It's Tracy's Bday coming up in a couple of weeks. I am the worst at thinking of gifts! Any help would be rewarded with hugs from Mikey...

RWS - if you buy diamonds you will need to know the "Four C's".
They are:
C ash.
C heck.
C redit
C ard.
A really good diamond requires the use of all 4 C's.

No jewelry. She's not a big fan. I should have said that previously.

Think hard. She may have already mentioned something she would like.
A really great gift is one that has thought put into it. Can you think of something that would make her life easier, or that she might really enjoy based on something else you know about her?
Also, the best presents are the ones you would never buy yourself.

Great ideas, but just an addendum to "something that would make her life easier" you don't want to be something like a vacuum, you know? Unless thats what she specifically wants. Us wimmins are complicated that way. I have a few aunts who have been all in knots because of "useful" gifts their husbands gave them because my aunts thought they implied they didn't clean very well or needed to do more around the house, etc. Just a thought there (because if I hear the vacuum story one more time.....)
I do really like SC's last thought....that should get you thinking in the right direction.

SC had a good idea...if you can't come up with anything that way, what about a "spa day" - massage, facial, manicure, etc and then night out? I don't know, everyone is different. I don't know what your wife is into. Does she like to cook? What are her hobbies/interests?

Oooh, thanks, Cheryl. I thought it went without saying, but it's very good to point out anyway.
And NO WOMAN WANTS A VACUUM!
