Hi Guys,

I hope you can help. It's my 10th Wedding anniversary next week and I can't for the life of me think of any romantic gifts that I can buy my wife .

Can you give me some ideas. I'm looking for something cute and quirky.

Thanks in advance guys,

trueromantic

I would try posting the same question in the relationships forum. Probably get more responses that way.

The best present you can get a woman is something she mentioned she wanted, in passing, some time ago. It's special because it shows you were listening and remembered.

You could take her to afternoon tea at The Biltmore. It's a beautiful old hotel.

Take lots of photos of her, bring them to the art department of a local college and commission a book of drawings from different students, different styles, different media. You can haggle on the price per piece. It would be nice to have the artists write comments on the back. They'll probably be nice ones, considering it's a commission.

Go to the teacher first for recommendations whom to choose. The teacher can give you a ballpark on what amount to offer; ask about the lowest price.

Thank you for your responses guys. I finally found a gift at loveparcels.com.

I took your suggestion Bunjee and wanted to make it really personal. So I took a couple of really nice photos of us together and created personalised M&Ms and presented them to her in a ribboned box. I also got her a couple of quirky body pillow cases. All this was accompanied with flowers and a romantic dinner.

I guess the moral of the story is that as long as you put some thought into she's happy with whatever you give her.

Thanks for your reply guys.
