Here we are, a day before my wife's birthday, and I have nothing.
I need suggestions, preferably from ladies.
Here's what you need to know:
She's not a gambler.
You can skip suggesting jewelry or gift certificates for massages. Done that to death.
I'm looking for something original.
I'll leave her age out of this, but suffice it to say she's firmly "middle-aged".
My budget is $100.00.
Oh yeah... our anniversary is in a couple weeks, so I'll do the romantic stuff then.
Thanks in advance!

A bust of the most fearsome Pirate you can find!
or barring that, make something yourself! She'll love it just because you made it. A card with macaroni glued to it should do just fine, might run you up into the $1 range though, unless your kids have paper, glue, and crayons...

One idea would to maybe put your feelings down on paper.
Write her a letter instead of a card in which you tell her how much you love her, how she helps you get thru life, what she means to you, etc.
After reading something like that, she won't really care what you get her.

Thanks for the suggestion, Billiard Boy, but I just can't handle that sensitive pu
ssy gift sh
it.
I'm thinking more along the lines of power tools or booze, with a feminine touch, like maybe a pink ribbon around a nice Makita sawzall.
Besides, if I put my true feelings down on paper, she could use it as evidence in divorce court.

Easy: I Pod Shuffle
Naughty: Hitachi Magic Wand (search ebay: It plugs in, no batteries)
And as to the feelings on paper: Great idea, but don't do it in lieu of a gift. We still like something to unwrap.

I am a genius that way. And, like it was suggested earlier, the Boxed set of Firefly. Best.show.ever.

What did you get her?

Thanks for all the advice FCP'ers.
I ended up getting her a spendy bottle of Chardonnay, some fancy chocolate and a better TV to replace the one in our bedroom (so we can watch that amputee porn). It felt more like the type of stuff you give for Valentines Day, but dammit, I suck at gifts, plus I'm a procrastinator.
Plus, after 14 years of birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, Valentines and Mother's Day gifts, a guy can run out of frickin' ideas.
I spent more than my budget of $100.00, but I consider the TV to be as much a gift to myself.
Consider this thread shut down... unless you need to flame me for my choice of gifts.

She?s really upset with me again,
I didn?t give her what she likes.
I don?t know what to tell her,
Don?t know what to say.
Everything got funky last night.
She was really bombed,
And I was really blown away,
Until I asked her what she wanted,
And this is what she had to say:
A pearl necklace.
She wanna pearl necklace.
She wanna pearl necklace.

No birthday required for that gift!
It's the gift that keeps on coming.

One night she did... after I had 13-14 Captain Cokes.
Seriously though... I'd say she's a milf.
I'd like her even more if I didn't have to listen to her.
