What are you getting your wife for Valentines Day? (Or wives, what do you want from DH?)

[Anonymous]

$50? Play it safe, get a nice flower arrangement or orchid and a nice box of treats.

I usually get him the chocolate, that we all share.

My DW doesn't like me buying her lingerie. Says it is a gift for me, not her. I tell her to tell me what kind she would like and I get no response.

Dude, she is telling you she does not want lingerie. So stop bugging her about it.

Sex would be nice. And a card.

I wish he would just cook dinner and clean up the dishes afterwards.

Please, no lacy (scratch, impractical and more for you than me) lingerie, roses, candy or overpriced Hallmark cards! I'd much prefer a heartfelt note, a nice bottle of wine, nice music playing on speaker, an iTunes gift card or something done around the house, like installing that reading light next to my bed or perhaps a beautiful shrub for the garden. Effort gets an A in my book every time. An expensive gift purchased on our joint bank account at the last minute, not so much.

I wish my DH would think lingerie was sexy.

What your DW really wants for Valentine's Day, and every day, is for you to listen to what she is saying.

What is your wife’s love language, or how does she like to feel loved.
If DH bought me a nice pedicure, that I could enjoy kid free, it would be in that $50 price range and I would really enjoy it. If he bought me flowers and chocolate, that would be nice too but I wouldn’t nessicarily want that. I’m having his car detailed. Over the “budget” we set but he desperately needs it, and it will provide him utility

We are going out to dinner at a small, very good cafe/bistro. I like experiences more than things.
