    A voucher for a posh spa with a daylong set of every experience she might enjoy, including a massage.

    Meanwhile, you can go to the motor museum.

    Wanna be very early, it's a long balloon ride from The Plains of Emu to Alice.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Something gold? Perhaps a Caterpillar lawn mower or garden tractor. Or John Deere which are green and gold.

    Have someone write you a card for her...

    "My love, your company time and presence is of such value to me that I choose not to get you a gift as doing so would invariably require the expenditure of the precious commodity so highly valued as you took the broken thing back from whence it came,

    With all my love and adoration, "


    The reason you get someone else to write it? youd get a dud pen.

    Or you could do what I do, totally ignore the occasion. After a few days when the door slamming/ fracas/mayhem/divorce threats etc have subsided threaten to do it next year as well. Then run like old ****ery.


    In reality though, after 62 years neither of us bother anymore. e'r indoors can go & buy anything that takes her fancy.

    Even "nice" meals out don't seem the same anymore with ripoff prices & crap service.

    Just ask her what she'd like, then buy it for her.

    I tried that once but she had got got it wrong. In the event, I bought something that she didn't really like & so she took it back.

    Gifts of any sort are a very personal thing, so these days I let her buy what she really likes & then she has only herself to blame if it goes off the rails.


    Whatever it is, I still complement her on her good choice.
    I have suggested & shown her stuff but being a Virgo it is never good enough. A bit like me really.


    62 years! I tips me lid to you both!

    Thanks Ron, just last week as it happens, & as they often say "You get less for Murder".
