CHICO2003 said:Not sure if this has been mentioned yet... don't have the time to read through the 6 pages of ideas for this guy but... Back in the day, I made my girl a jewelry cabinent. Now if I was some master craftsmen it would still be cool, but not nearly as big of a deal... since I was (and still am to an extent- though not as much) a complete dumbass when it comes to that stuff. Fortuneatly, I can follow directions well enough and have a decent amount of patience. Bottom line: she LOVED IT!!! (and still adores it till this day) It's not the fanciest thing in the world but she knows I worked hard to make it for her and that's worth more than anything. Might be a bit more "difficult" than what you're looking for... but then again, that's why it's such a good idea. It doesn't have to be a jewelry cabinent, that's just what I decided to make. If you decide to do something like this, stay away from a hope chest as that traditionally is something you make for your fiance. Something I've yet to do but want to is restore an old trunk (good for books and crap). They can easily be found at any antique shop... or even tag sale. Restoring them to new condition is a chore... but well worth it. My parents do them all the time and they always come out great. Be creative! Any schmuck can go to a store and buy something. If she's worth it... and it sounds like she is... go above and beyond. Your grandkids' grandkids will appreciate it. L8R

Most women do wear make-up! Not that you have to be all about it...just seems a little silly!
To each his own!!!

When I say make-up, I'm talking about powder and s***, but seriously, too much mascara and lipstick can make a cute girl look like a damn hooker.
loccusst said:Flowers can be overdone so be differant with them, be original. Do something off the wall. Cover her car with petals. Leave some flowers on the seat of her car so when she gets in the car first thing in the morning she sees them. If she goes to work on her birthday pick her up for lunch in a tux and take her some place nice, have a table reserved with flowers on the table. You could take her for a picnic if you are lucky enough to live in a nice warm weather area with a packed lunch. If you know her boss good enough have him call her in to the office first thing in the morning, be in the office already and steal her away for the day. The boss could even make it mandatory for her. lol
I agree with getting her family and friends together also maybe for a dinner without her knowing. You could wait on her hand and foot all day, my wife suggested that one. Just feel how much you love her and let your heart and feelings decide. No, she would not like a new exhaust for her car that just happens to fit yours. I said your feelings for her not the car.
