[quote=profhoff]I think cooking classes are too much of a commitment unless you are CERTAIN she would like it. Otherwise, it could be seen as a chore – she’d have to go so as not to offend you and that would be annoying. If it’s one time only, that’s not too bad.
In general, gift certificates to do things are annoying unless they are something the person has always wanted to do. They introduce a sense of obligation to redeem that detracts from the gift.
What’s your budget? And I might have missed this, but is this your Mom or your wife?[/quote]
Definitely agree with profhoff.
Call me crazy, but if she likes being around you, how about a romantic weekend in a nice hotel…just the two of you? You can stay locally and maybe see a concert and go to a very nice restaurant. Maybe Humphrey’s for both the hotel and concert? You can go for nice walks and head downtown for some fun.
I am a wife and mother who puts up with a lot of sh$t, and I would be thrilled to wake up to a home cooked breakfast and not have to lift a finger, have a massage, spa day, a heartfelt card, a nice dinner (home cooked or somewhere out), or an inexpensive piece of Tiffany and Co. Jewelry. Something like a sterling silver necklace with a pretty little charm would be lovely. Just seeing the blue box should put a smile on her face! Oh, and of course, you could never go wrong with good ol’ flowers. 🙂
These ideas definitely are not very creative, but are SURE to do the trick of making a woman feel special and appreciated.
