The big FOUR-OH

[Apathetic Lurker]

Alright, my wife turns the big 4-0 on the 15th. I have no idea what to get her...I'm tired of the usual gifts ie clothes and jewelry. We did not have a 40th for me as I absolutely refused to allow it so i dont even know if the food option is ok ....So i'm in a bind.. Help me out..

Have you thought of getting her a 16yo from the track team?

She'd toss him/her back as inexperienced

Day at a spa?

FWIW, I got my wife a Kindle for her 40th. She's an avid reader and very much into the green movement, so it happened to be a good confluence of interests.

All I can recommend is that you think hard about what she likes to do and see if you can find something that she would enjoy.

Well, she would really really enjoy a trip to europe but that is not an option right now as i,m still not allowed back to work

she also loves jewelry and clothes but she has way too much

I'm always a fan of "experience" gifts. Something like dinner and a nice show...maybe a couple's day at a spa. A small vacation or just a bed and breakfast weekend get-away might be nice.
