Location: East Texas | You guys came up with some good ideas last year and saved the day for me. One of the ideas y'all gave was a leather travel case for her jewelry, and she loved it. Well, it is down to about a week and I still have not done any shopping. So I need some ideas. She is not a soccer mom. She is a rodeo mom, baseball mom, school teacher, and likes the outdoors. |

Location: Hogwarts | Is she a baseball mom who has to sit out in the cold a lot? My dad made my mom one of those blankets that you tie all the way around. He put baseball on one side and then hockey on the other because we played both. Then, when it was cold out at both of the events she could use the side that went with the sport. He also made her a tie scarf. It's fairly easy to do and its homemade. My mom loved it! |

Cold hands and Warm Heart

Location: relocated to Texas | Get her something that she would never buy for herself. Its hard to be specific without knowing her tastes, but make it something personal (not practical). Maybe a nice piece of jewelry to go in the case you had made for her? The gifts women remember are the ones with thought behind them. |

| Has there been anything that she's mentioned "It sure would be nice to have ______ this to make life easier" etc? If you are paying attention to her, I'm sure she has. If not, maybe offer to send her to a spa, or get her a chair massage pad for school. Or a massage gift cert. Something to make her feel like a lady even though she's a get down and dirty rodeo mom. |

| Spa day! Massage, I like the idea of those nice lounge chairs. They are a bit heavy but super nice for kicking back for long spells. Does she hunt, fish, camp? We need more info. :) |

Location: North Dakota | If your wife likes to read get her a NOOK she can load her books to take to the rodeo. It is one of the best gifts my husband ever gave me I love it. Or get her a puppy, a mini weenie or a mini poodle women love cuddly pets. If she is not a pet person get her a Pandora bracelt, they are beautiful! |

Location: North Dakota | A gift that was given to me that makes my cry and full of joy all at the same time is a hand drawn picture of my children that my hubby had an artist draw. The artist really captured my teenage son the most, its is something that I will always have even when he goes away to college in a few years. It gets to me really. |

Location: Never in one place long | My husband got me a really nice pair of metal stirrups one year with my name on them... I REALLY liked them and thought they were super special. I think they were Martha Josey ones??? Last year, he got me a Charlie One horse hat, I would have never spent the money on it but LOVED getting it as a gift. Massage would be nice too!! Can't go wrong there. |
