    Make sure you put them in a jewelry box.....for some reason, My wife always smiles when I give her a jewelry box....

    She’ll put those two cents over your dead eyes after she’s kills you for giving her two cents.

    Then you might as well get her a vacuum cleaner, so at least you'll have something useful when she's gone...

    2 cents would not get me anywhere now these days...........I'd be sleeping in a dog house or maybe bird house?

    Springing for an circ Indian QE, bezel and chain will appear to be spilling your blood (coin funds) and is jewelry. One comment on it from a friend, and you are a hero. Women with jewelry are, at times, as vain as men with coins. :p

    That would be a switch. I'm always getting her 2¢....

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    This can be used as a compliment when you tell her that her "two cents" are worth "gold" to you. I just hope you can deliver that line more effectively than I did :s:p

    I try to give her an inch, every year. Every year, she takes another foot.

    With a slight limp. Call it a hobble.

    Well.... the sentiment (in the OP) is certainly there.... but not much else... No... that would not work in my case... Although my Wife is not one who looks for expensive gifts, she does appreciate gifts with utility (i.e. a computer, or related electronics) or a nice necklace..... Two cents - even with significant dates - would have her looking at me with a very strange expression - one which I have seen on a couple of occasions, and have learned that I really do not wish to see again.... :D:D Cheers, RickO
