So, my wedding anniversary is coming up. I usually suck at gifts, but I got it covered this year! I have a friend who's living in Bahrain right now, getting a beautiful jewelry box made, with my wife's name and our Anniv. date inlaid in Arabic.
I've already told work I won't be there that day (the beauty of government work)! I'm going to disappear for a few hours in the morning, until she goes to work. Come back home, throw on a suit, grab some lunch and flower then head to her work during her lunch.

    Just remember, if you set the bar high now, what will you do on your 25th anniversary?

    Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

    That's mighty nice, Boots! What made you decide on Arabic? Your wife like the language, or just because that's what Bahrain speaks/writes?

    I've spent 3+ years in "Arabic Countries, due to work" if you will. So, the premise behind it has a lot of meaning around the house.

    That's really nice and the hand touches will go a long way; it's definitely a special and personalized gift. I can see it being passed down in the family.

    Very awesome gift indeed brother!!! Positive she will love it,been married 22 years and can vouch that women love the thought more then anything else,having her name and such embellished on their will warm her heart!!! On a side note my first thought was,,,,,wonder how many cigars would fit in there??? Am I the only one who thought that??
    no matter where you go, there you are.
