Valentine's Day gift?

[Dan Hintz]

It's not hard to tell who doesn't have a wife.

I was thinking it wouldn't be hard to tell who won't have a wife for very much longer...

This was a hit with my bride last year. I wanted to make something small, but meaningful (awww). She is a retired high school English teacher and an anglophile so who better to quote?

The heart is made of two heart shaped acrylic pieces, a smaller 1/8" mirror, and a slightly larger red 1/8" glued to a mirror base. I used 1/8" red standoffs to give some depth and keep any glue from wrecking the mirror. It's only 3" high, but has a prominent place in our house.

This reminds me that I better get going; thanks for the reminder.

Steve....that's really nice.....I like idea of the etched lines in the shape of a heart....very cool. And thanks for sharing the cdr.

How about a frying pan or maybe a vacuum cleaner, wives LOVE that stuff!

Our anniversary is Feb 12th (27 years) and with valentines day on the 14th when we are getting groceries this weekend if there are other women in the aisle with the brooms and mops when we are there I'll tell the wife

"with our anniversary and valentines day coming up why don't you pick yourself out a broom or a mop, get a good one or one of each if you like"

I usually get some looks from some of the other women in the aisle, the wife she is used to it, cause she's heard it around her birthday and Christmas too

Well, I can tell you from experience that anything with a cord is not considered a gift--contrary to what most of us on SMC think.

For my wife it goes like this: diamonds, gold, designer handbags, money, dinner. In that order.

We usually do dinner.

Battery operated has no cord. I saw this really nice panasonic.....

[George Brown]

Ha! That's a very real concern.
Plus my wife already KNOWS I'm cheap. OK, Hallmark card and some flowers, I guess. It's easier anyway.

It's the thought that counts!

Nothing with batteries, or you could be replaced

Attachment 110070Besides the wooden flowers I posted on another thread, I made my wife this marble plaque. She cried. Now this evening she want's to show it to her mom - talk about crying... It's going to be long evening.

Addition: The top two pics are from the early '50s and were crinkled and torn, the bottom one was a 40+ year old polaroid that was badly faded.

[Steve Eide]

Very nicely done. I like the idea of several pictures under one theme.

[James Rambo]

I'm quit sure that I was not thinking too clearly when I got married 1st son born 5 months later) . But my wife's birthday is Feb. 8 and our anniversary is Feb. 12 and everyone knows what today is, Right? But I think my wife has heard all the puns and jokes in the last 32 years we have been together.

P.s. I am pretty lucky she really does not like jewelry.
