If only the Major League Baseball team in the city you reside in was on a historic run through the playoffs with very real chances of playing in the World Series.

Experiences > things IMO

Donate it or do something nice for your wife, like a surprise vacation or something

One time I used money from my personal slush fund to buy her an emerald (birthstone) and diamond ring. This time I'm spoiling myself.

Do you have sonos gear? Get a bitchin sonos setup at your casa (house)

That's a fantastic idea but that's a purchase which would come out of our joint account because it benefits everyone in the family.

25 mystery boxes.

I've lost touch with The Ed

MIR sparked The Ed to break up with all of us.

Take a vacation up here.

Damnit MIR!

Where else am I going to spend $200.00 on $7.00 worth of trinkets and get pneumonia at the same time?

I was thinking the vacation could be something you would enjoy too but I guess probably not.

After reading the origins in the dating thread, I think you should do something for the house that you see everyday.

She knows she can buy whatever she wants for the house whenever she wants, and she does. Remember she has her own slush fund too. (only about $3,000 because she's more of a spender then I am)

I wouldn't go without my wife so that would be a joint account purchase.

I offered to take her anywhere she wanted to go for our ten year anniversary, she chose Disney World with the kids. Was a great time but was not what I had in mind for our anniversary. Since it was a family vacation, joint account.

When's the last time just the two of you took a vacation?

Too long

We do two or three weekend trips a year just the two of us but haven't been anywhere out of the country since before kids. Every year I ask her if she wants to go somewhere just the two of us. She's not really big on vacations, I don't know why.

I hope she's not getting bored of me

Maybe spend less energy/time messing with multiple his/hers bank accounts and take a vacation with your wife?

And maybe you could give your wife the option to buy her own ticket.
