Like BSBDD said,it's the thought that counts!
Flowers---Way over priced,plus they are already dead,unless you
get her a growing plant.
Candy---Forget it.Women are always trying to lose weight.Trust me,I have a wife&two daughters.Thy don't want anything fattening plus they are empty calories.
Jewelry---Waste of money unless there is something that she desires.Ex:Can you tell if someone has diamond earrings on or
just a rhinestone?Some can but most can't!
It ruins the suprise but my wife&I have decided that if we want
something during the year.We just buy it.It's better then buying a present just for the sake of buying a present.With the price of greeting cards now,we have also decided to forego them,unless
they say what we want said!Sounds boring but makes sense monetarily! Irish
