Something Nice for the Seder Table or Shabbos Table

If she tends not to have help for cleaning, obviously someone to help her clean
Books
(I know my mother appreciates those.)


Don'ts
gym membership:Don't buy your wife a gym membership or any work out device. Ever. Like ever ever. Even if she asks or begs for it.
Drug store candy: If you are going to go and buy her some sort of dessert, don't bother going to your local CVS or Walmart for that if you don't intend to get yelled at.
Items that need fixing in the house: Don't buy your wife a washing machine, dish washer, vacuum cleaner bc its needed in the house. Would you have not gotten it if it wasn't her birthday around the corner?
Call your wife female spouse.

Do's
Jewelry : Diamonds ALWAYS work.
Call her Female Spouse. The capital letters make all the difference.
Pokemon Go She probably hasn't had a chance to download it

Don't forget to write her a nice letter!

To all of you that advised jewelry, I wouldn't buy expensive jewelry unless I know for a fact that she likes it, because if she doesn't: 1) she wouldn't tell you (maybe eventually yes), 2) she won't want to wear it but still will because you bought it for her...

Ps some advise I got when I got married is that if you want your wife to wear she doesn't like, ask your mother to buy it for her...

Let's stay OT and try to help a fellow, it doesn't matter who it is. IMO it was a very logical idea to ask the question this way.
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

Thanks for all of the suggestions guys.

As I'm sure some of you can understand, in this modern age, I'd have preferred to keep my anniversary date off a public forum. (Apparently my "discretion compass" was off kilter way back when I started this adventure... :P)

In any event, for those of you who feel like they missed their calling of being one of the Hardy Boys, I'm glad I could be of service  ::)

I think there was a lot more than that off kilter back when you started :P

IMO save the eternity band for the 25th when it actually means something. At year 2 it just seems cheesy to me

at the 25th, a band that small will not cut it

she always mentioned it, so i told her this is a placeholder for a bigger one ( with no timetable attached  ::) )

I had written "Anniversary Gift for Spouse?" and realized it was unclear if I was talking about male or female, so I added female.
