Housekeeping service – I shouldn’t have to explain this. This is like jewelry. When it is time for a deep spring cleaning, or getting the house cleaned up after a fourth of July party, that gift certificate that you got her for housekeeping will make her fall in love all with you all over again.  Don’t… I repeat DON’T get her any sort of cleaning supplies, tools, or machinery – like a vacuum or carpet steamer. No matter how expensive or fancy it is, she will hate it… and you… even if she says otherwise. She is probably lying. You’re welcome.
