I need some help...
« on: December 02, 2009, 07:27:12 PM »
long story  short I trade some work for a car for my wife.( 06 lincoln ls that has 8k miles on it, it is loaded) 


Any ideas for creative ways to give it too her for xmas? 

all I've come up with is wrapping the keys...   not exactly creative.   last year when I got her the tennis braclet I put it as a neckless on a teddy baer and put a big ribbon over it...



PS she has been driving my bronco back and forth to work for awhile after we limon lawed her toyota.( 4 runner, what a POS that thing was, it was towed more then it drove, electrictal probs, the tranny went out, the nav system never worked... etc, etc.)

Take her out to dinner.  Afterward, have a valet return with her NEW car instead of the one you drove to the restaurant.  It will take some logistics but it might work...

Your trading your wife for a Lincoln?

Seriously, Timothy may be on to something, valet dinner joint, upon exit, have it drive up with a big bow on it.?./?

Some type of destination, where you'll both be walking out, and she will see the car and just know....

Fly me out and I'll switch cars when she's not looking. I only rolled over two of my cars and it's been months since my last crash.  :-[

you can take my fiat for a spin then, its worth more wrecked then it is toegther.  bad part is you most likly won't survie.

the valet parking is a good idea, but that would send up red flags as I will never use valet parking.

Send the car she's driving in for a "transmission repair" or something and bring back the Lincoln as a loaner car.

I like Tomothy's idea but you don't have to use a velet. Take her to her favorite eatery and have a buddy do the car swap.I think it is important that you are with her for the surprise. I like to see someones face when I surprise them. Don't tell the buddy until the day of or before and you don't have to tell him or her the whole story. You just need someone's help for a few minutes. DON'T TELL ANYBODY ELSE. Loose lips sink ships.

Have a friend wait in the new car at the restaurant and drive it up as you walk out.  Timing would need to be worked out but might work.

Have a couple, that you are friends with, drive the car to your home Christmas day.  Have them play it up like it was your buddies gift to his girlfriend/wife until she turns the perfect shade of envious green.  You can wring out a little extra grief by having your friend let her "test drive" the car, among other things, before letting her in on the surprise.  May not be the most romantic approach, but it would definitely be unforgettable, as well as a lot of fun for you.
