Hey everyone its my wifes 21st birthday. What should i get her for her birthday and how should i make it special. We have a 1 year old daughter so nothing too crazy lol

numba1packfan : You could take her on a date to the first place you two met. And for a gift you could give her a photo album full of pictures that review your life together up to that day. I know those are probably silly ideas I can think of different ones if you like its just I don't know your wifes taste so I can't really suggest a good gift to suit her. Just romantic ones.

She likes the typical stuff like presents, a cake and a party or dinner but what really does it for her are the special extras that show her I care. They especially come in handy when you’re out of town on her birthday and need to do some extra just to make it seem less than normal.

Here are some ways to add a little extra to her special day.

1. Let her sleep in. This is especially important if you have children.

2. Feed the family. Three meals a day is a huge responsibility. You can’t give her a day off without taking that one over for her. The kid(s) may not be pleased with PB & J three times in a row… but Mom will love it!

3. Make sure she owns her current top 5 favorite songs. Thanks to iTunes and the like, it’s easy to purchase a lot of good music without spending a ton on a full CD like we did back in the day. Find out what she’s listening to on the radio, interpret the sketchy description, and purchase your best guess for her.

4. Write her a list of things you love about her. Your lady doesn’t realize how much you appreciate her. You don’t appreciate her enough. Writing up a huge list of things you love and appreciate is good for both of you.

5. Clean out and detail her car. Maybe you do this already… then do it again… and make it smell really good!

6. Clean her house and do the dishes. Do an extra good job. Pull the sofa away from the wall. Move the TV. Vacuum and dust like mad. Get the kids involved. Light a new Yankee Candle you picked up to make it even better.

7. Candles, novels or movies. Chances are your wife is in to one or more of those three things. Buy some. What candles does she have that are low? She wants a new one. What movies has she seen and enjoyed? Pick up a copy.

8. Ask the kids what they appreciate about their Mom. Help them make a card and write it out for them (unless they’re big enough to do it themselves).

9. Massages. Buy some massage oil to make it even better (and easier on your hands).
and I'd like to add flowers maybe-skip the chocolates

DBDonald : I think that taking her back to the place we met is a great idea except we met in 8th grade over 7 years ago and met at my neighboors birthday party lol i dont think they'll let me in there house. we are highschool sweethearts and have never broken up. Ive done a lot of the romantic stuff and am running out of ideas.

UserMike : those are some really good ideas ill probably do most of those if not all of them

Sorry for leaving out more info on my wife. But she is obviously turning 21 and she loves to bake, play volleyball, listen to music (hip-hop,pop music), and candles.

numba1packfan : Maybe try and go to the place you had you're first date? Or maybe going some place that is significant to her, like I took my girlfriend to Edgar Allan Poe's grave on Halloween as a special occasion for us since we both love Edgar Allan Poe. And for our anniversary we went to Outback Steak house just the two of us and I let her pick what ever she wanted.

Well, take care of all the chores for her, and how about a romantic dinner?

First of all Happy Birthday to your wife.
Since she likes volleyball you and her should go to a court and play it while somebody watches your kid.
And after that you two could just sit at home with candles burning and listen to hip-hop and/or pop music. I'm not too romantic but they're just suggestions, you do what you want to do for your wife.

Thanks everyone for the good suggestions. I will certainly consider all of them. Somtimes its nice to just get some opinions
