last minute gift for wife.... not many options budget <= $1500

[SemperFi]

It all happened pretty quickly but what a wonderful outcome. This was/is such a cool thread.
Matt, I was almost as anxious as you were. I kept looking at my watch hoping that your wife would make it on time.
Well done all around guys and Happy Anniversary Matt, to you and your lovely bride.
P.S. - Next year you might want to give yourself more than two hours to get the ball rolling, although this certainly turned out very well.

Seems as if Gerardo has done this type of thing before!

My wife's birthday is coming up in a few weeks. Need to do something similar!

Drive her to La Encantada, and ask for the manager (you already have the name, ask them to have 10 options already out within your budget). Let her choose. Go to dinner, where dinner will be with no menu nor wine lists, just food showing up. Be a champ!

Wow, very impressive!
Matt was smart to take your advice.

Agreed. Definitely not his first rodeo.

All. thank you for the nice comments. My wife was truly surprised at LV as I had given her a gift last week so she thought we were just window shopping, waiting for our dinner reservation and the store was being nice by bringing out wine.... As Bobby the sales person was showing her various bags, I said I had to step out to use the restroom and had told him to let her know that she could pick one. I like the one she chose I was hesitant to post the question in the first place...... then thought what the heck. Never thought Gerardo would light the fire like he did. Thank you G for the push!

Nice idea G! I'm gonna file that away for the future!
