Wifes 30th Birthday!

[mats01_99]

Hi all. My wife hits the big 3 0 in a couple of weeks; now she spent a lot for mine a couple of years ago (flights to Denver to meet a good friend). My problem is however that we have a 3month old baby so a trip away is probably not a great idea, trouble is I'm struggling for other ideas. Can anybody help a man in need please?!!

I was actually thinking of an eternity ring as she keeps hinting at one. If I get her this for her birthday is that a little tight?!

you look after the baby book her and a friend a weekend to new york.

how about a commitment ring?

A spa break while you look after the baby?

Most new mums won't want to be away from their baby for any length of time. So any advice to 'look after the baby' will probably come from someone who hasn't yet had one or a health visitor!

Jewellery is a good idea but you could do all the housework for a weekend, cook all the meals etc etc. and start to plan something extra special for when the baby is a little older.

I think an Eterniy ring is a wonderful idea and not tight at all. I think a spa break is a great idea too and yes i would have welcomed it when my children were younger though maybe only one night or hows about filling the house with flowers and getting caterers in to prepare a meal for you both in your own home and a mobile beautician/hairdresser to pamper your wife while the caterers cook. What about a new car? A hot tub for the garden? Are there any of the red letter day experiences she would enjoy ..... hot air balloon ride, parachute, car racing etc?

Hi my answers not flashy or expensive its just thoughtful my friend has a site www.saysomethingspecial.co.uk you can do like an online announcement like what you see in the back of newspapers except its alot cheaper why not do something like that for her. All you need is a nice pic of her and some lovely words sure you can think of something special. My fiance had our first son 19 months ago and wasn't comfortable leaving him with a sitter for the first 6+ months I'm sure your wife would enjoy something that actually involved your new baby. Good luck.

scoobydooby, I've got one of my own and welcomed a spa break when mine was a few months old. As Janetsflower says, 2 days and one night would be enough. The hot air balloon sounds good too.
