Tandem sky dive jump.

1-800-BePetty - A few laps around the nearest NASCAR track in a genuine racing type car.

Scuba Dive lessons - something else to do on the boat.

Belly Dancing lessons - lil' something in there for you

If you entertain a lot she may really appreciate clothes. I get my wife a bunch of stuff at Chico's every year that her girlfriend picks out for me - she (the girlfiend) also works there so we get like 40% off.

(BTW I just ordered some stuff from Boatwear - the custom embroidery site that advertises here - I'll let youall know how good that stuff is when it gets in.)

I like Garett's mp3 player idea if she doesn't have one.

I've always done well with giving the spa treatment, but that's starting to get played out too (I think it's been 4 of the last 7 major events - Xmas, Valentine's, Mother's Day, Anniv, Birthday).

Why not send her on a girls' weekend to somewhere (Vegas, etc.) if she has some travel buddies.

Big Al, you are correct. Especially since I don't fish....

Menzies,
What about something the two of you could enjoy together? For example: a "night in" basket with a couple of DVDs, an extravagant bottle of something, and some massage oil?

My wife also walks and she loves her mp3 player I got her last year. She also plays tennis and enjoys tennis outfits and
I also gave her like 10 tennis leasons. The leason part could be tricky not to insult her but my wife was taking leasons (or that were she says she's going) so it did not insult her.

Menzies, LI sound grunt has the right idea, I take my wifes best friend shopping with me for her birthday and for christmas, not only do I end up getting her something she wants, but if you pay attention to your wifes friends you can gain alot of insight into what they are plotting [img]../images/emoticons/biggrin.gif[/img]

I agree with the spa recommendation......Just did it for her birthday and ill do it again at x-mas. Along with a new Shimano reel
My wife's gettin' an 80wide Penn on a nice bent butt rod.

My wife wants that too!

And I 'm gonna give it to her too!

Big Al
is okay to say "bent butt"?

My bent over wife might get a 7.5 wide in the butt if she drinks enough wine.

I keep telling my wife that too!
