Gift Ideas - MAJOR DILEMA?

Question

All,

My wife and I have been together 5 years and married for 3. Due to my employment I spend a great deal of time away and, as a result, have missed her birthday for the last 4 years and all of our anniversaries (I was lucky to make the wedding). Our anniversary is next week and her birthday 7 days later. I want to combine and get her something special but again I am not at home (overseas at the moment). Any ideas!!!!!!!

Answer 1

You can call a florist close to her, and send her different types of rose bouquets for each anniversary and birthday you've missed. You can also pay for a day at a spa or salon for her to go and enjoy herself. Or how about paying for a maid service to clean the house for her, so she can take it easy? Most of these types of places will accept a credit card or debit card over the phone if you explain the situation. Good luck!

Answer 2

I bet she misses you like crazy but understands that as a part of your job you will be aaway alot, so speak with your boss and see if you can take 5 minutes break to call your wife, perhaps set up a webcam so that she can see you, and tell her how sorry you are they you cant be there, that you miss her, and cant wait to see her again. and then organise for her to go to a spa for the day and tell her on the phone that you want to her to go and enjoy herself.

OR if you cant go to her, would your employer let her come to you? if so, book a flight for her to come over to where you are, and spend a day with her, buy her some flowers go out for a nice meal, and then fly her home again.

Answer 3

give her a nice romentic dinner....

tell her beautiful things about her

all girls like that....well i think

Answer 4

Whatever material item you choose, I'm sure she'd love to hear your voice on those special days.

Answer 5

Whatever you do, do not order from 1800 flowers.

My husband on a deployment did for my last birthday and needless to say, all the complaints you can google are true and we are part of those complaints.

Same here about missed birthdays, holidays and Anniv.

Married for year and half and dated for three.............he spent 2 tours in Iraq back to back and he was stationed in Japan when we got together.

How about a video of you telling her how much you love her. You know, all that romantic great stuff she loves about you that she misses.

You know a phone call, video and letters means the world to girls who would give up so much to see their SO.

How about a spa day.  If she adores massages, facials, waxing, nails...you know the whole works........how about you get her set up for a spa (possibly a female friend to go along with her).

How about a concert to her favorite artist? (a friend or family member can go with her).

Does she like animals? Maybe a zoo pass?

Then remind her when you get home, you will go out with her and do something special again.

Answer 7

Jewelry is always a wonderful gift.  I love having things that my husband bought me that I wear every day.  Not just because they're beautiful, but because each piece has a sentimental attachment for us.

Since you are not going to be there, I think that you should look into getting her a day at the spa, or a piece of jewelry with some flowers.  

If you want to go the jewelry route, you could get her one of those journey necklaces and they are available in a variety of price ranges.

Or any one of those diamond pendants, the circle, a heart, whatever appeals to you.  You could have it sent to her and send her a card that tells her how much you love and appreciate her and how your love gets stronger each year.  And include a gift certificate for some long overdue loving to be redeemed upon your return home!

Good luck!

It is a real shame that you can't be ther for her, i hoe she appresates teh work that you are putting in as it can be lonley without you man near by.

i suggest you look online at some flowers, no adays you can get teh full deal delivered, by this i mean flowers chocolates teddy champane. you could do that and send her a card sujjesting she have a hot bath with bubbles and candles. maybe even see if you can get those delivered. the internet is great if you look in the right places. that way if she does happen to ahve to be on her own she can chill relax, maybe send her i chick plaick.. dependant on her taste by notebook is a greatfilm...
