Guys, if your anniversary or wife / girlfriend's birthday is coming up, here are some gift ideas that are sure to be a hit:
1. Make a movie. If you are at all creative and know your way around your PC, use software like Power Director or Make a Memory Movie. Get pictures and video of things that you've done together, mix it with a couple of your special songs and you're good to go. You may not win an Oscar, but she'll most likely give it two thumbs up.
2. Pictures. Pictures are great gifts because they trigger memories of fun things you've done together. Make a collage out of places you've been or things you've done. She'll love it.
3. Build a bath basket. No, this isn't 'gay'. Prepare a basket of bath soaps, oils, candles, and soft music she can listen to while relaxing. Include a coupon for "bath time" whenever she wants - which means you'll hold down the fort and watch the kids to give her the quiet time.
4. Day spa. Get her a gift certificate for a day spa. She'll enjoy the facials, steam baths, manicure and massage. Note - if this is an anniversary gift, make it a couple's day. You can't send her alone on your anniversary.

Valentine's Day Gift Ideas
With just a few days left before Valentine's Day, you are going to have to get in gear and figure out what you're getting your wife / girlfriend. Here are some ideas:
Chocolate
It's a bit cliche', but chocolate works. I wouldn't make it the focal point of the gift giving, but a small, Valentine's Day themed box of chocolates is a good thing.
Lingerie
Can be a good thing for both of you. You need to know what she likes, what she already has and what will enhance her body. Picking up something that promotes negative features of her body will NOT be a hit.
Jewelry
I haven't met too many women who don't like jewelry. A heart shaped pendant, a bracelet, necklace, ring, ear rings...you get the idea.
Beauty / Health
Stores like The Body Shop, Bath and Body Works, etc carry an endless line of lotions, creams (apparently there is a difference), gels, burning oils, etc. Know what scents she likes and dislikes and go wild. Foot lotions and massage oils are generally a hit. Include a "coupon" for you to give her a nice relaxing massage.
Perfume is a bit cliche' too...I'd stick with the oils, lotions and creams.
Tomorrow we'll look at some date night ideas.
