Tell me I'm a good wife

Sunday is Rob's 30th birthday and Monday is our anniversary. I have been racking my brain on what gift I would give him. It's sad but I could think of nothing tangible to get him. Nothing. He's a huge sports fan. I finally got an idea today and I knew it would be expensive. I jumped on ebay and paid a "buy it now" price ( I don't even want to say how much I spent ) for tickets to Saturday's Phillies vs. Giants NLCS game in Philly. I also spent a ridiculous amount of money on a hotel room. We could probably drive home afterwards but probably wouldn't get home until 3am (The game is at 7:30pm).  I requested overnight shipping on the tickets (even more money) so I plan to give him a card on Thurs or Fri with the tickets in it. I want to tell him in advance in case he wants to cancel the hotel room and make the late drive home. This is a good gift, right? Your hubbies would want this gift, right?

Re: Tell me I'm a good wife

  • It's a great gift as long as your budget can afford it.  Drew would love it if I did a gift like that.  Unfortunately, our budget just wouldn't allow for that without pulling from our savings, and that's off limits right now.  So, as long as you can afford it in your budget, I'm sure he'll love it!!

  • My first thought is forget Rob and take me.

    You are a wonderful wife for doing that though. As long as you know it fits into your budget, and he won't be upset about the extra money being set (not that I think he would) you have given him a great 30th Birthday/2nd Anniversary gift.

  • Trust me, it's on a credit card (one that's only in my name and Rob doesn't have access to). I didn't have unlimited funds just laying around.

  • It's his 30th birthday.  I say this justifies the extra spending.

    I can't show this post to my DH, because he'd be so super jealous.

  • You're not a good wife, you're an AWESOME wife! If Rob is anything like Les (a borderline crazy sportsfan), he'll think that gift is the gift of all gifts. Nice work!!!
  • My DH would be all over that, you're a good wife.
  • That's awesome! I'm sure he'll be thrilled.

  • That is an awesome gift, going to a game like that is not an opportunity that comes around very often.  I'm jealous!  You are going to have so much fun!  (Although I'm a Giants fan so I hope you don't have TOO much fun!)  Wink
