Having our third child this summer. I had very little money when my first two kids were born 15-20 years ago, and I am now a Big4 partner. I really want to get my wife something special, something upwards of 10k-20k. Does anyone have any specific suggestions? Not interested in experiences as we already do that. Looking for things. She already has a wedding ring and a 3 stone anniversary ring.

Cartier does some iconic bracelets. Just en Clou ( the nail) is my wife’s favorite! There are a bunch of other iconic designs I.e, love bracelet, infinity ring etc… so, you might find something she’s into

Not as left field as you think, that is actually on my list. We have worked with a great designer before but she is so expensive that my wife didn’t want to bring her back. Maybe she would prefer this to jewelry!

Maybe think about hobbies? especially as they can promote strengthening self-identity during a time when we as parents often get wrapped up in our identities as relational to our babies.

E.g., if a photographer, a pro quality full frame camera and lenses. If musician, a baby grand piano. If a cyclist, a top-class bike & equipment

Is the to be child a boy or girl? I bought my wife some emerald earrings (not 10-20k, I don’t make partner money) because it was my daughter’s birthstone and my wife loved the thought of given them to her someday.

While most teachers are protected by teacher unions, I feel my voice hasn’t been heard at all with my concerns of going back to school next week. Our diocese has decided on full return 5 days/ week for all 42 schools despite a recent increase in COVID in our communities. Every other school that I know of in my state is either choosing remote learning to start the year or a hybrid approach, yet that was not an option for us. Are other Catholic schools I. The same boat? Stay safe!
