hi.
I'm looking for a bit of help for some gift ideas for my upcoming anniversary. I always buy my wife what I think is a good present for our anniversary (or birthday, christmas etc) and I never seem to get it right.

Now she just tells me to 'keep the receipt' because she knows she won't like what I buy her. But I REALLY try. I know she always likes spa vouchers, but I don't want to get her that this time. I want to get her something really persoanl and nice.

Can anyone recommend any shops in melbourne or websites with good gifts for women?
My wife is in her mid 30's and works in the medical profession.

Any ideas?

Well I wish I had a husband as thoughtful as this! Have you tried paperworld? They are an online aussie business. I bought my ex husband an authentic newspaper from the day he was born in 1973 which came in a beautiful leather binder. Just something different...

try http://alegorie.com.au/shop/ for really lovely jewellery. I don't think you can go wrong there.

Also http://www.prezziexpress.com/ for individual gifts such as homewares and skincare. You'll definitely find something she'll like in there.

head to Tiffanys my friend. Nothing beats the joy of opening up the wrapping paper to discover a blue Tiffanys box inside.

the silver necklaces start at around $160, so won't break the bank. Here's a link to silver necklaces

thanks so much for the advice. I'm buying her the stationery from Prezzi (she loves things like that) and I'm going to buy her a tiffany necklace as well

will you let us know how she liked the presents?

OK - it's next wednesday

jodie... by the way, I'm going to get her a paper from the day she was born for her next birthday. all this info saves me so much time looking for gifts - it's great!

BTW she LOVED her gifts. She nearly cried when she saw the tiffays box. I got her a silver loveheart on a long silver chain. She loved the stationary as well and can't wait to write someone a posh thankyou card.
thx for all your help!

that's so sweet! I wish my boyfriend would leave a message here about what gifts to get me. Our 5th anniversary is coming up soon and I'm hoping for a nice present this year....
