Although not personalized, a gift certificate to where she likes to shop the most may work (local specialty store, Amazon, Eddie Bower)? New puppy? Mrs. Phantom just informed me sometimes it's nice to get an offer for an experience or a trip...somewhere close or maybe far. She said if you put thought into it and do some planning it will mean a lot to her. Thanks Dennis, now I have to work on something.

Hmm got me thinking, most of our best dates have been hunting or fishing,.. really.
15 years back we took a day trip to Jackson, and the sleigh rides on the Elk Refuge,.. ,.. I'll redo that trip
Amazon gift certificate: is another one down.

A puppy,.. this time of year,.. I would be in the dog house
I refinished the Kitchen cabinets But that didnt go far

At least I beat her home tonight,.. the goose decoys I ordered weren't suppose to be here until the 22 :lol:

I bought my wife a under armor camo coat on the way home from Colorado this year. It's just like mine only with the pink accents. She wears it all the time. Last year for Christmas I bought her a Kitchen Aid mixer. Thanksgiving week she told me it was the best Christmas present ever.

Just a couple ideas.

We bought a new cooktop for our anniversary I also refinished the kitchen cabinets. My wife doesnt cook or clean much so many of the things I buy so she can do things with me.
The ATV we bought last spring,. fixing her 47 Willies, the trailer for the ATV, Now that were broke I just need some little stuff
Willies parts dont really cut it
While she has changed sizes, I will only get in trouble buying any clothing for her

Don't have a clue,but never give your wife something that plugs in which usually means some type of appliance or tool to clean the house

Shopping for my wife is very difficult. If she wanted something she already has it. She would be happy with less, and asks for nothing. Good luck finding something that would brighten your wife's day.

Massage, spa package, framed family photos, online music, fluffy bathrobe/slippers, Ugg boots, merino base layers. These have been well received.

That sounds great, we've done ok on geese, seems like we are starting to have some pretty good numbers in the area.
