She still has a gift certificate from an NYC spa from 3+ years ago that she hasn't used. Place probably went out of business.

How about some Spa time.  Don't have to even use commieAmazon.

She still has a gift certificate from an NYC spa from 3+ years ago that she hasn't used. Place probably went out of business.

I do appreciate the idea though.

How about a card and dinner out then.
You know, so she can take a break from cooking.
