For the wife? Ideas...

Any ideas on what to get the wife for her 37th birthday? Under ~$150 and that can be delivered to her door. I am away currently and wont be there to celebrate with her.

Background: She just gave birth to our first born child and time away from home is scarce because of the kiddo.

Congrats on the new addition!

In my experience, you can't go wrong with red red roses and a thoughtful note!

Hopefully you'll be reunited with them soon. Until then, keep safe.

Do you mean your wife, my wife or THE wife?

It will influence my decision.

My wife would be happy with a Moet tripple pack @ $125.

The boss has plenty of watches and a mobile phone for the time.

I see you are in the service - good on ya mate.

when my son's mother was pregnant, for christmas I bought her a little Tiffany and Co. necklace, very stylized, I think it was called "Madonna". anyway it had a christian theme but no symbols and you couldnt even really tell it was a woman holding her child. I think it was around $150 or so

Or maybe have a few meals prepared and delivered? You get quite busy with a new baby and gotta keep that strength up- sometimes new moms forget to eat!

I have to agree with the day spa and babsitting. Something I am sure she would really appreciate and enjoy.

This - big time.

Anything to make her feel like a special princess for the day will be a fantastic gift.
