Women advice on what to buy?

My wife is turning 36. We have been married for 11 years and have 3 children. Money is tight this year. She is not expecting me to get her anything for her birthday because of finances. I really want to get her something or make her something. Can anyone give me advice on the ultimate gift without paying the ultimate price. Help!!!Women advice on what to buy?
The Best thing my husband ever game me was he made a CD of all the songs that reminded him of me and writing a letter to her telling her how special she is to you.....homemade presents are always the best they come from the heart.....Women advice on what to buy?
Find a babysitter and take your wife out on a picnic by a river or lake. With three kids, ';alone time'; can be very precious.
get her flowers and a love card.
Gee, dude, all you have to do is go find a dollar store, and just get ';something'; - a pair of earrings, a bracelet, or a knicknack with a heart on it -- that's all it has to be. Give up buying yourself ONE coffee, and do that for her.
A small painting will be great. Starting from $99, see http://www.paintyourlife.com/





All you need is send them a pic of what you want and they deliver your painting to the door.

Take a day and pamper HER. Let her relax while you deal with the kids, clean the house, and cook dinner. Once dinner is over.. and the kids are in bed.. run her a nice bubble bath. Bring her a glass of whatever her favorite beverage is and allow her to just soak her troubles away. When she's done.. help her dry off and then give her a very romantic, sensual massage.(With some lotion or body oil).. Just cater to her. A lot of people are under the misconception that you have to buy a woman expensive things to make her happy. I'm a firm believer that the sweet memories last far longer than the material ones. Best of luck..
Pamper her . Cook her favorite meal. Run her a bubble bath %26amp; give her a head to toe massage.
A photo frame with a recent candid (not posed) shot of the two of you in it. Or, if she has a hobby or interest, get something small for that or a paperback.
Give her the night off. Cook her dinner, complete with candlelight and music. Give her a simple pedicure (soak her feet in scented water, massage them with lotion, and finish it off by painting her toenails). Make her a card. You can write a poem or just something heartfelt. You don't need to spend a lot of money to make your wife feel loved and special.
Get a babysitter overnight and spend the night making her feel loved. Cook her dinner. Watch movies. Stay up late. Give her a massage. Sleep in (which you surely don't get to do with kids around). She'll love it.
Burn a CD with both of your's favorite Love Songs and Cook her a Romatic Dinner for Two,with wine and candle light (send the children to the relatives) Buy a $5 bouquet of flowers with a card, Run her a nice Bubble Bath with candles lit all around it and then wash her back. Then just Cuddle up a watch her Favourite Movie. That should be Economical yet Romantic enough.
i don't know how young your kids are but my husband had the kids make me a card with there own notes in it and for the baby her foot and hand prints and they made me dinner. i loved it so much and i am a young mom just like her.

You've probaly heard of Bath and Body Works. Though some of the stuff there is really pricey, they're always having sales and women love sweet smelling stuff. Stop by there or maybe go to Godiva Chocolates. Buying her something sweet and fancy is a good idea. If not, try getting her some music she likes or even a book!





And tell her I said Happy Birthday!
This was once done for me and was the best gift ever....





I came home after a long week at work. My husband was in the kitchen making dinner and told me to go upstairs and get comfortable while he finished cooking. I got to the top of the stairs and there was rose petals leading into the bathroom where he had just finished running a hot bath with rose petals in the tub. On the ledge of the tub were candles, strawberries and a glass of wine. After my luxurious bath, I went to the bedroom and found a new nightgown laid out on the bed. When I went downstairs, he had the table set with candles and flowers with soft music in the background. Not only was it inexpensive, but also the most romantic and relaxing evening of my life!





I would suggest going to Walmart for candles, nightie and any other items as they have a nice selection at resqnable prices!





Good luck!
Here's the most cost effective gift you can give her and it's guaranteed to make both of you happy! Find a babysitter, clean the house, cook dinner, and give her a nice massage. Not only will she adore you for the time out from the house work and the kids, but she'll love the pampering! Who knows maybe you'll even get lucky. Good Luck!
Send her out to visit someone. Clean the house, put the kids to bed, light some candles. Then, run her a bath, rub her whole body and have great sex with the focus being on her. Before and /or afterward, spend some time cuddling and talking.





If you want to add a bit more, check out your local dollar store for bath accessories and candles etc. Some of the stuff they carry is awesome, just smell it first.
Do you have a friend with a digital camera? If so, get the kids all together at a park or somewhere nice and have your firend snap a few family shots of all of you. Wal-Mart or Target has ';Memory Frames'; where it holds the picture in the middle and you can write a message around the border. Get a family picture in the middle and then write a special message to your wife for her B' Day and put your kids handprints around the border. Should all be less that $20, but the keepsake will be worth a lot more!
