I realize this has nothing to do with boating, well maybe it does because if I screw this up it could be a long time before any boating happens. But here goes. The wife and I will be married for 4 years tomorrow. She had a great idea of a max gift of $20 bucks. Guys I’m drawing a blank here and I need some help on this. Do you guys have any ideas.

$20 bucks, yea right. Do you really think that $20 bucks will make her happy? You can't buy a dozen roses for $20 bucks.
I have been married for 31 years and even as nice is my wife is to put up with my sorry azz, $20 bucks would never cut it!

Go to one of those "Things Remembered" stores in the mall and get a nice picture frame with something sappy engraved - then slip a picture in there - oh, and get a nice card, broads love that.
Or just ignore the 20 dollar limit!!!!

half a tank of gas
Whatever you do, don't forget a very thoughtful card!!!!
post up in the off topic section or "Bilge Forum" see what responses you get. You can definitely find something for about $20. take a trip to the mall, you'll be able to find something. Things to Remember store is a good start. Maybe flowers??? 1800-flowers not exactly ideal but hey just throwing idea's around, its sweet and simple.

For 20 bucks, I could but a nice bottle of wine, some cheese & crackers & spend a quiet evening out back with a couple logs in the fireplace. Candles in the garden, etc Plus, I'd do some things like making sure the house was straightened up- things that are out of charachter for me.
Or- a picnic lunch and a walk in the park one nice Saturday afternoon. Whatever it is, it needs to be out-of-charachter for you.
Yeah, this crap sounds semi-gay, but it works. My 21'st is this Friday and I've bailed myself out of some deep $hit over the years with stuff like this. Judging from the boat you have listed in your profile, you could probably drop a couple grand on her and she wouldn't blink. The $20 idea is bait for you to do something out of the box. Don't fail.
