be able to go out shopping without raising her suspicions that I am out getting a gift (she loves surprises)...but I don't know what to get her!

She has everything she needs...practical or otherwise, so it'll have to be something that people wouldn't have ordinarily thought of - something practical yet totally superfluous to ordinary living.

And I...I...I'm STUMPED.

A threesome. And if thats already been done, increase by one until you reach the "never been had before" plateau
