> [@RickJay](#): > > Some good ideas here… a lot of the destination tour ideas I’ll save for later holidays abd events. Hard to get far with a 5-month-old puppy;l those will be easier in 2018 and beyond. But very good ideas so far, thank you. I won’t say which ones I like most 'cause I appreciate them all. > > I did come up with a pretty solid one literally two minutes after posting this; she loves escape rooms, so I’ve booked us into one close by. I need a few more tho, so let me stew on these. Keep 'em coming! Emphasis added. Is that some Canadian thing? Seriously, what is an “escape room”? Or, so that what the kids are calling it these days? ---

They’re all over the States, too, and are called “escape rooms.” It’s essentially a game where you and some friends are locked into one or more rooms and must solve puzzles to escape; they have a theme, like “escape from the Wild West jail” or “flee the zombies.” ---

Does she enjoy watching birds? How about a really nice, big birdfeeder, and some birdseed to fill it? A new birdbath, maybe? ---

An overnight babysitter/petsitter and a night at a hotel that has a hot tub in the room, room service and buy a movie. If you want to spend on something she can keep besides a memory the bathrobe would go well in this theme. ---

Aromatherapy diffuser and set of essential oils. Or with her liking to walk, maybe a fancy pedometer or fitbit type gadget if she doesn’t already have one. ---

What about signing her up for a class of some sort? Pottery, cooking, archery, horseback riding, anything you think she might like to do but hasn’t ever had the opportunity to try. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-need-a-lot-of-gift-suggestions-for-my-wife/786218.md?page=1)
