Not knowing what your wife is into Houghy makes it hard.
Sometimes cute ornaments work! You know, small statues of cute kids, or maybe little statues of an animal she likes.
Oh, plus the obligatory Flowers and gift voucher for make-up.
Good luck mate, been nice knowing you

Hasn't your wife dropped any hints David, that seems to be the normal procedure leading up to these occasions. If she has and you haven't picked up on them, i think your in big trouble..

It make's me sad to think everyone has come up with selfish options just like me......lol
Dont think Astro here...try to gain as much brownie points as possible..buy the perfume like Phil mentioned plus buy her more...this will hold in you good stead for future astro Purchases.
I wish you luck.

What do you mean used to work for you??
A weekend away for the two of you will work wonders. Just tie a chop around the kids necks and let the dog look after them while you're gone.

H0ughy,
All wives love to get personal items, underware, bras etc.
All not to expensive , all good????
If you get the wrong size look out!
Too BIG and your in the #### because you think she is too FAT.
Too SMALL and she will think she is too fat and you still in the #####.
Tread carefully, MAYBE it not a good choise after all

My wife and I made a pact years ago that breakfast in bed and a meal with the family was all that was needed. Works well for us.
