What should I get my wife as a gift...

[tk2kewl]

for our son's imminent birth?

She likes jewelry but I always feel like jewelry is a cop out gift.

1. it's not a cop out if that's what she likes!

every man I have dated has had fatal allergies to jewelry stores.


(that's the only explanation I can come up with)

[tk2kewl]

2. Maybe I'm allergic too.

:P

18. We are thinking of the horrible human rights abuses that go into creating jewelry.

And worse, that go into forcing us into jewelry stores to spend ungodly amounts of cash on something that, face it, we think of as ugly and distracting. :)

3. Seems to me that getting her a beautiful piece of jewelry

in honor of your son's birth....

Would be the smartest thing you could do!

She will never forget it....

:hug:

BTW...early congrats! I hope all goes well...

6. My husband got me a ring with the birthstone of each of my

kids when I had them.

I have subsequently put them on my charm bracelet. A very nice gesture, IMHO.

9. that's an idea.

11. Are you folks religious?

Reason I ask is that I know a woman in MA who makes rosary beads/chaplets from roses, so if you were to get your wife a bouquet at the birth, she would take a couple of the roses and fashion rosary beads from them.

They are beautiful. I had some made when my mom passed away and had some made for my daughters and my son as well.

PM me if you want the information, I'll send you the website.

12. Thanks for the offer, but we are both essentially agnostics.

:hi:

[Midlodemocrat]

13. I forgot. Congrats on the upcoming blessed event!

14. Check out this site for great ideas

This site has helped me many times to come up with great gift ideas

16. that's an easy one to remember.

i will keep that in mind the many times i get stuck for a good gift

15. Go with what she likes

It's not a cop-out especially if she likes jewelry. I think your wife would treasure that particular piece of jewelry and it would be a very meaning gift to pass on to the child in who's honor it was purchased many years down the line. Every time she looks at it, she'll think of you and that baby and it will make her heart smile. JMO

17. i think you are right...

now i need to find out how much fricken rubies (july birth stone) cost.

[Rabrrrrrr]

19. Get her a set of golf clubs in your size, and a box of cigars.

I mean, geez - she wouldn't be pregnant if you hadn't already given her a gift. What more does she need?

[HEyHEY]

21. A stroller!

[tk2kewl]

22. already got it.

[tandot]

23. A bunch of "free babysitting" certificates and coupons for a beauty or massage salon

...but then, I am not too big into jewelry. Maybe you could give her both?
