What should I get my wife for Valentine's?

I have $50 and 5 days, I think my wife is going to leave me if I don't get her something good for v-day.

Any ideas?

So I guess going to the store, buying some day-old fish, and slamming it down on the table when you get home while saying "wink wink" to her out loud isn't what you are looking for...

Just make sure it hasn't been gutted yet.
 
Cookies By Design they make nice designs with cookies. My mom LOVED them last year from my dad. It was something different but I think it might be too expensive.

Maybe you should just consider getting her like the little things that she likes. Like if she says she likes reese's make a custom basket and put some reese's in there. If she likes a certain type of flower put that there too. Something customized is usually more thoughtful and cheaper IMO

if that's the case. it won't help. you could spend $2,000 and that wouldn't stop her.

anyways, how about a night out? take her to a nice restuarant, maybe go dancing. and a nice silver pendent. not too cheap but not as expensive as gold.and 50 bucks wont go very far to save your marrage.

$50 should get you one. They're a little pricey, but never seen a woman who didn't love them.
 
If she is really going to stay or leave depending on your gift there is more problems there than any gift can solve.
 
You're going to have to spend that $50 on making dinner for her. A really nice dinner with wine and candles. Then buy her a gift bag with chocolate, some spa stuff and some massage oil. Give her a personal massage at the end of the night and then make a hot bath for her in candlelight.

You can do all that for that price if you shop around. It's basicly all labor you'll be doing. You don't have a choice. And will actually be better than just taking the easy route and buying something like most people do.

Are you kidding us?

I just bought my husband new speakers and a new center channel for his home theater system for V day .

What's she buying you?
 
First off, if she's that much of a bitch that she'd leave you over something like that, then the best gift you can get both of you is some boxes to put all of her shit in so you can easily move it to the front porch.

Second, I've already answered in another thread that the best cost-effective thing you can do is go get a haircut, shave, put on cologne, dress up, show up with flowers and take her out to dinner.

If she's the kind of material possession hooker that just wants you to blow the bank on her for every Hallmark holiday then she isn't worth $50.

please..

what the OP needs to start doing is communicating that HE is the person of value
in the relationship,that she is lucky to have him and acting in ways that command her utmost respect and attention.

I'd wash my husband's feet with my hair if he'd let me,because he is a MAN and not a pussy whipped,simpering nancy boy.

OP,I'd give her nothing save a chance to apologize for her entitled attitude..gifts are things that should be given freely,not used to hold others hostage.

:gift:
 
If my wife was going to leave me because I didn't buy her something, I'd use the $50 for her ticket.

WOW! Can I subscribe (my wife) to your newsletter? 😀

For some silly reason, many females put a lot of stock in Valentine's day. Over the 33 years we've been together, we've always done SOMETHING for V-day, whether it just be exchanging cards and having a nice dinner, or actually buying each other nice (but not expensive) gifts. (I think the most expensive thing I've bought was a custom heart pendant a few years ago...about $300)

I agree that if she maked the decision on whether to leave based on the quality of the Valentines Day gift...there are more problems to be dealt with.
