Ms. Hairdog is turning 41 on Monday. Last year, for #40, I got her diamond earrings. It was like pulling teeth, because gift receiving is not her LL, and I had to make her go to the jewelry store and pick out several possibilities. I wanted something that would last. She was happy to receive them.

This year, I'm not looking to spend a bunch of money. Just something nice. I was thinking about getting her a gift certificate for a massage place she goes to, but she gets massages from this place about every month anyway. It's like giving her cash out of the same well she would use anyway.

Her LL's are acts of service and quality time. Any ideas? I'd like them to be romantic, but remember, she's about as romantic as a post. I do love her, though.
