What to get the wife?

[NCL4701]

Funny. My wife also asked for a chainsaw a couple years ago. Got her one of those battery yard tool sets with a little saw, blower, and weedeater. They aren’t a replacement for their larger gas counterparts but they’re quite handy for routine yard work.

So yeah. Maybe get her a battery operated power tool.

Damn, such a thoughtful bunch. Why not ask her what she would like?

I once got my wife a fishing pole.

She liked fishing with me while dating.

Told her it was a "starter kit" for a recreation/fishing boat.

Her next birthday, I got her jewelry.

A year later, could still feel the bump on my head......

Ultralight my ass.

I just got my wife the swimming pool she wanted .. FOR OUR HOUSE ON THE BEACH !!! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

Added a couple pictures. Purchased the property from her grandfather. Been building it for the last 8 years. My wife is shy, didn't want her face online.

Plan a vacation … even a short one will do.

The wife and I have always put more thought and tradition into anniversary gifts than birthdays. She really enjoyed everything I gave her early on then on our 30th she began to change. Each passing anniversary she acted less enthusiastic even though I was trying harder and spending more. On our 40th which is traditionally the Ruby anniversary I decided to go all out. I commissioned a custom jeweler to make a 22k gold broach set with rare Rubys ,Saffiare ,Emerald and Diamonds which encompasses 40th,45th,50th and 60th traditions. I'm embarrassed to say how much it cost but I could have bought a new tractor,all the bells and whistles, new implements and had money to spare. I wouldn't say she didn't like it but her spinster sister gave her a battery operated nose picker that she has been inseparable from ever since. Go figure,that's it,no more,never again,I'm finished.

My wife and I have the same birth date and decided to get married on that date also. Instead giving each other gifts and cards, going out for a fancy dinner, etc. it all cancels out - so we just enjoy the special day with each other - as we have for the last 39+.
An exception to that was 9 years ago. 4 days before our 30th anniversary she found the Corvette we sold 23 years earlier was for sale. She arranged to have the car arrive at our house on our anniversary as a surprise.
Now I will keep her until I die (and the wife also).
