quick birthday gift ideas for wife image
sloboomer
my wife of 20 years is having her 47th b-day on the 30th,and i basically suck at buying gifts for her! She's very attractive,loves the simple thing in life and love surprises. we have a great marriage ( in all ways! ) very open and share everything together. i need some romantic ideas (anything goes here!) and gift suggestions...I do have some ideas romantically but would love more advice..thank y'all for any ideas!
Answer
Congratulations on the 20 years of marriage. (:
If she's a simple gal and perhaps going out doing the traditional stuff (dinner, movies, spas) is not the way you want to go, I would suggest finding a nice recipe and make her a romatic dinner with candles everywhere, birthday cake and all. Fireplace roaring, glass of wine (or whatever) and talk while she sits and watches you cook. Talk about your ideas for a vacation together, etc.
If having lots of friends around is the ideal, plan a quick surprise party either at your house or a local establishment.
If actually BUYING something is your dilemma and jewelry is not the answer, think of something that she can enjoy year round or a gift that keeps on giving. Golf lessons, cooking class, favorite magazine subscriptions, a Nook from Barnes and Noble if she's a reader (they are coming out with a color touch screen version soon, if not already out.) How about a pet! (:
Just some random ideas outside of the spa idea everyone else has.

what to get for afganastan?

hi, my husband looks to be leaving forAfganastan soon. I am wanting to get things to prepare us, like for communication..like webcam another laptop etc....what should IZ do from the bigest to smallest ideas thankyou so much to all who take the time to answer
Answer
I am a British Army wife so my experiences of communications when my husband is deployed may be different from yours, but for what it's worth!....
The access they have to comms. will depend on where they are and what they are doing. Some people have access to the internet pretty frequently but others much less so, so don't panic if you don't hear from him via the net often and he can't chat for long.
We have usually found phone calls pretty straightforward but your husband might want to take more than one phone as some cell phones work... in some places!
We have a system called 'eblueys' where we can send a letter via the internet which is automatically printed out and sealed in Theatre. It's a heck of alot faster than snail mail.
My husband and I both have dictaphones, and when he is deployed he takes one and a supply of tapes. We each chat into the tape every day (I leave mine on when I am cooking or chatting to the children so he can hear the sounds of home) and then we post them at the end of the week. Trust me, when you are alone and missing him dreadfully at night there is NOTHING like being able to just flick the tape on and hear his voice.
Here is a quick list of the things we always pack (excluding kit, wash kit, and civvy clothes)
LOTS of wet wipes (in tubs, the packets dry out)
Extra socks (they get through far more than they would at home).
Immodium (they all get upset stomachs!!)
Asprin
Linen handkerchiefs which you have washed and ironed (they come in handy for lots of things and they smell of home)
Don't forget contact lense solution if he uses it
phone chargers
stationery
pens
dictaphone & tapes
family photographs
A Christmas stocking if he'll be out there for Christmas.
(Don't laugh!...I send my husband a small gift every week, so he has lots on Christmas day and he keeps them in his stocking!)
Blank Birthday and Christmas cards so he can send them to the family from Theatre.
A portable CD player
CDs
Books
This is all I can think of for now. I know how very hard pre deployment is and I'll be thinking of you. :)
