Wife's 50th - Gift ideas?

[cynic]

First, she says she doesn't need any guitars.

She loves Vegas, so we're already planning a week there, to include the hiking in the Valley of Fire, the Boulder Dam tours, the chocolate factory tour, KISS mini-golf, several shows and nice dinners, trying to get a mix of typical and not-so-typical Vegas stuff.......but, that doesn't give her anything she can hang onto that will remind her of all the above.

Anyone already hit a home run on this that can throw some suggestions my way?

I'm not looking for the typical jewelry or handbag solution.....but something more unique. I've got a few ideas but am open to more.

For my wifes b-day I had some pics of the Def Leppard concert we attended blown up to poster size and framed. She loved it. It was her first rock concert.

Went right to the source of wisdom here in my own home - my soon-to-be 50 wife said without hesitation that she needs a Hermes scarf.

Lots of very cool prints to choose from, so maybe one that suits her style? I don't suppose living where you do a scarf is worn for keeping the neck warm though so the wooly thick ones are likely out......

The silk ones are where it's at for you in sunny Cali I would think.

As she explained, it will be something that she will want to wear whenever a special accent is needed and think of you every time she puts it on. I thought maybe I'd get one for my wife too, but fuck me they are spendy!!

$500 to $800 for a scarf!

What's wrong with just trying to be nice for a day on your wife's birthday?

I'm guessing you are not currently married?

Rent her Ashton Kutcher for the day.
