Yeah this is awesome, but in order to surprise my other half, it is a requirement to spill my financial guts all over the side walk for rediculously overpriced nicknacks that they all seem to covet so prodigiously. Not that she expects it, but to get her really smiling, it’s a necessity. So anyway, can I borrow some money?

Nice. My wife and I keep updated gift lists - we use Amazon.com wish lists as idea starters. It's useful because we can access it from anywhere and don't have to remember anything. cory huff's last blog post..A Stay at Home Mom's Wish List

Being the “practical” wife that she is, on our anniversary recently we only went out for a simple japanese food buffet dinner. My colleagues called me cheap!

And lastly, Derek, if we didn’t hear back from you after your wife is opening the gift, it could also mean that you are being severely rewarded!

These are great steps toward getting your wife a gift. Let’s face it, we men screw it up bad sometimes. I really like this list to make your best attempt to get it right, or “gift it right” as the case may be

I like the advice Derek as it can be quite stressful trying to get gift buying right – as you say we’re all too familiar with the consequences of not! My wife’s birthday is 3 weeks before Christmas so I have to come up with two ideas in relatively short succession. What it means is I usually employ your #1 AND #2 to create some options. In fact, I still buy for our kids too which means some extra ideas are always needed in the pot. At the end of the day…she’s worth it !

Good advice. But what if she subtly and obviously hinted a thousand times that she wants you to buy a tropical island for her birthday? =P Kelvin Kao's last blog post..My First Fantasy Basketball Championship

Nice - these are so simple yet often overlooked by most men. We all probably put to much thought into gift giving. I wrote an article very similar to this when I was looking for a gift for my wife.

These are good tips. The Man is really good at getting me gifts. I must say that even if you don't listen to her or ask her, a blue Tiffany box (with something Tiffany in it of course) is ALWAYS a safe bet! RubiaLala's last blog post..WonderWalk

I find the free gifts sometimes work well too.

Like a coupon book for various things.

- Massages
- Take a long bath night
- Night out on the town

etc…
