1210, I don't see it as a "gag" gift, as OT mentioned. To give a gift as a gag I think would be insensitive on such an occassion. I do see it, as you say, a light recognition of the day without any heavy romantic overtones. I think she would be amused and appreciate it. But, on the other hand it might be a good 180 for me to just let it be. The fact is that she is not interested in our M and to "celebrate" as such is a bit pathetic! Celebrating that our family is still together after 17 years is certainly something worthy of celebration. As I said, I'll give it more consideration. Thanks for giving this thought 1210.
One more thing which I forgot to mention re gifts etc. My W displays all the cards, little gifts and even the bow from a letter I gave her shortly after the "bomb". She displays last years Anniversary card, Valentines Day card etc. She keeps them all neatly arranged on her dresser! These are only things I gave her after the "bomb", not before. She has the bow taped to her dresser so it won't fall off! Is all this strange or what? I can't imagine why these things wouldn't be stashed in a drawer somewhere. But, they obviously mean something to her.
