    A day at the spa, nice dinner out, etc. If you have kids get a sitter.

    She likes her toes and nails done. I buy her gift certifs for christmas and birthdays. I was hoping something different. We have 5 kids, so sitter is kinda hard. Not trying to shoot down all your great ideas.

    5 kids, definitely a night out on the town with someone looking after the kids.

    Who's her best girlfriend? Find out if you don't already know, call the lady, and discuss a plan for a "surprise" trip for the two of them to enjoy a night out. You pay for it and watch the kids. She enjoys some much needed quality time with her bestie, and no worries about who's watching the kids. Best part is, there's no sitter cost, you still spend the same as you would if you went out with her, but she comes home relaxed, the kids are in bed, and you reap the benefits. It will pay dividends.

    Does she enjoy gardens? Maybe pick an area in the yard for you and your kids to all work on a new garden for her and put a nice garden bench or a swing there for her to sit and enjoy the outdoors.

    That is a very nice idea. I have actually been working around the yard putting up landscape timber boarders.
    I will see if we can do something like that.
