making the wife happy....

Ok suggestions please silkie or puffy and cute is a serious bonus and almost equally as important would be a calico type of coloring or striking colors/ variations in a small bird body that is relatively noobie tolerant ...give me more research ideas ?

What are you asking? Are you looking for an idea for a certain type of bird to buy? Serama are nice, they come in all color, and really sound cute when they crow.

I think Mille Fleur Cochins would fit the bill perfectly based on what you described.

silkies are good this is my roo

here is a cochin they come in a wide variety of colors

wynadottes might also be a good choice. silkies and cochins are very tame, for the most part. samon favaroles might also be an option.

Partridge is an amazing color variety. Males are glossy & pretty, and females very distinctive & neat.

Sometimes the Porcelain are good too but they are lighter in color. Or Splash colored.

What is your wife's favourite colour? Favourite breed of dog? Favourite flowers (in gardens)?

There are so many choices, and depending on whether she or you will have any interest in showing, you can consider non-standard varieties. Is this going to be a surprise? If not, let's all post some photos and you can have her select the kind of birds she wants.
