Looking for unique ideas, that won't make me have to take out a huge loan or second mortgage to pay for. Not looking for flowers, jewelry, makeup, clothes, or PJ's, lingere, lotions or perfumes. Something unique. Something that shows I put some thought into it, or at least took the time to ask some one or research it on Yahoo! Answers....LOL. Best answer gets the points. I want her to open the gift and know it is special and that I love her and that she is still beautiful, fun and sexy to me. Does such a gift exist? A gift that says it all?

Write or type up some personal coupons for evenings out, foot rubs, back rubs, bubble baths, hanky panky, etc.

Absolutely! Research your local Spas and treat her to a day all about her and pampering her. Start with a manicure, pedicure, hotrock massage, followed by a facial and a seaweed wrap - or makeup application...make sure you have arranged the kids to be looked after and make sure afterwards you go to a special romantic dinner just the two of you afterwards - NO KIDS ALLOWED. Try to get an overnight sitter for the kids so the day and night is extra extra special. Bring back the magic! Glad to hear there are still guys like you out there! Have fun and I hope you find the special magic answer you are looking for.....All the best.

I second the suggestion for a B&B or spa. I took my wife to Hawaii last year for her birthday. As far as other ideas, consider books (does she like to cook, garden, etc) or movies DVD collection?
Another option: a family photo session at one of your local photo shops, so you have a holiday card photo for December.
Another option: offer to go together to pick out new home linens or something else that she's been grumbling about. If you do something like this, you can also follow up with a surprise small gift and dinner on the birthday.
My wife doesn't care about the surprise factor and in fact she will often suggest the birthday gift to me, but the key piece is picking it out either on your own or together.
good luck!

I think you should surprise her, maybe a weekend get away at a nice hotel or casino hotel. Or even if you have a beach or some lake front cabins that you can rent....something you've never did before.....and that she would totally freak out to. Take care of everything before hand......have her already packed.....and when she comes home (assuming that she works), make her get in the car and go. I also llke the idea of a bed and breakfast that was mentioned earlier. Best of luck to you and have a great time.......

Find a bed and breakfast in some little community near where you live. Take her there and give her the full-metal-jacket pampering treatment. These kind of places are not too expensive and, according to my wife, can be very romantic because it is about the two of you spending time together in a low stress, high romance atmosphere. Make it about spending time together. Oh and definitely bring or arrange for a really good cake or real high-quality chocolates -- chicks dig that.
Best of luck.

How about a hot air balloon ride or a certificate/appointment for a full body massage at a spa?
A day of relaxation and pampering would let her know you know how hard she's working. Maybe buy her a whole new, sexy outfit, and leave clues where she is supposed to meet you. (dinner or lavish hotel/bed & breakfast)
Depending on where you live, a pre-planned dinner cruise or boating excursion.
Good luck! Hope some of these helped!

Find a unique quiet place with a bed and breakfast..Sit and let her know how special she is..If possible go for a walk hand in hand. That romantic setting with dinner maybe some wine..just a hand written poem about her will be the best gift she could get.

My husband surprised me by booking a dinner cruise! He kept it a complete secret, did all the planning himself, drove up to the dock and said "lets go honey" - it was so romantic, and so unexpected. If you're not near water..... they also have nice dinner trains. It was a perfect gift, from the heart, and I'll never forget it. Good luck! You're a special guy to give it such thought.

Taking a guess you have children. Gather up all the pictures of your children. From small to now. Take them and have them put on a cd like a movie. they can edit this for you. If no children of yourself. This is something you both will enjoy. If you really want to let her know she is special that brings tears to my wifes eyes or voice get real sexy sounding. Send her flowers like today when there is no special occassion. It gets them everytime. Good luck i have been married 26 years

take her somewhere that she would enjoy, or make her a dinner with candles on the table, something that says that you appreciate how much work she does. take her away for a weekend, it doesnt have to be somewhere expensive just somewhere romantic. where did you go for your first date or a special date that you had together. also send your mother in law a thank you card forgiving you such a special gift of your wife.

Day Spa! Full package, hair cut, manacure, pedicure, 45 min massage, facial, brand new terry bathrobe and flip flop slippers (saw some really soft ones at JC Penny's in accessories) Have them do a total make over with make up and a new outfit. After her day of pampering take her out for a quiet picnic dinner.
