....and I am sure there are some wonderfully hopeless romantics on this board. I need that input.
I have been x'd for over ten years....and the x just hit a bit of a milestone birthday....consider it a "decade" mark. We maintain civil relations and our two amazing kids know that. She buys me stuff and vice versa....she, of course, is always better at zooming in on what I want and making it creative then I could ever be. I feel rubbish when it comes to attempting and always ensure that the receipt is included with the gift so that she is able to make a seamless return for something she actually wants.
No, this is not a gift to attempt reconciliation...each of us are comfortable with where things are...at least, I presume so. This is a gift that I want to give her to express gratitude at being a competent mother to our children who are entering post secondary education....they are currently off on that last final vacation to Orlando....and I want to have a gift ready for their return. You should also know that I missed it completely....her birthday was the day before they left...but, that is par for the course for me.
My budget is not more than $200...preferably $100....and I want a gift for the woman who has everything practical. Nothing intimate...nothing sexy....nothing of that nature. Where do I shop???...what do I buy?....please chip in.
most respectful regards,
eddie.
