• By katdupy, November 5, 2009 @ 3:47 pm how about a day at a spa, or just a massage, she sounds like she could use some time to relax

• By Capt. John Smith, November 8, 2009 @ 1:32 pm you can giver her the one gift that no one else has even thought about. Yes that is right it is “ME” just for one night OK

• By bad guppy, November 11, 2009 @ 11:38 am have you been to the Napa valley? i don’t know where you live, but going to a nice bed and breakfast would be great. also a day at a spa, followed by dinner and a play, that would be great.

• By Melissa P, November 14, 2009 @ 8:44 am Pay for just you 2 to go away to a bed and breakfast and go to a spa for a couples massage.

• By Regina Phalange, November 14, 2009 @ 11:02 pm Awww……you sound like an awesome husband! I wish I could help you but it sounds like you have already done a bunch for her! Good luck on deciding on something!

• By yosamijo, November 16, 2009 @ 12:44 pm Take her skydiving, or find a place that will let her fly a glider plane (supervised).

• By Jo, November 18, 2009 @ 7:52 am A picture book of all your beautiful memories.

• By texas hearts, November 21, 2009 @ 6:57 am maybe a gift certificate to get a manicure and a pedicure, or to a day spa? Maybe get her a massage? She sounds like a wonderful person who always puts evereyone else first, and this way its something purely for her!!

• By Mary S, November 21, 2009 @ 1:45 pm a gift card for a day spa treatment, massage, manicure, peticure, the works, then take her to lunch, and when she gets back, let her take a nap, and you take care of this kids and clean the house, laundry etc.

• By Kludes, November 24, 2009 @ 11:26 am What about a spa weekend for the two of you? Total relaxation with body and facial treatments, massages, saunas, manicures/pedicures, and romantic dinners. I don’t know where you live, but I am sure there is something like that around. This is the best thing my husband does for me. It is something I would never do for myself.

• By surffsav, November 25, 2009 @ 2:37 am I think you have covered all the bases. What about a quiet weekend alone- just the two of you, without any distractions.

• By spoiltrini, November 27, 2009 @ 1:57 pm Taking a cruise or hiring a chef to come to your home to cook a lovely dinner is a great idea, with music, candles, flowers and all dressed up is something you can consider.

• By mary m, November 30, 2009 @ 10:55 am you seem a really sweet husband because you have so much passion for your wife. take her to a trip to the beach and set out a romantic picnic with the rose petals and tell her why you love her and walk along the beach. or hire a babysitter and take a nice long walk in the park. something simple but sweet enough to let her know that you love her more than the world. and honestly, shes lucky to have someone like you, people like you dont come along everyday so remember that she is lucky too. i hope everything goes well =]]

• By heavenlli_61, December 3, 2009 @ 5:08 pm you are a lucky dude to have such a loving wife. Make God continue to bless your family.

• By *wink*, December 4, 2009 @ 8:46 am tell her not to plan anything for a single day on (insert date). make her wait for almost half the day and then late in the afternoon, send her flowers that has a card that says something like, meet me (insert romantic place). then at the place, get someone to take her to (place). keep this going, like a treasure hunt. good luck!

• By Marie A, December 7, 2009 @ 12:02 pm Did you ever think about just getting a sitter for the kids and sitting down for the night on a pallet in front of a fire all night talking and making love? Sometimes you don’t need money to be romantic hanging out at home can be more romantic than anything money can buy. Go get a nice bottle of wine (if that’s your taste) send the kids to g-ma’s or a sitters and sit at home with your wife that should be a nice romantic gesture.

• By Gabrielle P, December 8, 2009 @ 4:37 pm i HAVE A PERFECT iDEA…SHE SEEMS TOO CONCERNED WiTH THE KiDS..MAYBE YOU SHOULD FiND A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN GO TO SPEND THE NiGHT LiKE A GRADPARENTS HOUSE…THEN YOU COULD HAVE A LiTTLE “FUN” WiTH HER WHiLE THE KiDS ARE AWAY iF YOU KNOW WHAT i MEAN!!! iM SORRY iF YOU’VE DONE THAT ALREADY BUT iF i HAD A HUSBAND i WOULD WANT SOME FUN LiKE THAT ONCE iN A WHiLE

• By princess jo, December 10, 2009 @ 6:03 am Sounds like money is no object…BUT…if you don’t have a maid or a nanny–why not get one for week. Also how about a nice home-chef to cook a gourmet meal for the two of you, then perhaps enjoy a spa treatment and massage from someone who will come to the home. Sounds great to me !

• By poison4yo_ass, December 12, 2009 @ 2:32 am take her on an airplane ride and have the words “i still love you” mowed in the ground. or have an air plane spell it in the air for her.

• By Bernard W, December 15, 2009 @ 2:10 am Get a beret for your Wang. She will like that.

• By mary, December 15, 2009 @ 5:55 pm Spondor a child in a third world country in her name, and give her the details and the childs photo nicely framed for the gift.

• By mJc, December 16, 2009 @ 12:17 am For her next birthday, have the kids help you cut out hearts from construction paper (one for each year of her life) and then hang each one by a ribbon all over the kitchen (or tape them to small sticks and “plant” them all over the front yard). You could even write a significant event for each year of her life on each heart (year she had a baby, year she got married, etc. etc.). My sister was born on Halloween and for her 40th birthday we decorated 40 pumpkins for each year of her life and put them all over her front yard in the middle of the night. It was a blast! One pumpkin was decorated like a bride for the year she got married. One looked like a baby for the year she had her daughter. She loved it! So… we did the same for my brother who was born on Christmas. Yes… planted 40(!) christmas trees on his front yard. Now that was was something to see!!!

• By U B Happy, December 16, 2009 @ 10:10 am If you can afford it, spread out and try more exotic vacations or a ship cruise from Florida or California . If you find you like cruising, then you will never have to worry about gift surprises again. lists specials; they are VERY affordable, and there are bargain airlines to get you to the port. Sometime do a GAG gift as well. Something truly atrocious and hideous for the house. Play the gag out a while before giving her the real gift.

• By Cristie D, December 17, 2009 @ 11:13 pm oh my gosh your wife is one lucky lady. As a wife and Mother of two boys I always love it when my husband sends me off to a day at the local spa. They pamper you all day long. Usually I go with a friend of mine and when we leave we are so relaxed we neither one of us want to drive home. I am sure that no matter what you do she will love you for it.

• By lxl_serendipity_lxl, December 20, 2009 @ 6:29 am I have many things in common with your wife: working, going to school and taking care of the family. The one thing that I love the most is when my husband arranges for a night at home that is just him and I.

• By Beffy, December 23, 2009 @ 5:03 am You should take her in you car and blindfold her and take her to a park where you have a hot air balloon waiting. Have the balloon take you to a cool spot where you have dinner or a picnic waiting. I think that would be awesome…

• By P-field,IN, December 24, 2009 @ 10:16 pm Youve been together 19 years & shes a full time college student? Wow. I say keep it simple. Send her to a spa, take a walk around a lake, horse carraige ride.

• By teenie, December 26, 2009 @ 1:14 am Find the prettiest box you can find and put a wish in it for her.

• By Phish Phood, December 27, 2009 @ 12:55 am Sounds like you spend alot of money on her. Do something that requires effort, not money, like a picnic in a nice place or cooking her dinner, then giving her a massage. Or play games with her (board games, video games, whatever) just make sure you both have FUN. Make all the effort you can to spend time with her. Just personally I would prefer that over gifts and holidays all the time.

• By elacledus, December 27, 2009 @ 10:53 am you sound like you have a very close family, so i will assume you have alot of photos. Why not take some of those photos and create a family scrap book possibly starting from when you met to your present life style. Kind of like the story of your lives together. Include the kids, happy memories, things that make you stay in love with your wife and her with you. Also when your kids get older the scrap book will also tell them the story of you love for each other. It also allows your wife to input her thoughts in the years to come as she adds in her favorite memories as well.

• By Sunidaze, December 27, 2009 @ 2:49 pm I I think you have possibly done more than any other husband out there and your wife is quite a lucky woman! Has she ever mentioned something she wanted to do that she has not yet done? Anything at all? I don’t see a spa day up there or is that covered under mini vacations? Is there a place she hasn’t been you could take her to? Throw a ‘just because’ surprise party in her honor. I don’t know…I’m fresh out of ideas!

• By Athiena, December 29, 2009 @ 1:23 am ~hmmm~ you have given her just about everything you can think about giving someone that you love to show how much they mean to you , well there seams to be one thing that you have not given her .. and thats you with out spending any money. and thats to me would mean the world to me as a woman then having money spent on me . that is something that money can never buy no matter how hard you would try . make it a night at home just the two of you and tell her just what she really means to you and let her know how you feel about her in every way there is and then show her just by being your self , and giving her your time , not letting anything stop the night, ( if need be sit up all night just talking about anything that she and you would like to but mostly her ) best of luck to you ….

• By ladybird, December 29, 2009 @ 11:17 am It made me happy reading all the things you have done already, you’re both very lucky to have each other! Why not have a talk with her closest friends or your children about what might be her ideal gift? Maybe they can tell you any wishes she has that you haven’t heard of by her. Or you could take a picture of hers that she likes best, and comission a painter ( an art student would probably not be painfully expensive) to make a portrait of her. That would be special and unique.

• By rocketgirl, December 31, 2009 @ 11:19 am YOU are one ROCKIN’ husband! It sounds like you two are perfect together, congratulations! As a mom…..having a week without having to worry about daily tasks would be WONDERFUL….maybe hiring a maid to do household chores/babysitting for you. How about “progressive” dining for the week? Say on Monday go out for an appetizer, Tuesday, salad, Wednesday, entree, etc., and of course finishing it all off with dessert…..:)

• By risa lyn, January 3, 2010 @ 7:14 pm IF your a romantic and like the outdoors maybe see if someone can watch the kids and take her to a special place you 2 have and have a starlight, candle light, moonlit dinner. Its nice you give her lots of things but maybe what she really wants is that little spark you felt when you were just starting to love each other, instead of a material thing or to say here you go, i hope you have fun. All that stuff was real nice of you but as a woman myself what i like the most is my special time alone with the person i love the most and the one i would do anything for. Its real inexpensive but quite sweet and romantic. All you need is a blanket or two, nice dinner idea, couple candels, and i would throw in a single rose with a heart felt letter or card. Let it be a surprise. Keep her wondering. She will be all the more taken back by you sweetness. Hope i could help you.

• By GalfromCal_NM_TX, January 5, 2010 @ 3:30 am This idea is not unique or extravagant, but it is something that I really appreciate from my husband: Say “thank you” for dinner, for keeping the house clean, for taking care of the kids, for getting an education (who wants a stupid mate?); all of the things that she does all the time. Those are the things that start to be taken for granted, you don’t even think about it because she takes care of it. Also, helping around the house and with the kids. Pick up after yourself, clean up after dinner, get the kids ready for bed. While you are doing that, she can take a few minutes for herself; maybe a bubble bath or read a chapter in a novel while sipping some wine or eating a bit of chocolate. The big, one time romantic things are wonderful, but they are “one time” thanks for what she does all the time. Don’t announce that you are going to start helping or saying thank you, just do it. You may find that she is more attentive and loving to you if you do what I have suggested. At least, that’s how it has worked out for me and my husband of 30 years!

• By ougal, January 8, 2010 @ 4:48 am How about you bringing the kids and you and the kids take a photo together for her. I would love that.

• By i bleed black & gold, January 9, 2010 @ 12:02 pm take her on a hot air baloon ride across where you met.sounds like your a lucky guy,hang on to this catch..good luck!

• By bonnie m, January 12, 2010 @ 4:26 pm she is one lucky lady to have a guy like you for a husband. I don’t know if you tried these but here I go. why don’t you pay for her to go to a spa so she can have a little relaxaction and can pamper herself. or you can fill the bath tub up and give her a massage while she’s in there. good luck. and she is lucky.

• By Reizi, January 13, 2010 @ 5:18 am Name a star after her!! It’s inexpensive and romantic…. International Star Registry Good luck!!!!!

• By revtobadblack, January 13, 2010 @ 5:01 pm Find a nice restaurant and have them pack you a picnic basket. And then try to find a quit and clean park or if your town has a arboretum arrange to have a romantic picnic.Then check with your local wine shoppe and buy a bottle of good champagne and two nice wine flutes. See if they have a gift box to put it in. Now if you remember how when you were in school and you would make a hart and wright so and so loves so and so.Well take the wine flutes to a jeweler and have them engraved with your name and hers with the loves and the hart and her name and yours the same so each glass say,s the same But opposite. Put the bottle and flute,s in a gift box with a hand written love note take her on the picnic and give her the gift. Now she has a romantic day out with her love and something for a keepsake. Also a pink Tyler Rose will be a good touch. Live to love and love to live.

• By nabdullah2001, January 16, 2010 @ 6:07 pm Invest in a book called 1001 Ways to Be Romantic the ideas in that book are legendary and you’ll never run out of things to do or a book called 2002 things to do on a date and some of them are things you can incorporate in your own ideas.

• By bubblystrawberrysodapop, January 19, 2010 @ 8:23 pm Blind fold her,and show her Springtime in Paris,take a hot air balloon ride over theroyal gardens in Versaille,take a boat ride down the river,Slowdance on the rivers edge in Paris something they all do in spring and summer so romantic,See the Louvre,Notre Dame then give her a credit card (no putting that in a CD)youve put money on and let her by what she likes in Paris.

• By stacey-lynn, January 21, 2010 @ 3:18 am IT DOESNT TAKE MONEY TO BE ROMANTIC. TAKE YOUR KIDS TO A SITTERS, THEN MAKE HER A ROMANTIC CANDLE LIT DINNER. PLAY HER FAVORITE SONG; PERHAPS YOU TWO HAVE A SPECIAL SONG? THEN ASK HER IF YOU COULD HAVE THIS DANCE.

• By bg918, January 24, 2010 @ 5:45 am What about having a star named in her honor? I think its starregistry.com or something like that – It would be something to last forever – like your love for her. She’s a very lucky woman to have a husband like you.

• By Hailey, January 26, 2010 @ 12:03 pm It sounds like you have already given your wife the world, why not looking into the sky for your answer and buy her a star.

• By JESSAMYN23, January 27, 2010 @ 11:30 pm Ok Mr. Romantic, Go get a book of poetry,a blanket,pack a lunch, and take her to a quiet romantic park or your backyard and read her some poetry….Seems like your a charming guy wish mine was more like that…….

• By neil30hrs, January 29, 2010 @ 9:22 am concentrated in simplicity after 19 yrs im pretty sure you have done all.balance your thoughts on simplicity

• By mislilhoney, January 31, 2010 @ 12:11 pm How about taking her back to where you fell in love or your first date.

• By amivins, February 3, 2010 @ 1:26 pm Stop talking about the spa idea and DO IT. Book her into a full-service resort and spa that won’t take a lot of travel time to get to. Don’t ask her about it, don’t discuss it, JUST DO IT. Believe me, quiet time alone can be one of the greatest gifts in the world.
