Does she need a new vacuum or frying pan? Or maybe an iron?

No, I pretty do much of those things. I dont trust her in the kitchen. If our child was in the floor, she would manage to run over him and suck him up in the vacuum. Her iron is Downey wrinkle release + dryer= semi-ironed.

Whats your price range and her interests?
Her interests are diamonds:mad: and our baby boy. My price range is cheap.
She wants a three stone but I dont feel like floppin that much cash down.

much safer than traditional irons, and cheap too.

I have no idea what that is:O

She does our accounting so she knows the answer to that question, but I dont want to spring for that.

If I could get her to wash my undies on a regular basis, I would be a happy man.

Diamonds? Talk about an impersonal gift. I mean, yeah, they're expensive and she can show them off to her female friends. But still, giving stuff like that for Christmas/birthdays/anniversaries/Valentine's Day/etc. screams (to me) "Here, honey! I don't know what you like so I bought you something expensive to shut you up!"
it's like the Family guy fake commercial. Diamonds: she'll pretty much have to.
And before the ladies pile on me as being an idiot guy: I'm not saying I wouldn't give a girl jewelry as a gift. I'm saying I would give it on a totally random day for no reason at all. You know, tell her "hey, let's get a sitter tonight and go out, you deserve a night off." then hit her with "oh, and I got you this for no special reason at all other than I love you."

Give her a gift certificate to her favorite jewelry store for an amount you do feel comfortable with. Include flowers and a romantic card.
She can either get something that the gift certificate can pay for, or save it until she has enough gift certificates to get something more expensive.

Then she'd ask "what'd you do now?"
or "He's been cheating on me!"

I like both Mom's and PG's ideas. One of the best anniversary presents I've received was this year, when my husband gave me the gift of "time". He scheduled a day at a resort spa, and I went shopping after that, without having to worry about picking up my kids at school and all of that stuff.
The SO is slipping. I was expecting more "interesting" gift options. Ya'll are way too serious.

Being the mother of 3 daughters, all in their 20s, I can honestly say that they each possess a bit of a playful ornery streak, which by no means is something I would define as evil, but I know for a fact that girls can be time consuming and somwhat expensive. :)

See, I'm a bit different.
Sit me down with a video game, maybe some chinese food, and a couple cokes, and I will love you forever. (I guess that equals in with the 'time' bidness).
Seriously, all she wants is diamonds? GHP had it right, they're impersonal and show you couldn't come up with anything better.

If you want to get her jewelry, consider getting her something with the birthstone of the month you were married in. That shows that time and thought went into it other than it just being a diamond.
Turquoise, it isn't just for white trash anymore.
