My WAS shuts down with questions like what trails have you found for your new bike, and what's your new job like, so I think this topic varies a lot with the individual WAS and the state of the relationship. IF your relationship is very friendly and you spend time shooting the breeze, then the questions like what would you do if... might be good, if a little contrived. They sound like party ice-breakers, or like questions my hairdresser asks me when I'd rather be reading trashy magazines.
Paying close attention, like Mimi suggested, to items that would be of interest based on what you know about your WAS, seems best to me because it's individualized, not a cookie cutter sounding approach.
