Need help with a present.

[Sixgun]

Some of you may know my wife has colon and liver cancer. Half of her colon has been removed and she still has 3 baseball size tumors in her liver. Chemo kicks her ass, 6 days after treatment, then 5-6 days of being able to get around and function as a mom before get chemo again. FEB. 28 is her 38th birthday and I want to get her something extra cool.
Any ideas would be appeciated.
She doesn't need any jewelry.
We can't do a trip anywhere, always kinda sick all the time.
Guns are not her forte.
She already has a ton of books on the cancer thing.


Thanks fellas
Sixgun

How about getting her some flowers and taking her out to a nice dinner, ladies love to get dressed up.
If she is feeling up to it.
Best of luck to her beating this and future good health.

A spa day perhaps. I know they have those packages where ya get pampered for 2-6 hours.

Can you find a way to give her a "day off", a day to feel normal, not worry about kids (or just worry about kids), whatever it is she does not get to do that she misses.

Just an idea but my wife likes a day when no one asks what she is doing or when she will be home, what will be for dinner or anything else.

Is there something that she has been talking about that might make her more comfortable around the house? Has she been asking for anything like "If only we had a shelf right here" or something like that? What about a few new outfits or something? Maybe a drive back around some of the places you guys used to go when you first met or something as well.

Sixgun I don't even know what to say about a gift but want you to know while reading your post I got a lump the size of a softball in my throat, and my eyes are welling as I type this. I'm usually very thick skinned and it takes alot to move me emotionally. I read your post to my Wife and she said she would be willing to make your Wife the cake of her choice. She is a superb baker and has asperations of opening a bakery one day. But anyway if your wife has a favorite cake my wife will do her best to make it just to her liking. Your family is in our thoughts. We would also deliver it of course. Our to gift to you and your Wife

I bet she would truly love a day where it is just you and her. maybe even the kids as well if you all aren't together a lot.
Maybe you could make her a nice dinner, her favorite, have the kids help, nice sit down dinner...if it is just you and her, candlelight, her favorite chocolates.

this week is also 5280 week if you want to take her out. Rodizio grill was delicious last night

I think chop house also has the deal and several other high end restaurants.

I am very sorry to hear this and you are in our thoughts.

Man, thats tough. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your wife.

Is there a place you used to take her when you were dating? You know, some place she remembers fondly that you haven't been in a while? That would be my suggestion. If she has a sister or close girlfriend, you might ask her if there is anything your wife might have mentioned she wants or would like...

Buying presents for a woman is hard! Good luck buddy!

Once again, Carole and I's prayers are with you two. Try and find out if she would prefer to have the children present for the birthday, or if she would like it to just be you two. Carole's racking her brain to try and think of something, but her first thought was no on the spa treatment. Obviously, all women are different. Just trying to get one's opinion for you. She's had her own battles with immune disorders.

This sounds like a plan, but I'd say Both of you do it!

She might get a grin outta that.
