Saying thanks without words

Thanks for the sensible responses. :)
@Pitbull & Co. : NO! :D
That's not the way to do it. :p

All I can really do is what SlinkyMike suggested. That is by far the best solution, but adding a box of chocolates and a handwritten note can't hurt. ;)
 
You have to follow your gut....but in my house if we want to say thanks we buy something. How is a handwritten note any different than saying thanks? How do you know there will even come an opportunity to repay her by deeds? You're just going to be saying thank you and doing favors and feeling indebted your whole life. At least treat her to a nice meal out. If I just say to my wife that I love her on mother's day she doesn't believe me - if I buy her a thoughtful present or take her for a meal she knows I mean it.
 
1. I like the idea of a handrwitten letter of gratitude.

2. Killa, not everything in life is about sex :) Friendship is on a higher level!
 
This is Cerebus's wife - if I can give you a good example: I worked for a very well off family in Stellenbosch...I mean really well off!!! When I announced that we were expecting a child the mother just started giving me the nicest things from her kids...all relatively brand new...everything...from carseats(the best ones on the market) to a R12000 Bugaboo pram, to just yesterday another carseat now that our boy is bigger, toys, clothes, you name it....even baby carriers...sleeping bags...

now how do you think I can ever thank this family? There is no way. I cannot take them out for a meal...no way we can afford the kind of restaurants they like(and can afford)...so what did I do..we gave them a simple but very nice leather bag that my father makes...to fit two wine bottles, and when I went to visit I took her some roses...she was so happy she hugged and kissed me..and then I send her emails with photos of our baby, as she totally adores him and that just makes her heart so happy...in the end the simple things are the things that really count. She knows who I am and she appreciates so much what I give back to her....something small and my friendship.
 
she's the light of my life except when she whistles to the Peggle theme tune.

the Peggle theme tune? I've never heard of it. Does that make me lucky? :D

Mr. Cerebus, Mrs.Cerebus seems really awesome. Please give her my thanks. Her advice really helps a lot. :)

Oke, I lol'd so hard! Kopkou solves everything!

All these "hit her in the panty" comments really are funny though - since we all know deep down these hard okes are just as mushy as the rest of us. :p

Fooz... box o' chocolates are cool. Just don't let it stop there. Show interest in HER problems now. Just don't fake it.
