experiences are better than things. go bungee jumping or mountain climbing (even indoor wall) or something.

I agree with this. There's almost nothing material I could get my wife that she doesn't already have but she would love a vacation to anywhere (especially since we haven't traveled since Covid started - we even cancelled a 2 week vacation to Hawaii).

That said, for her next birthday I'm probably going to get her copies of all the Wes Anderson movies on disc since she loves them so much.

I’ve gotten my wife two shows on disc “just in case they stop streaming them” and while they were well received at the time, they all still reside in the shrink wrap.  Going to be a rare piece of media that’s not available for streaming these days.

Glad I'm not the only one that's happened to.  I did this before streaming was a thing.  Think she watched one out of 7 seasons and the rest have just been sitting there for the last 10 years.

If COVID isn't preventing people from getting together, when my wife had a similar birthday, I arranged an evening at her favorite restaurant and then had her friends all show up, some of whom live out of town and she hadn't seen for several years.  Went over pretty well.

I have gotten her a few 'experience' presents in the past. We went ballooning on one birthday, and I got her a flight in a glider for another. I know she would LOVE to try parachuting, but she'd want to me to go too. F that...

Might be good to get some practice in before that maiden voyage, son.
