gunner b 1 2,
One idea if you are getting your PPL would be a Pinch Hitter Course for your wife. She would get trained to fly and land from the right seat. That way if anything happened to yourself she could land the airplane. Not much of a present, but if your life depended on it, it would then make a great gift.
To spice up that gift, how about a vacation for just the two of you on an island without Phones/TV/Children for a couples of days. Something where you walk out of your cabana and the only thing between you and the clear blue water is a hammock.
Good Luck,
