Hola.

My wife's 30th bday is in a little less than a month, and I'm blanking on gifts.

As we met in Korea (Seoul), things from there are always appreciated.

Can anyone suggest anything that might not occur to a dude who has been out of country for about three years now?

We met at Samgakji subway station, and lived in Eungam, Pyeongchon, and Yangjae, so bonus points for anything specifically pertaining to those places.

Thanks for the help.

Nothing beats the Spam gift set. If you can a gas range you can grill it. It tastes really good.

since she is likely to leave you shortly for someone else she thinks is more successful and can give her the stability and children she so desperately wants to erase the ghosts of the past BF she still is trying to desperately get over I would go for the home made card with sparkles and the minimum of fuss. Sorry I didn't take a breath for that last sentence but it needed to be said all at once. But the cheapest of gifts would be best because being an armchair freak for MMA does not get the bills paid. If you are unsure ask her who has been the best....make sure you don't break eye contact and take your cues from "don't lie to me". but then what would I know...

Cook her a meal and lay the pipe and engage in some pillow talk about falling in love with her at Samgakji?

I don't know what hurts my brain more... your run-on sentence or the annoying glare on my monitor... Laughing
