Of course wrong answers:

> [ ] Chocolates (political incorrect, too many calories: implying an
insult)
> [ ] Card (a straight offense in time of computer hoaxes)
> [ ] Dinner reservations (probably too late, sometimes a $20 works) (how
can you dare to ruin the family's finances?)

And then you suggest a tricky & mean answer:

> [X] Roses (but only cut from your wife's mother-in-law's, which is btw
your own mother, bush - but attention: remove carefully the thorns to
prevent a backlashing allusion of presenting her a cactus representing your
mother's daughter-in-law's, which is btw your own wife, armchair)

Try not to mess with WTC's C-major prelude at the piano (after 35 years of
rehersal your wife is entitled to a nearly flawless rendition), a hug and a
kiss and some self-picked snowdrops - who could ask for more?
