Bruce you know Rosemary, you need to stop and think about the things she likes to do, and that things that have meaning for her, you will then know what gift to buy.

Bruce, when my children ask what I want for Christmas, I tell them I’d like some pretty stationery and some stamps. Then they say well I can’t get you that because you can get them yourself. So, they get something else. But I really wanted the pretty paper and stamps!

Good Morning Bruce from Gympie where the sun is shining brightly and I’m still in bed! Most unlike me! I’m usually up before five at this time of the day! I got partway through and thought that perhaps I should find my glasses! Then discovered TYPOS!!!

My immediate thought, when you made your request for a gift for Rosemary was, ROSES! The Best and Most Beautiful that you can find!!!
Delivered in Style!!!!

Maybe because you are so busy give Rosemary one day of your time, yourself take her out let her know she is the most important person in your life besides God. Make it the most important date that you both have that day , buy her flowers and lunch or tea out but make it about her . Turn your phone and mind off knowing this is about her and the gift God gave you in her . Sometimes time with someone is more precious than material gifts.Maybe do something with her you don’t like but she loves

You could get Rosemary a fridge magnet with a bible verse on it.

I would back it up with something like, a bracelet or earrings, facial/day spa voucher, Sydney Harbour lunch cruise when you’re next in town.

A day spa to get away from work, noise and other demands on her time.

Hello, I would suggesst something that she would not buy, thinking it frivolous,,,eg. pedicure, or manicure. I had never experienced this, until I was given a coupon for my birthday, which I might add was quite a number of years!!!!

a pretty nightie or bed attire

a perfume that she would not buy for herself because of cost……if all else fails, ask your daughters!! Have a blessed and wonderful Christmas celebrating with your loved ones.

Hi Bruce.

Bring dinner home one afternoon so she does not have to cook. Also paper plates so she does not have to wash dishes.

And tell her how important she is to you and etc you know what else to add to that and what to say.

I love beautiful statues of our Lady from the st Joseph’s collection. It’s better than flowers. Flowers are expensive and they die.

Regards

Perfume. Choose a fragrance that reminds you of her.

And many, many thanks to you, Bruce, from me. I know you’re ‘just’ being obedient, that it’s what you were created to do, and all that. Thank you for your faithful obedience. You have provided me with so much comfort today. God’s comfort, of course. The Lord God is so wonderful, isn’t he.

Hello Bruce

I would suggest a beautiful set of hold earing rings. Something practical that Rosemary can wear all the time, without having to change them. I love mine and they stay in my earlobes all the time. I even sleep with them on.

Thank you for always helping me to start my day.

I watch your daily devotional from South Africa 🇿🇦.

Have a blessed day. And I truly hope you get the right gift.

Warm regards
Annemarie

Hi Bruce,
hmm! My husband likes to buy me clothes for special occasions.They are always very lovely but can I suggest if you buy clothes for Rosemary buy them from a store which gives you a gift receipt in case she needs to change them for some reason.
Happy Shopping!😁

Hello Bruce
Rosemary does not seem like a materialistic lady to me so
how about an Afternoon Tea with the whole family at a posh restaurant – sandwiches, scones, cake and a glass of bubbly surrounded by the whole family!

I’m buying my spouse a WiFi picture frame. All of your pictures can be seen in regular intervals. Your children can also send you photos which are added to your rotation. The two brands that I know are Aura and Skylight.

hi Bruce! My husband when alive was like you on what to get me. He went to a nice store and told the clerk his situation. The clerk picked out the most beautiful sweater for him. I cherish that sweater to this day because I know how difficult it was for him to go into a ladies store and explain his predicament. God bless you for your concern but I’m sure Rosemary will appreciate whatever you get her.

A personalized 30 second recording photo frame. You can leave Rosemary a message from your heart with a photo of yourself so she can play it when you’re off traveling.
Amazon has them.

I ordered my advent daily devotional prayer book and misplaced my email with the link while I wait for my hard copy. Would you please resend it if it is not to much a bother? Thank you and God bless!

There are lots of lovely ideas! As a grandma myself, I thought of an album with happy pictures of all the children and grandchildren with you and Rosemary, something I think she would treasure. Not too big so she could bring it with her when travelling if she wanted. Happy hunting!!

Bruce, I think in all the time I have been following you, today’s message was the most thought-provoking and it really reached my heart! Thank you for this beautiful message. By the way, you are the best gift Rosemary has ever received in this life! Just continue to be the husband you are and LOVE her every moment! Give her a favorite picture of the both of you in a beautiful frame for her bedside to wake to each morning!

Hello Bruce, no matter what gifts I give my mum at Christmas, the most precious thing she values is a Christmas card with a mass offering. I think Rosemary would also appreciate the gift of a mass being said for her on Christmas Day.

How about something that celebrates her trust and dedication to God especially through her health journey this year. Get you, the children and grand children to write her a notes around the same theme, have it professionally framed that she can put it somewhere where she can see it everyday. Plan a visit before the holidays to cancer patients and let her encourage them. After the visit plan a family get together where you will present her with the frame.

Bruce, give Rosemary a gift of your time and attention for an hour a day if you can for a walk, sitting in the park, a short drive and an ice cream cone. I became a widow 22 months ago and what I treasure most was time for a walk, listening to some music together, a bowl of ice cream in the evening. I can buy things but good memories of our time together means the most to me and takes away loneliness later on in life, and one rose a month always helps.

Get her an experience gift. I got my dad tickets for us to go to an Oscar Peterson tribute performed by the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra.

A wonderful idea that i do for my family is a reusable Advent Calendar. In each drawer you can write a note about a gift for that day, it can be a special rosary in her honor, a chore that you will do to relieve her of some work, cook a meal, take her on a walk to see the Christmas lights, etc.
