It's tomorrow(did I wait too long to think about this? ), so nothing too elaborate.
Serious &/or sarcastic replies welcome.

Well, porcelain is the traditional 18th anniversary gift here, unfortunately it makes a pretty effective projectile too. So I would say some nice slinky lingerie, and a bottle of something nice, can't go far wrong there.

Well.. SHE will definitely appreciate a bottle, and I'm always good w/lingerie...
There will be no pics. You DON'T wanna see me in a teddy.

Isn't that last pic still circulating the interwebz somewhere, the enthusiasm couldn't contain itself as I recall

Get her a day at a spa. She can get all pampered and relaxed for a day. Or if you are on a limited budget, give her a do-it-yourself spa day: she takes a day off, you cook her a nice meal, give her a massage, and do all the household chores that day.

guidelines

OK- I very much appreciate the suggestions, but will say that it's a bit tricky for several reasons, hence this thread- mainly, she is the breadwinner & we're pretty broke & spending a pile on something *touching/sentimental/touchy-feelie* will NOT go over well- what's more, she's not the typical female in that respect, doesn't care for flowers or or cards so much.
We are going to hit the DeYoung Museum in SF tomorrow- that will be the big deal- but I do want to throw SOMETHING down.
She digs a good laugh...

Honestly, just spending some time with me, nothing expensive, but just doing something, anything, together would have meant more to me than the bass and all the other expensive presents I've received through the years.

Sounds like you've got that part covered, so yes, cleaning the house would probably be good. :-) If you really want to get something for her, too, what hobbies does she have? Maybe a paperback, or a craft something, or a candy bar, or something from the Halloween aisle that she might think is funny? Or rent/buy a movie she really likes and watch it with her. (better yet, borrow it from the library) It's really more about the thought than the $. At least, in my opinion...

Well, that's my suggestions. Hope you both have a great anniversary!

Thanks, RosieB. The museum will be great, I'm sure- it's one of those *one of these days* things we've been putting off for EVER. As for hobbies- she rides MTBs; think I'll try to grab a pair of gloves(she needs some new ones BADLY)while she's not looking... next- a good, funny DVD+bottle of decent wine & we'll be good for another 18 yrs.

Porcelain - first thing I thought of was a toilet! You said she has a sense of humor...
