Guys, are you tired of buying the old standby for Christmas?  Face it, you can’t tell the differences between the million and one perfumes you’ve smelled and lingerie and housewares just gets you in trouble.  Plus you want, not strike that NEED to see your wife look excited when she opens her gift this holiday season.  I’ve put together some unique gift ideas that your wife will appreciate and you’ll be the envy of all her friends!

Spousal Spa Day - Head to a local spa and explain you want your wife to get a few treatments, but that you want to surprise her at the end with a couples massage.  She will appreciate the treatments, but she’ll be delighted to share part of the day with you.  Afterward, maybe take her out for a nice dinner.

Week Off Coupon - This won’t cost you a dime (unless you want it to).  But make a beautiful certificate for your wife that says you will do EVERYTHING around the house that she usually does.  Here comes the hard part, you need to realize what she does.  If she is in charge of the laundry, dinner and shopping  - spell out your appreciation for all these things and explain how she will be a kept woman for one week.  Let her know how your are amazed by her ability to multitask and take care of so much.  It’s not just the gift of time for her, but the fact that you notice how much she does.  Now, if you aren’t much of a cook, this gift could cost a bit in takeout for the week.

Bouquet of the Month - Flowers, flowers, flowers!  You can send 3, 6 or 12 months of beautiful flowers to your wife.  A gift that gives all year long.

File these in “Why didn’t I think of this”.
