Thakkar Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Congratulations! 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" T 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

h90 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catweazle Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 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, Catweazle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thakkar Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Thais don't celebrate wedding anniversaries, we should not encourage it. 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. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callaway Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) 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.

senor123 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussieroaming Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somsrisonphimai Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 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?

champers Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited September 22, 2014 by champers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
