Clean the house, cook dinner for her, and give her some free time to read or relax.

Time is a great gift! You could take her out to a classy restaurant or to the theater for a play or a ballet or something. You could get her a day at a spa for a massage and facial. Pamper her a little. If you have children, you could give her a day away to have some time to herself or with her girlfriends.

I would go for something small and thoughtful, rather than "inexpensive".  If you talked with your FIL (father-in-law), I'm sure you could gather some quick information about the things she likes to do, her favorite cologne and such.  Maybe she's into crochet or knitting, then you could buy a pattern book and some yarn.  Or maybe she's into golf, you could get her some club-covers or some personalized golf-balls.  Or maybe she's into photography, you could get her a new camera bag.\n\nSome other, more general, ideas off the top of my head are:\n\nHallmark (or Wal-Mart, if you prefer) has some nice photo ablums, memory boxes and such.  \n\nA scrap-book starter kit with everything she needs except the photos to get started with scrap-booking.  \n\nA "frou-frou" bath set with bath crystals, lotion, soaps, ect.\n\nA gift certificate to a local salon for a manicure and/or pedicure.\n\nA robe and nightgown set.\n\nA set of mittens with a scarf and hat.\n\nIf all else fails, get a gift certificate for some place nice like "Bed, Bath and Beyond" or a nice restaurant as a couple's gift.

Pack a suitcase with one outfit for tomorrow. Put it in the car. Make a reservation for a hotel room with a jacuzzi in it and send some flowers there. When she gets home blind fold her and take her to her ravishing spot. Its all you from there bud.

Some of the people who answered obviously didn't know you are 15 and short of cash!  You said it's your 'anniversary' but which one?  Month?  Three months?  Six months? Year? If it's a year, I think you should do something special.  If you can't afford a dinner out, can you go to a market, get some chicken and salad, and go for a picnic? \n\nI would give her a small gift, something she can treasure for a long time.  I like butterflies so I have lots of them in all shapes and sizes and I appreciate people who add to my collection.  Does she like something too?  Unicorns? Ladybugs? etc. Or you could start a collection for her.  Tell her that she reminds you of a .........  and give her a little ..........  (butterfly, ladybug, angel, etc.) \n\nDoes she like fancy chocolates?  They can be very expensive but sometimes you can buy just one or two. (hedgehogs, for instance). And balloons are usually a big hit!  Maybe you can find a lovely card too. (or make one) Remember to tell her that she is very special to you......  :o)

try and think of something personal... something only you and her have experienced and try and make it part of a gift, jewelery, scrap book, anything that comes from the heart...   just remember it doesn't matter how much money you spend its the thought that counts! good luck! :)

It is Monday afternoon for me and I am even MORE BORED.  However, I have tomorrow off work and my parents are returning from a month in America so I will see them for a couple of hours tomorrow.  If I were you I would go out and do something you don't usually do with your wife (and I don't mean anything rude).  Could you go and see a film she wouldn't enjoy?  Go shopping or see friends?  Do something around the house?  I'm sure, if you put your mind to it, there are lots of things you can find to occupy your time.  Get the house ready for her return - cook something nice, have a bath ready for her when she returns.  Have a bottle of wine chilling...

Have you tried a sensual massage? \n\nPlan a romantic night dinner, candles Oh and slip her a note 1 week in advance to have her book the apppointment. \nDont tell her any thing just make sure she will be there. \n\nKeep slipping hints all week long. leave a rose on her desk at work and don't let her see you do it. \nSend her an Email greeting card with naughty idea's \nsend her a blindfold the day before dinner. \n\nthat day leave some oil in her purse with a note. \n"DON"T LOOSE ME YOUR GOING TO NEED THIS" \nThe little hints all week long should have her wet in anticapation. \n\nThat night greet her at the door with a glass of wine. dress up really nice. wear a apron for visual effect " AND TO HIDE YOUR HARDON" have her come into the house and relax. ask her how her day was. maybe have her sit down and while your talking gently rub her feet. \nafter about 15 to 20 min. excuse your self and serve dinner. make it romantic. \nAfter dinner have her go sit down and you go clean up the mess in the kitchen. then go prepare the bedroom. I suggest puting padding on the floor and ALOT of candles around the room but it's up to you. \nNEXT fill the tub with a nice warm bubble bath. try using her fav if possible, if not visit the store and ask a female clerk. just about any thing would work. \nonce the bath is set. go back into the Living room and collect your wife.\n(( first blindfold her)) Then slowly start removing her clothes. DON"t let her help you. take your time and caress her skin, as you remove an item of clothing explore the area with your hands, lips or even use the hair on your head. place gentle kisses on it. After about 30 Min of caressing her lead her into the bathroom. and help her enter the tub. Try to leave the blindfold on if possible. \nNext use a laufa sponge and gently clense her body. make sure you rub it every where. Work on the legs and feet especially. And on her back, but and scalp. Hopefully the water will stay warm for about 30 min. Spend 15 min. washing her down. then let her relax for the next 15 min. in the mean time warm up the OIL. and prepare the room for the massage. make sure the tempature is above 80 degree's for her comfort. OH and have wash clothe handy siting in cool water.  \nnow go back to the bathroom and collect your wife. dry her off and leave the blindfold in place. or replace it with a dry one. =) Gide her into the room, and have her lay face down. warm your hands up and place them on her back for a moment and just pause. count to 50 slowly and just focus on the though of relaxation. \n\nNOW place some warm oil in your hands gently spread the oil to cover her back. work slowly and gentle into the muscles. Do not put any pressure on her spine this only hurts instead work the muscles next to the spine. and along the shoulder blades. The move to the feet and work up the legs. \nas you reach the hips. gentle caress her eroginious zones, then move back down and slide up slowly again. once you have worked the leg work on the Butt area of that leg. \nbe careful with the oil. around her vagin* but feel free to touch her around the *nus. GENTLY at this point "LISTEN" to seee if she is comfortable or does not like this. DO NOT insert your finger into the *nus just rub around it. Now move back to the other leg and repeat the same sequence. \n\nonce finished have her roll over.\nRemove the blindfold and place the cool clothe on her eyes\nnow work from the legs up. once you reach the "Y" stop and work the other leg. then move to arms into the breast. and finish with the stomach. and vagin* \nAllow her an orgams now and once she is finished move to her head and give a scalp massage. this will allow her to calm down. \n\nAfter this see what happens. \n\nGL mate\nGod Bless

These ideas are some from gifts my husband has given me, or I have heard of from other women, or things that I want :)  So maybe they will help you imagine what would work for you!  :)  This is kinda fun!! lol\nA ticket for a weekend for two at a romantic Bed and Breakfast\nA check for her to use for her - only her - for personal things and clothes.\nI would love very very nice pajamas with a matching robe (but if she is a mother with young kids she probably would want something more practical)\njewelry - the best, of course, or the best that you can afford.\na jewelry cabinet - they are the big ones that are like mini dressers - the run from 99. to over 400.  It holds alot of jewelry!\nA special piece of furniture - an antique rocker, antique hope chest - I would personally love it if he bought something from an antique store but she might prefer new things.\nwhatever her hobby might be - give her somethign that is really cool in her realm of hobbies - like very nice easel for painting, or new oil paints and expensive sable brushes, or waterpaints, or a gift certificate for her favorite hobby store.....  this would work for me but not all women and you would know if it would work for your wife!  \nplane tickets to a warm beautiful place for a vacation for the two of you for sometime in January!  wow -THAT would be cool!\nI know that I buy myself stuff through out the year but when Christmas comes - I want something I wouldn't normally buy myself, something seen as extravagant, something that makes me feel like I am really special to the person that bought it for me.  \nA special gift from an antique store just melts my heart.  That means that it is more than likely one of a kind and really specially chosen for me.   But if she doesn't have those same feelings then she might think it's junk and that you were cheap! yikes!\nAnother thing is if she has shown any interest - you could call your local university and see if the adult ed classes are having dancing lessons and you could sign you and her up for a few weeks of dancing classes.  The classes all over the U.S. are filling up with people who have never danced before who want to learn.  My husband and I went last summer and while we probably flunked the classes, we laughed the whole time we were in the class and had a great time!  It was a lot of fun!\nYou can also ask a female relative or one of your wife's best friends what she might be wanting and what they think.  Not knowing your wife makes it hard for me to answer, but on the other hand I am telling you things that might be new and different, too.  :)\nVery best of luck to you and your wife is really lucky to have a thoughtful (and early!) husband!!

i would recommend your time and love its not about whats physical give her a day of rest. If money is an obstacle just tell her how much she means to you and make her feel like the queen for a day every mother deserves it!

There are probably a million things that you can do for him for his birthday without costing you anything. Men are really not all that different from woman in what pleases them. Think of what you would like and go from there. You probably wouldn't even have to leave the bedroom let alone the house. Good luck and have fun.

I know i'm not married, nor a man. but we girls can still help u out tho :p. u don't need to spend much money to do something romantic and special for ur wife, u guys can go on to the roof at night cuddle together looking at the moon and stars and give her a beautiful rose. It'd melt any lady's heart, or just make a special dinner for her. Walk along the beach watching the sun rise would be good enough. There's many ideas u can think of :)\nGood luck, and have fun!

I would give her some luggage with a little note:  "Now that you have your wings, celebrate with flight."  If you have the money, perhaps you could get a deal on a ticket somewhere where she could go for a short vacation.  You could go, too!!\n\nBest wishes for both of you!!\n\nCosmicKelly :)
