Okay, let me get this out of the way. Yes – there is another holiday right around the corner that requires you to get a gift for your wife. Yay! I know, all of us have just been dying for the next opportunity to do some shopping. This holiday though, is all about finding the perfect Mother’s Day gift for your wife. But I’m here to help those (read: all) of us that can’t stand the fear-stricken anxiety of the moment she opens the gift wondering, hoping, (praying?) that we didn’t get the wrong thing!
Every year I tell myself I’m going to have the perfect gift wrapped and card filled out at least one week in advance. I’m tired of scrambling around at the last minute. You know the feeling. When you end up sifting through the skeletal remains of the card section at CVS, hoping there’s one left that will at least “work.” I don’t want one the size of a marble notebook that costs $13.95, but I do need one that has enough space on the inside to scribble down some thoughts. You know the “thoughts” I’m talking about. The ones that convey deeply emotional feelings that you’ve been waiting to express for months. Definitely NOT the ones that popped into your head sitting behind the wheel of your car in a CVS parking lot. Ya know, because “a friend” of mine has that happen to him every holiday.
(a) a gift certificate to her favorite workout class inside of a great new gym bag
(b) a gift certificate for her AND a friend to a spa day. The addition of a friend is the kicker here, especially considering i’m sure just about 99% of you have already burned the standard spa gift certificate already. But this allows them to go together, which is apparently more fun and even allows your wife to do something nice for a friend.
