Honey...is that you? Just kidding. Your wife sounds a lot like me. And my hubby has asked that question several times. I make it twice as hard for him because I'm not materialistic so here's what he does. Every once in awhile he'll leave me a love letter telling me just about everything you just said. He'll bring me flowers for no occassion other than they reminded him of the smell of my perfume. He'll make me and the kids breakfast every Sunday as he tells me how lucky he is. It's going to be the little things that reach her heart honey. Knowing and believing that you appreciate her in this way alone says alot and will warm her heart. I suggest keeping it simple for her. Some people are just natural born givers...your wife is one of them. If you plan on giving her something of value, it'll be hard for her to accept as she thinks about what else the money could have been used for. So do something that touches her heart. Take her out on a date and tell her this stuff over dinner, fill up the bath tub full of bubbles and bath oil and pamper her for the night. Make it practical and she will love it even more.

First...pat yourself on the back, 'migo!!! I only WISH my husband would ask a question like this!
I don't know how old your wife is nor what kind of stuff she likes, but she sounds pretty selfless - putting others before herself..maybe more than she SHOULD!
I'd try to get a sense of something she's always dreamed about, a fancy dinner, a cruise, a hike in the woods, a weekend away with you..it's all dependant upon the woman.
Talk to her, ask (but don't give it away). Find out what she likes the best (suprise!...it PROBABLY isn't a stupid diamond!). and plan a getaway for the 2 of you, somewhere she'd like.
Time alone with you is probably the 2nd most precious thing...the other being YOU telling her she's the most important thing in your life!
Take her away to her dream destination, even if it's just for a weekend and love her. MAKE love to her..and not just physically. Tell her she's the most beautiful woman in the world!
OMIGOD...I wish my husband appreciated me like you do your wife! I'm going to show this to him!
Baby...YOU are one HELL of a catch!

Tell her that .. just hearing those words can mean so much to her.
If you want to do something special then give her a day to be pampered. Take care of the kids, the house, the family and everything in between. Have her goto the spa for the day.. that evening take her to dinner, give her flowers and tell her why you love her. Romance her but most importantly tell her how much you appreciate her.
My husband did something amazing for me .. we were in Jamaica but you can do the same thing he did. We spent a romantic evening out of the hotel room .. went to the beach to cuddle. When I returned back into the room ... there were rose petals all over the floor .. all over the bed .. and a nice warm bubble bath waiting for me. As well as rose petals and candle light. It was one of the most romantic things anyone has every done for me.

Get her a day off! Take some of the burdon off her. She has got to be exaughsted! One of the most romantic, touching things a loving husband like yourself could do is get a sitter, get her a new hair-do/manicure, give her a gift certificate for an outfit, and go out on a real grown-up date. Or...You take the wheel at home a day and tell her it is her day off. She will love you for it. Just help her when you can so she doesn't burn out and resent you all for it. Superwoman she sounds like, but superwoman she is not. Good luck.

Write her a letter and hire a baby sitter and take her out.. Paris baby I love it there. Those words that you just expressed above would be enough you are a great man and have a great woman your kids are truly blessed to have a mother like her ....
Have fun

Love her very much. Then you tell her how much you love her for everything she does for you and the family. Show her by hugs and kisses. Then do nice things for HER. Bring her flowers, and even give her something just for her, like a day at a spa, or something.

just thank her often for starters, then take her somewhere where you know she'll have no worries before or after the event you treat her to . find some where about 1 hr. away take her for an overnight visit or try a spa that is always just about her .

I like simple thank you's, a kiss, and I appreciate all you do for us ...but you could do something that makes her feel special. Take her out on a date, send her flowers or buy her a card, treat her to a spa day (or something that she enjoys). We all tend to take those for grantid that we care about, just make sure you tell her that you love and appreciate her.

Let her see what you just told us. Sounds like you have the best of both worlds. Give that woman a standing ovation.
