Surprise weekend away. Big plus (a bit selfish I know) is that I get to go along too!

well boots always go down well

avoid gym memberships/fitness products ( she'll think you think she's fat) and white goods!!

A) they are pretty fashionable
B) a good price.

tthew - that link - no pun intended - is very annoying I have just seen the bracelet i bought for the wife last year for a third of the price.

Pampering day sometimes good. Another present that went down very well albeit for the fifth wedding anniversary was an olive tree, but any tree would be good.

I made up a book from the photos we took while in Thailand for two months last year.

I don't think I'd get away with doing the same next year.

Oh bugger, sorry, I thought it seemed cheap. I'd best look into into it, green wrists are not a good look.

Personally if it's non bike stuff! I like the following!!
Jewellry, weekends away, perfume, books (I LOVE reading!) or how about some nice snuggly slippers, or a nice coloured scarf from somewhere like fat face? Always things I like.

16" of a TV, she got me the other 16". Ours broke a few weeks ago and we thought we'd get something good rather than suitable.

In the past I've got jewellery, easy but expensive. Some spa time (city retreat in Newcastle), (horse) riding kit.

I'm fairly rubbish when it comes to present ideas so I normally ask what people want. Much better to give something they want but wouldn't buy themselves rather than guess and get something medeocre.
