My very cool wife turns 50...what to buy her?

Sign in to disble this ad
My wife (as in the woman who thinks its cool that I own 4 Rob Allens and suggested I commission a Citron "Swallow") is turning the big five-oh. She's quite cool (architect and designer). And a former girl scout: this is a woman who can start a camp fire in the rain without matches.

What's a killer gift?

Well, first we do need a budget here.

Secondly, a few gag gifts like the blue rinse, support hose, etc. will be a nice warm up to the rolex, etc.!!! I'd say go all out for sure. I'd definitely lean to a reeeaaalllyyy nice piece of jewelry and a nice romantic dinner at least.

If she were my wife, I'd buy her a custom shop Fender.
