Need suggestions for the Wife's 50th birthday

[Erich]

My wife (also older than me, but she doesn't look it) just turned 50 a week and a half ago: I took her to HI for a week at a nice place. And made a fuss over her the entire time - flowers (leis), jewelry (a ring and a bracelet - stopped by Tiffany's after taking her out for her birthday breakfast at a French restaurant that was just too cutesy for words), fancy sunglasses and pocketbook, frou-frou restaurants, some interesting restaurants that were different, "high tea", music, etc. Seemed to work and was a lot of fun.

She wasn't thrilled about turning 50, but it went all right. It's nice that you're thinking about this so much: it's one of those milestone things that can be made a lot nicer by some thoughtful attention. Good show, amigo, by making the effort - I think that's what matters most.

Then again, you can do what my husband did after my son brought me some flowers that afternoon: "Oh it's today? I thought your birthday was next week."

And we're still married.

Dang, this is kind of fun.
moonclip: we promised each other never to have a surprise party. However, what OTHER people do without my knowledge is beyond my control. The big day is a Sunday and my Pastors Wife will probably do something. (Actually I have a little something up my sleeve too, I'll report that after the fact).
Erich: I really wish I could afford a trip like that, let alone be able to get away, she'd LOVE it and so would I. Congratulations on pulling that one off. I'll bet the "fringe benefits" were great.
Barb: You're a Saint. If I forgot about something like that I'd be sleeping with the cats outside.

Day spa w/couples massage, then out for a romantic dinner.

This one is very good. I suprised my wife on her 40th with it. She still talks about it. For her 50th B'day our daughter arranged a huge suprise party. Both worked. She still mentions the great day trip on his and her spa day. I guess that's a hint, hint.

The main thing is, amigo, you're a caring person who's thinking about it. I'll tell you what: one thing that you ought to do is print this out and show her how many friends you consulted about the issue. I'll bet she'd be real pleased that you're thinking so hard about how to mark the occasion in a special way. She's lucky to have you. Must be quite a lady.

Thank you, sir, yes she is. And if I may say so, you did pretty good yourself according to the pics you posted.
I'll show all this to her AFTER her birthday. One of my cousins just gave me a really good option which may open up some good possibilities. I'll keep you posted.

Decorate you living room as tropical paradise. Make a airline ticket and a passport with her picture on it. Mail it to her. Cook a nice dinner Coconut shrimp tropical fruit ect. Play steel drum music Get dressed in tropical clothes get a outfit for her. Eat dinner on the floor. I think you get the picture. Then you can present her with real ticket for a cruise when you can get away. Do get away.
