Question:

Is a vacuum cleaner a good anniversary gift?

by | earlier

It is our third anniversary coming up and I want to get her something practical this year. Ever since she went back to work she says she doesn't really have time to clean, so hopefully it would motivate her. Anything else?

omg...you are dead meat if you give her that.

Get her jewelry or something...not a vacuume.

That is a bad idea - give her something special - maybe a nice weekend getaway for both of you.

Now, if you really want to motivate her to clean, why not help her with that chore?

Get her a treadmill

no. try chocolate covered strawberries, candles, and s*x.

anniversaries don't call for practicality,

also, if she doesn't have time to clean, then you should find the time. maybe you should buy the vacuum cleaner for yourself so YOU can be motivated.

Hi, well first of all, i don't think a vacuum cleaner is a good idea. Why don you try with a painting of you two? Go to http://www.paintyourlife.com there you can send a photo and a group of professional artists will paint your photo by hand in the style you like the most.

You can also go to http://www.photo-print-on-canvas.com there you can also send a photo and it will be printed in the style you like (ex. graphic, pop art, opie, etc.)

This two options are very good ideas and it tells how much you love your wife :)

Hope you like it

Good Luck and believe me... don't get her the vacuum

Bye

Generally not unless you want to have a very bad month following your anniversary.

However it would depend on your wife. Mine would probably get estatic about it, she's been wanting a new vacuum cleaner for quite awhile and i refuse to let her replace the one we have (it's sort of a trophy, long story lol).

But yea, I'd suggest something more along the lines of a impractical gift.

that is a TERRIBLE anniversary gift!! That should be a gift to say, the house. For your anniversary, get her a spa certificate or something special FOR HER. Not for the house.

Oh god no. My dad bought my mom a salad shooter once for christmas. That was the wrose thing he ever did. She didnt talk to him for the whole day. Needless to say he took it back and just gave her the money for her to go and get what she wanted. Re think your gift.

Maybe you doing the half of the housework that is your responsibility since she went back to work would motive her. You will be sorry for getting her that. She did not marry very well.

She said she DOESNT HAVE TIME, not that she needs your motivation, you heart is in the right place and thats great but you should NEVER get a women an appliance for any occasion. I would buy jewelry & and a romantic dinner.... in if you can cook, out if you cant!

The idea about you doing some chores is great, the cleaning service is a no, that will make her think you dont thinks he can handle it and may hurt her feeling. You anniversary is for the two of you to celebrate your marriage and so you should do something together and get her a gift she will be able to keep as a memory.

& Happy anniversary!

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, no, no and no!!!

If she doesn't ever have time to clean, then either give her coupons for YOU to do some chores, or hire a cleaning service.

Don't get her something practical for an anniversary gift...give her something nice! AND a cleaning service!

Please...do not give her a vacuum. My husband did that once and it broke my heart. Rethink that gift and give her something from the heart.

Get her the vaccum because it might get her to clean. I tried of women getting great gifts while the guy get some crappy gift and has to act like it is ok or that s*x by itself will make it all better.

Having the time to clean, is not the same as being unmotivated.

Buying her a vacuum still wont solve the problem of not having enough time to clean. If you want to get her something practical, I suggest a book of gift certificate/vouchers from card and adult shops that entile her to such things as "hubby to vacumm house" or "10 minute foot massage". Giving her something that shows you are willing to help her out and free up some time for her, might even get you alot more in return

If you don't want to make it to your fourth anniversary go ahead and get her a vacuum and the treadmill that was suggested. Otherwise I suggest getting her something that she would ENJOY rather than something useful.

no woman wants to vacuum on thier anniversary,would you?

maybe she was giving you a hint to help out.

a night out on the town maybe dinner,dancing or some really really good s*x.give her something she can look back on.

she dont want to remember her anniv. by vacuuming.

i would def say no go on the vaccum esp cause its only the 3rd aniversary, i think (of course im a guy ) maybe like a gift card to a store she likes like bath n body or victorias, girls like the lingeray and so do we lol win win try to do something semi romantic and casual

instead of a vacuum cleaner i would suggest a rechargeable carpet sweeper. they are much lighter than a vacuum cleaner and she will realize just how thoughtful you were with the gift as she bashes in your brains with it.

have you considered maybe an nice dinner out, tickets to a show, maybe both!

Women do not like to get practical gifts for romantic events like anniversaries. We just don't, and I'm a practical person. And if you think that giving her a vacuum cleaner for a gift would motivate her to clean, you are so far off base it's not even funny. It would probably offend her, so if you want to see a fourth anniversary I wouldn't do it.
