Gift certificate to Blue Mercury + the morning off to get a mani/pedi and lunch the next day.

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.

A book she's been interested in? Food she likes? Hard to tell you when we don't know anything about her.

Do a picnic with the kids. Then do all the cleaning, bedtime stuff and let her have tomorrow morning off.

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.

Take flowers home to her and tell her that tomorrow mornings she should go for a pedi. Extra points if you book it.

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!

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.

Lingerie.

How about a nice bottle of wine for you two to share tonight?

I think I'd want a day off! Throw in some chocolates and a matinee movie pass and I'm in heaven.

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.

Any details about your wife? The more personal, the more romantic.

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.
