OT: I got a little bit of a situation here

[volfan_28]

My wife's 30th bday is Friday. I haven't got anything for her. Think she's expecting something special, but she knows we're BROKE so I gotta get creative. I SUCK AT CREATIVE. Any ideas?

I'm going to get roasted for this but roast away. What about a framed handwritten love letter. you can get a nice frame for cheap. And a box of candy if she has a sweet tooth or a bouquet of flowers if she's a flower girl.

THIS IS A CRISIS MATT! ALL HANDS ON DECK

Hey, a woman scorned and all...

 

[Volfan76]

I've got a UT flag that I will sell you cheap....don't know if she will like it though. Kinda makes me sick at my stomach every time I pull in the driveway and see it.

Make a $12 million donation to the Athletic Department in her name. Buyout the Thumb, and hire Hugh Freeze.

She will be VERY appreciative...if you know what I mean.

Drum ensemble performance by Coach Freeze his coaching staff like they did for Kongbo.

I do a pretty good hetero lap dance...when I turn my walker backwards...cheap too

Are you sure she doesn't visit the forum? You could be in way more trouble than just not getting a gift...

No offense, but if you own a computer or smartphone that’s capable of logging in to Volnation, then you’re not broke. Go make your wife happy

 

[joevol33]

Spend time with her if money is an issue. That's underrated, and more valuable than we realize.

 

[jctenn1]

make her a Birthday card..and write how special she is and how much you love her in it..get creative with the card..
sometimes the best gifts are the ones that come from the heart....

Do you have kids?

 

[vols_fan_68]

Make dinner for her, take a shower, dress up a little, and dance with her in kitchen, women love that stuff.

What a bunch of helpful ****ers we all are.. hahaha

That's a good point, actually. If I sell my phone to buy her a nice gift it'll come across as a loving sacrifice with the added bonus of her not being able to track my location!! Kidding of course.

I did the framed love letter along with a pic of us holding hands(only the hands) . It saved my azz and got me some good loving !

 

[volfan_28]

Do you have kids?

Two. 4 and 1. Both girls.

 

[RoanokeVol]

Make a donation in her name to The Human Fund.

Write her a letter.

Picnic.

Go to a key party.

Just spitballing here...

Recall some of her fondest childhood memories and create a situation that takes her back there...on the cheap, photos, how you remember the first time she told you about it, have someone that haves knowledge of it to contribute memories via you, etc..

We should sticky this thread and use it for birthdays, anniversaries, Valentines Day and Christmas. This is like a treasure trove for lost male souls looking to not screw up.

 

[McDad]

Make a "coupon" book of nice things for her to "cash in" over the year. Have your kids help with the project. Make it look like you put some real care into putting it together.
Ex:
massage.
foot rub
candle light dinner at home
date night
2 or 3 honeydo coupons for stuff around the house.
weekend getaway
cook her favorite meal
'babysit' kids while she joins her friends for a girls outing.
pedicure/manicure

Or whatever she likes.

Years ago, I bought my wife a Pandora bracelet for our anniversary. Initial costs can be fairly expensive depending on the starter bracelet but if your wife is like mine and she loves sentimental gifts; it pays off when/if times get tough because the charms range anywhere from $15-$200. I can always get her a new charm without breaking the bank and she loves it every time!
