I am looking for birthday ideas for my wife.

Age 58
Beautiful
Has me/it all 😂
Loves reading

@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN You know her better than us. =)

Do something she enjoys and hasn't done in a while

@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN

Buy her a library like the one in Beauty and the Beast.

@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN If she loves reading then a bookstore gift card or take her to a bookstore, tell her she has x amount of time to pick as many books as she wants, and them buy said books for her as a present.

@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN If she has it all, then I'd say a non tangible gift is in order (with some flowers or something). Is there a chore she hates you can take over partially? Does she have the perfect reading nook? Can you carve out a half hour or more a week when you'll fend off the wolves so she can read?

@TrueBloodNet @SECRET_ASIAN_MAN

Back in the 70s, some of my friends would make up little coupon books of non-tangible things like "An hour to myself" or "the house cleaned and I didn't have to do it" or "nookie".

@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN
Is there a favorite genre that she likes to read? Does she have a favorite author?

If she likes mystery or crime types, how about one of those Mystery box things where they send clues every month?

Or maybe a signed book by her favorite author, a nice snuggly blanket and a mug.

@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN

There's tons of stuff on Etsy that's kinda cool - just do a search for Steven King. Like this mug is pretty awesome!

@peeppeepcircus @SECRET_ASIAN_MAN lol Steven King bath bomb turns your water to blood and a giant long finger comes up through your drain. 🤣

@peeppeepcircus @SECRET_ASIAN_MAN

Start leaving little notes saying "all work and no play..." and keep an ax by the bathroom door! 😄

@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN Make a day of it!
Get her a pampering massage or similar. Then take her to a book store and tell her to pick a book to read on a picnic you'll take her next. If there is a place like a arboretum or similar, end the day there!

@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN I'd lean towards an experience rather than a material item. Is there something that you both or she did in the past but not recently or some riff on it?
