As others have said, a nice dinner is appropriate in this instance. My wife and I celebrated 29 years yesterday and we went to about the best seafood place in town to celebrate. It was worth every penny.

OTOH, I remember Gracie Allen discussing George with a friend. She spoke of how when she told him what a nice man he was for remembering their anniversary in the morning he would return that evening with flowers and gifts.
The friend spoke as to what a nice thing that was for George to do.
"And it's worked three times so far this year," replied Gracie.

My wife is the one that forgets, I remember and normally get her a card and small gift. and just as we are ready for bed I hand her the cars and gift. its not the card or the gift or even the dinner it's simply to remember to say I Love You and would do it all over again.

Get her a blender.
The only thing worse than forgetting a special date is buying an appliance for a gift! LOL They will eventually get over your forgetfulness, but they may well never get over the appliance gift.
Where most men would love a good power tool for a gift, women are wired differently.
Her note was a gentle reminder and as long as you act on it you will be fine. Just don't ignore the note!
Get her a blender.
Or buy her a new mop.

Maybe you missed my anniversary gift: http://smith-wessonforum.com/lounge/453080-19-years.html?highlight=19+Years
Kick plates under the cabinets so she can stand closer to the sink.

Dinner and a movie x2
Been married 41 years she still brings up those old lady stretch pants I got her on the first Christmas. They never forget, never. I'm still paying dearly for the Santa clause cake on her birthday near Christmas too it was the only cake the store had. Life's great. I know why my brother fished so much.

And NEVER, EVER say..."but you're not MY mother" on Mother's Day. Yes, we had kids and yes I really said it. Been married over 30 years now but it still comes up from time to time. She smiles but she ain't foolin' me, I look away and stand on my right to remain silent.

If you guys figure women out before I do let me know.
I'm double "lucky." My wife cannot remember dates to save her life. She has to check the calender to find out what day Christmas is (almost). She NEVER remembers anniversaries, birthdays, you name it. She has to ask me.
On the other hand, I'm a "date guy." I know all kinds of obscure dates from history. It's easy to "word associate." For example, our anniversary is "D-day, +1" (not the same year).
She knows that. She just has no idea when "D-day" is.

Follow-up: The weather ruined our day trip, but we managed to have a nice dinner, some drinks and very nice evening. I'm still on the hook for a "nicer" dinner later this week, but I'm good with that.
vito, your suggestion is brilliant.

She told me she's not my mother. So I save $$ no gifts. I told her I'm not her father but calling me daddy is ok.
I regret not trading her in when she hit 50yo for a 30 & a 20yo. Now she's 60yo can I get three 20's?
Just what I need three more.lol
