It’s been 12 years and I have not been able to top it especially with children around.

OP here. This is AWESOME! Your dessert line is an inspiration. Thank you. And maybe for year 12 you can carve out a little space/time. Trickier w children around, but if there's any reason to take advantage of screen time, this is it!

PP - with children 6, 4 and 2 it’s a challenge to be creative but since V-day is on a Friday we don’t have to be up early the next day for work.

That reminds me that I need to pick up some Redi-Whip!

we tried swapping very early in our relationship (my idea) and it really opened up doors otherwise unimaginable! He has come to really enjoy it and will usually participate or sometimes watch. Give it a shot!

More power to ya! Awesome that it works for you and your partner...but definitely a non-starter for me.

Here's what to get:
- Good alcohol
- Beer delivery service is interesting if you think he'd like it.
- You. Just show up in sexy new lingerie with a coat over it, and tel him the lingerie is his present, but you'll be wearing it.

Candles... I'm still laughing at that one.

^ Coming back to say thank you all for your suggestions. I pretty much went with the above and showed up for the steak dinner he was making in thigh highs and garter belt under my LBD...poor man could barely concentrate on cooking. We had a great night followed by a day of winter hiking. ??
