My DW and I have been married 52 years, I have never given her a gift for any reason that was not personable. You don't give the love of your life tools, vacuums, generators for a gift. A gift should be from your heart whether it be jewelry, flowers, personal items make it about her. We have been full-timing for 8 years now and if we need something about RV-ing we buy it. If it is a gift for her I buy it and it is personable. I am 70 and she is 69 so I won't say we are beautiful but to me she is still my beautiful bride. Buy her and evening out fit she can lounge in and not feel self conscious if she goes outside. But her flowers (although I never buy flowers for any holiday), buy her some perfume, buy her a day at the spa, but buy her something for her not something to work with or to share with you.
After 52 yrs of marriage, I would take this guy's suggestions to heart! He probably knows a little bit about how to please a wife! :B
