Cosd Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) Ok so it's my 16th wedding anniversary this Saturday and I haven't bought the wife anything yet Usually we go out but this time round we have a family Christening starting at 4:00 so by the time we get back it would be too late to take her out and we don't leave the kids alone yet when it's dark (12 + 13 years old). Got the day off tomorrow, first stop is the florist to get flowers delivered first thing Saturday. But totally stuck from there on! Help me out guys and gals!!

yanibaby Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Can you cook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosd Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Can you cook? Yes, but problem is we're at the christening beforehand and we would have eaten! But did think maybe to do presents Saturday and cooking on Sunday maybe..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Pretend you forgot ? then the next day have LOADS of flowers arrive n take her out for dinner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Is there a Show she would like to see, a special place she would like to visit, dinner on the Orient Express, or something really special ? Then book it and announce the "treat" (probably too late to get tickets to give her) on Saturday. Its my experience that Wives like something to look forward to, almost better than the instant present. Also, when you choose a card, get one where the words almost make you throw up. The more nauseous the words, it seems the better women like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJN Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 As you are married, it is a joint thing, so I would ask her indoors what she fancied doing as a couple, cooking is only if you are in deep trouble IMO.

Doc Holliday Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) Sound advice from Cranfield. No wonder that guy's a moderator. Dinner on the Orient Express is quite pricey. I got my Other Half a gliding session for ours the other week and she was over the moon with it. Maybe something a little less ordinary? Flowers are always good. My other half absolutely adores flowers. Generally get a bouquet for £30 - £40 and they always turn out really well.

dieseldogg Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 And to think the Yanks wasted a fortune on the Apollo missions Wheras your wife managed the moon and back in a glider ie to quote "I got my Other Half a gliding session for ours the other week and she was over the moon with it".

Bluebarrels Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 If your looking for something different that wont break the bank,go into your WH Smiths they do adventure day packages,hot air ballooning,drive a tank,racing car that sort of thing,and you can book when suits you,maybe when the kids are at school! i think they even do clay shooting(but can you get away with that?)worth a look mate.

Conygree Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Also, when you choose a card, get one where the words almost make you throw up. The more nauseous the words, it seems the better women like them. Love it Cranfield, I just walk into a card shop and buy the first one that catches my eye - that's so embrassing I need a bag to carry it in. Then after she has openned it - move it up to the top shelf, so noboby can read it. Why is it that men really get stressed trying to 'get it right' about wife dates etc and we have to pretend to be pleased about wives getting another 3-pair of 'socks' out again for us year on year (xmas, b/day, dads day). So that's why Marks & Sparks sell them in packs of x3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Get her a boob job; a nice set of bolt on Jordans - that's the present that keeps on giving and something you can both enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only half a gliding lesson, that is not very fair if she had to get out half way through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
