At my wife’s request….

A lawn-chair chaise lounge.

I bought one for my wife last year – it was called a “Gravity Chair”. It’s the same thing as listed above so it goes by a few different names. She LOVES it! You have to sit in it to understand why it is different than any other lawn chair.

I got it at Ace Hardware.

I also have one of these chairs, which I also got at Ace Hardware, for under $40. Love it!

Another idea, which I have been told is a copout, is gift certificates. But not just for anywhere. Be specific to her hobbies and interests. An avid reader gets one to a bookstore. A golfer? Try a pro shop. Does she like comedy? Get one for a night at a comedy club. Likes to pamper herself? Why not a spa treatment or a pedicure? Into wine? Find a winetasting or vineyard tour. Likes to cook? How about one to a cooking supply store or for a class with a local chef. It just takes knowing a bit about her, and then some research. Maybe ask her friends for ideas too.

The chair it is. I was pretty confident that she would like it, so we stopped at Gander Mountain yesterday afternoon. They had two different models there. One was very similar to the Cabela’s one, mesh backing. The other was all padded instead of the mesh and was a bit pricier. Yep, she opted for the padded. Afterwards, the kids and I took her to the Mineshaft in Hartford for an early dinner. Nothing like not having to fight the restaurant crowds today.

Thanks everyone for your help. You don’t know how much I appreciate it.
Her birthday is in July. Hint, hint.
