Gift-giving is an art. More important than the cost of the gift, is the thoughtfulness put into it. Pay attention, or if you don't have time, think back on all the little things that cause her frustrations and get a gift that relieves some of that. Think about the kinds of things that bring a smile to her face and plan along those lines. More than anything else, she wants to know that you are paying attention to her. The gift should demonstrate that you have been paying attention.

Only you can know the right gift.

Good luck, and don't believe her when she says "no gift necessary"

nice one Mr T.

You're essentially correct except for "don't believe no gift necessary". In a good relationship, a gift may very well be unnecessary.

A lot depends of the receiver, too. Some women would melt if you took them breakfast in bed with a short poem you've written, other women wouldn't get that but may appreciate a more practical gesture.

Many Thai women love Swarovsky (spelling???) glass things.

I don't like it, but never seen any Thai who didn't think that it is wonderful.

Thais don't celebrate wedding anniversaries, we should not encourage it.

A CD mix of all the songs that mean something to the both of you and which were important to you during your marriage... Create a nice cover for it with a photo of the two of you and a song list and in brackets behind each song of what he reminds you of. Costs you pennies and time and is fun to do as you relive your partnership while browsing for songs.

With music, I can do a virtual time travel into the past with the most recent to start and then further and further back into the past. Done it twice and it always was an awesome experience.

Hope this helps - have a great anniversary night!

Cheers,

You're right. What was I thinking!?

Celebrating happy milestones in one's life is a Western decadence only Westerners with their super special training can handle.

The business card of your divorce lawyer... just to keep he honest....(which I'm sure she is)

Maybe this is a statement of your dishonesty. Not all people think like you, some are genuine.

Just had my first and flew the wife , and myself, to Songkhla to where she was born and raised. She hadn't been there for 12 years, and I never. Looked at her old schools and where she used to live and play. She loved that I was interested in her earlier life. Had the best room in best hotel on the beach and hired a new BMW so she could see I went the extra yards for her. Caught up with many of her school friends she hadn't seen for years and partied. She loved it. Most of all she loved that I took time to show the interest. So hope this gives you some help for ideas. Go and look where her childhood was.

Hmmm, my missus is always happy with a bit of gold. She does like flowers but finds that they can't be eaten and can't be accumulated.

In my experience, buying her the thing she says she absolutely does not want or need works like a charm

Actually, with my lady, anything that grows (fruit and flowers are a bonus) does the biz Of course gold is ok too

I have been married for three years as well and all she wants is money, money and more money

Looks like you shoulda paid attention *before* you got married!

T

Most importantly is understand what she doesn't want..e.g. My wife thinks flowers are a total waste of money and yes I have bought them for her before. She says thanks but don't do that again.

Something special for the baby. And chocolates.

On our wedding anniversaries I take the wife to a nice restaurant. If you hadn't planned to eat out that night it might be a nice surprise for her.

I did, oh well, such is life in the slow lane. I knew how she was before I got married, no change, I've got nobody to blame but myself, nobody is twisting my arm or put a gun to my head. We got to keep those chicks happy.

think i will go "the flower path"...most importantly i haven't forget it.

but thanks for the nice inputs

Make her breakfast in bed, give her a day off from house chores, take her to get massage, or manicure/pedicure, end the day with a nice dinner, and of course flowers waiting for her at home, how could you go wrong with those?

Get her a new cover for the ironing board; should be able to get a very good one with your budget. It will get plenty of use when baby comes. Flowers, jewels and chocolates are so unoriginal.

Well, I had three friends who had their wedding anniversaries at the weekend, and they all celebrated, I don't think their wives would have been too happy if they forgot

We go out to our favourite eating spot. It's nothing fancy but it's good fun.
