I am looking for a birthday gift for my wife, any ideas???

We just had our first child about 6 weeks ago and now her birthday is very soon. She is not one to like flowers, I know I will take her to a nice dinner but what to get her is the question? I am not looking to spend a bunch as for the %26quot;push gift%26quot; 6 weeks ago I got her a new dinner table and chairs.





Help me with some ideas please....

I am looking for a birthday gift for my wife, any ideas???
Take your newborn and have a picture made with you and your child. Put it in a nice frame and go ahead and make reservations at a nice place and then drop the picture off at the restaurant before. Then have the server bring it at the end of the meal. She will be totally surprised and will really appreciate the fact of the efforts you made to make her night special. Best of luck.
Reply:she may Really appreciate a functional gift.


a diaper genie maybe tooo functional. an Ipod? what have you been putting off on getting for each other?
Reply:make her queen for a day. you can even buy a paper crown at a party supply store. prepare the meals, baby sit, let her have some time alone to do what she pleases. special touches, like finding notes telling her how you feel hidden in places she will go into, like drawers, under her pillow. you know her best.
Reply:Have you asked her what she wants? She could probably stand a good long nap! Give her time to herself. Maybe a hotel room or something like that. I know she (you too) is very tired. I%26#039;m sure you%26#039;re are very capable of watching the little one for a while.

Reply:spend the whole day with her. Allow her to take time off from the baby %26amp; u baby sit %26amp; have romance.





Wish ur wife happy b%26#039;day
Reply:How about a little personal gift. By personal, it mean something that you know she likes, maybe a night out with friends to a movie and you baby sit or whatever else her likes are... something totally unexpected.
Reply:How about getting her a gift certificate to a beauty shop for a pedicure, manicure, massage or a facial? I love it when my husband gets me that.
Reply:Sometimes the best gift cost no money at all. Try watching the baby for her and let her take a nice long bubble bath with nicely scented candles, her favorite book/magazine. Maybe make a dinner for her for a change or get her her favorite dessert. Put the baby down for the evening and rub her feet while she watches her favorite show.
Reply:How about a gift card for her favorite hair salon? Or to a lingerie shop (like Victoria%26#039;s Secret) for new, non-maternity underwear? Or a boxset of her favorite perfume/body lotion. Depends on what%26#039;s she%26#039;s into. I know after having a baby she%26#039;d want to feel/look beautiful again. She deserves it!
Reply:Unique art gift is the best present.


I recommend http://www.photoartomation.com/ArtWork.h...


These guys convert digital photos into paintings of different art styles and print them on canvas. After you send them your photo they create a preview sample of your photo. It’s free.





I sent a digital photo of my wife (I wanted to give her a special present for Valentines Day) to photoartomation and they turned it into three gorgeous art samples that I could preview online. I had a hard time picking one because all three were really beautiful. Although their prices pretty high I was not disappointed because when I received my order the prepared artwork was much more impressive then online samples. And my wife was just speechless…
Reply:If your pocket allows, give her a diamond ring

That is really special :)

What can I do to give my girlfriend a very romantic birthday?

She said she doesn%26#039;t want any flowers this year because last year I gave her flowers. Not that she didn%26#039;t like flowers, but she doesn%26#039;t want me to overspend. On her last birthday, I brought her to a romantic dinner coupled with a bouquet of roses.





Okay, a year has already passed seemingly fast, and her birthday is around the corner once again.





What can I do to give my girlfriend a very romantic birthday? What gift? What plan? Where? (I%26#039;m not American, no specific venue please, just general places that ought to be available everywhere in the world)





Here are some details that might help:


- She doesn%26#039;t use cosmetics.


- She%26#039;s a Virgo.


- She loves surprises...but she also wants everything well-planned.


- We%26#039;ve been together for 16 months.


- She%26#039;s an interior designer.


- I am driving.


- She loves details and efforts.





That%26#039;s all I can think of now...

What can I do to give my girlfriend a very romantic birthday?
Once my husband surprised me by taking me to a nice hotel and treating me with a massage. When I returned to the room there were rose petals, champagne and chocolate covered strawberries. He then treated me to dinner. It was a very romantic night.





If you are trying to save money, you can do something similar at home. Cook her dinner. Make the table look nice. You could treat her to a massage yourself. Just make it all about her. For most girls I think it%26#039;s more about the thought you put into the gift, not necessarily how much you spend!





Good luck!
Reply:buddy, take her to an over looking view where you guys can see the whole city. if you%26#039;ve gone to L.A. the mullholland drive where you can see the %26quot;hollywood%26quot; sign in the mountain is somewhat the best view i can suggest.. and then hand her the engagement ring, whiule you wrap your arms around her.. buddy, security is the best gift you can offer to her.. the engagement itself will sure bring her to tears.. just choose the best design of the ring, and since shes an interior desiner, its your time to impress her though.. ok? i hope it works,,
Reply:a single rose, a bottle of champagne, in ur house put candles, dim the lights, put slow music and slow dance with her.
Reply:1st suggestion- give her something small like u make her this cute lil card, with some sweet pics of u both n make it creative as u said she loves details. then have it frame. nice and modern. no laces here and there tho. maybe u can paste some dried lovely lil flowers (dont make it messy, pls!) then u cook dinner for her at ur place. and watch love movies together.





2nd suggestion- take her on a yatch. maybe if its too costy then take her jetskiing@ boat ride, what have u. u watched Hitch? i like the idea of it. make it sweet and make it lovely.

How to give the flowers?

Well.. I have to go to a birthday party but it%26#039;s at a restaurant.. I thought of a boquet of flowers but they%26#039;ll die by the time we leave since the lifetime of flowers isn%26#039;t very long without a vase. So I%26#039;m getting this little amount of flowers in a tiny vase it looks nice, but i%26#039;d feel funny giving such a thing. Is it normal to give such a thing on a birthday party? Thanks for your replies. It%26#039;s just a random and silly question =]

How to give the flowers?
I think its beautiful and thoughtful.


Anyone would be happy with such a gift...


i know i would :)


plus its fine for a birthday party!!!!
Reply:then put water in the vase
Reply:Due to the fact that tables are small in restaurants, there really isn%26#039;t much space, I would not bring the flowers to the restaurant. Instead, take them by the birthday person%26#039;s place before the event, or have them sent by the florist. That way, big or small, they won%26#039;t get knocked over, there will be space for them, and they will not wilt, and you do not have to ask a waiter to go get you water for them. And the recipient will not have a problem getting them home, either.


I always think that part of the thoughtfulness of gift giving is the timeliness, and finding the right present, for the right person and place. For instance, you would not give chocolates on a hundred degree day, at a restaurant miles away from the recipeint%26#039;s house, they would melt before they got them across the parking lot, let alone home. You would not give a skimpy Fredrick%26#039;s of Hollywood nighty to your Grandma at her 60th birthday party held at the church.


Hope this helps.
Reply:Its thoughtful, but if you are worried that the flowers will die then have you thought of having the flowers delivered by the florist to the birthday persons home? Or maybe buy the birthday person a bouquet of the month subscription. I know some florists do that around my area. Check it out. It might be something kind of different as a gift and then its sort of like the gift that keeps on giving in a way. Good luck.
Reply:I think that is very thoughtful. Don%26#039;t worry about it!
Reply:make sure it%26#039;s a cute vase and let the rest flow.. it will be just fine! you should feel yourself comfortable with it and so will feel the rest!

How do I find someones birthday using the internet???

I%26#039;m trying to find out my grandfathers birthday because I want to get a tattoo in honor of him and I want to incorperate his birth flower into it but I need his birthday in order to figure out what flower.





I CANNOT ask my family, they would not only not approve of the tattoo but would also be very upset that I would want to know anything about a family member that does not live in my respective house. (We%26#039;re not a close family, we%26#039;re just a bunch of people that happen to share a last name. And we%26#039;re not allowed to talk about each other)





Is there a free way to find someones birthday using the internet that%26#039;s more reliable than birthdaydatabase.com?








Thank you.

Reply:No. And just ask your family what it is and tell them that one of your friends wants to know what it is.

Reply:No. Unless the tell you his birthday there is no way to find out. Just ask him when his birthday is. Then search for the symbol.

Present for mothers birthday?

Does anyone have any ideas of a present for my moms 45th birthday? I really wanna do sum thing nice, i did flowers and homemade card last time, so thats kinda common... She gets upset if i dont do anything, and if i do shes the happiest person for about 3 days %26gt;.%26lt;

Present for mothers birthday?
Moms are kinda normal women like that. My mom really dug anything homemade, so I usually made her a cake and a card and sometimes embroidered her something.


One of the presents that she really dug was a letter I wrote to her. It outlined all the things I appreciated about her and articulated exactly how much I loved her and why. After she died, I found that letter, which I had written when I was 16, some 25 years previous, folded up in her jewelry box, in a little velvet bag. She really treasured that. It got her through all the years I was suffering with alcoholism and drug addiction, because she knew that I really loved her, regardless of how I was behaving. I finally recovered from my problems, largely due to her unconditional love. I wrote her another letter, but by then she had the beginning of Alzheimer%26#039;s disease and didn%26#039;t really care about anything. Give your mother your best while you have her with you. When she is gone, you will miss her more than you can possibly imagine.


Best wishes to your Mom on her birthday, and to you for thinking of her.
Reply:I would try to do something really personal. Maybe a framed photo of you and her when you were young or something she collects or really enjoys doing. If you can%26#039;t think of anything like that, a gift certificate at a local spa is always good.
Reply:Make her a collage of pictures of you and her, include some of when you were growing up and after you do that take it to a tshirt place if you can find on and they can make an iron on out of it and put it on a shirt for her. She would love it, my mom did and 10 years later she still wears it. That way she can show you off to everyone.
Reply:get her a pedicure at a spa take her out some where
Reply:A nice glass doll with her name on it somewhere would be nice.

My boyfriend didn't get me anything for my birthday!!?

So my boyfriend and I have been together for about 5 months. We%26#039;ve dated before a few years back, and now we are head over heels for eachother. He treats me so well. I am a little bummed because today was my birthday and he said happy birthday and gave me a kiss. I was thinking that maybe later hed come out with flowers or a card or gift, but he never did. Before my birthday he talked about how he had things in mind for me, and then i mentioned how im at his house a lot and he said that my present is somewhere where I wouldn%26#039;t look. So I was excited to see what he got me. but i got nothin. I didn%26#039;t want anything but atleast a homemade card or something! For his birthday I got him balloons sent to him and some movies. He is unemployed, so i understand that hes low on cash, but not THAT low that he can%26#039;t even make me a card or buy flowers.





Basically, I am just wondering to why he wouldn%26#039;t get me anything and why he said he did but then came up empty handed. Should I mention it to him?

My boyfriend didn%26#039;t get me anything for my birthday!!?
Considering, he%26#039;s unemployed, its quite reasonable to give a gift. If you plan on telling him about your frustration, do you think he will not get offended? Nevertheless, you have to say to him your disappointment but do it in a most subtle way.
Reply:.Most certainly would,if can lie about a birthday present Then he can lie about anything.
