| For my wife. Trying to turn this around. Want to buy her something that shows I appreciate her. What would you want? I would prefer a PHYSICAL item. |
| Any details about your wife? The more personal, the more romantic. |
| Well we have 2 young kids and she "hasnt felt pretty" since the second came along last year. I was thinking essential oils and candles and give her a massage, but that just sounds so cliche and movie warn. |
| I think I'd want a day off! Throw in some chocolates and a matinee movie pass and I'm in heaven. |
| How about a nice bottle of wine for you two to share tonight? |
| Lingerie. |
| Make great gourmet picnic dinner and hire a babysitter. Take her OUT- somewhere with a beautiful view an watch the sunset while munching on delicious nibbles. |
| Guys, I need a gift to TAKE home to her. So when I walk in the door I can offer it to her. Can't do picnic dinmer because we have 2 kids that will be screaming and our babysitter requires a days notice. |
| Sounds like your wife needs a break and some time to herself. I don't think essential oils are going to cut it. Take the kids out in the morning and let her sleep. Encourage her to spend the day going for a walk/getting a facial or mani/pedi, out to lunch alone. Then make a nice dinner for her at home. Rent a movie. This would be my ideal day! |
| Take flowers home to her and tell her that tomorrow mornings she should go for a pedi. Extra points if you book it. |
| At a minimum, flowers. I like the store ones as you can buy two bundles for much cheaper. Then, jewelry. For more than your price, new iPad, tablet, camera, etc. |
Do a picnic with the kids. Then do all the cleaning, bedtime stuff and let her have tomorrow morning off. |
| A book she's been interested in? Food she likes? Hard to tell you when we don't know anything about her. |
No!!! She will think it's really for you. She doesn't feel pretty as is. I vote for flowers and a note saying you will take the kids for 3 or 4 hours tomorrow. Get them out if the house and tell her to go do whatever she wants. |
| Gift certificate to Blue Mercury + the morning off to get a mani/pedi and lunch the next day. |
