How do I top that?!?
So - I had a milestone birthday yesterday and my wife suprised me with a stretch limo at the door. She took a picnic of grapes and good cheese and crackers and fed me these in the limo on the way to a REAALY good sushi restaurant. After dinner we went for an extended "ride" in the stretch.
So - now, her milestone birthday is at the end of January and I'm now required (as the man) to completely outdo her surprise.... Any suggestions? I looked into having James Taylor play a personal concert in our backyard but apparently that restraining order is still in place...

Have a limo pick her up at work and take her to an all day spa.. When the limo brings her home, have rose petals spread all over the bed with a heart made out of hershy kisses in the middle of it.... Be naked and tie a big red bow around your body.....

A romantic weekend away from day-day life - no cell phones, no laptops, no TV. Maybe a B&B somewhere that has a nice fireplace in the bedroom. A bottle of Gran Manier lying in front of the fireplace......

Well think real hard about something she's talked about wanting and get her that. Flowers if she's into them, and a nice dinner.

I find that clear, bright rocks stuck on shinney gold colored metal works pretty well.

This takes a little planning, but it's pretty effective: You (or better yet, have one of her friends) contact all her old friends, especially those long lost school friends she always talks about getting back in touch with, but never does. You invite them to town for a night. You divide them up into groups of 2 or 3 and give each group a different bar to be in at a certain time. Then you have a limo pick up your wife alone from work or home. The limo driver has the list of bars- he takes her to the first one, she sees the first group, they have a big hug-fest and a drink then they all get into the limo. On to the next one, and so on and so on, until they've all been picked up into one big raucous reunion-fest. The last stop is a big party where you and the significant others will be waiting. It works even better if you schedule the pick-ups so that the older, longer lost friends are towards the end- each stop is another tearful surprise.

That's actually a pretty good one!
I was thinking about inviting all of her friends - but the putting them at different bars is a good plan. Not sure they'd all fit in a limo though.

I went to a wedding this past weekend and the bridal party actually had a Party Bus---Resembled one that you would use at the airport but it was decked out like a limo complete with internet. But I say screw the limo bit, get a babysitter and jet off to the bahama's or caribbean for a short weekend.
Edit: Clarification---Take your wife on the trip not the babysitter

Now you disappoint me, James. Man and women are equal or perhaps women are more (better) than men. Let her know it and go to to McDonalds, get a happy meal and then go to a first class hotel with a nice room and bath.

How much money are we talkin about here?
Have a helicopter land in the parking lot at work and you come out with flowers in hand. Then you both get into the helicopter and fly off to a weekend getaway in the Poconos or some place like that....

Or if it is the big 50 you could buy her a walker and a cane to beat you with... And of course you can always but some Viagra for her....
