So lets here some creative things you do to spoil your wife or GF, not the average crap like flowers, dinner, spa trips, etc.... Somebody has to have some other things they do...
Uh oh...what did you do? Kidding! I'm glad there are guys out there who want to spoil them in unique ways - so much that I can't even give you ideas. Though, I've seen some great scavanger hunts that end up with either a romantic dinner at the end or a "bigger" gift.
I made a coupon booklet with a bunch of things that would be redeemed upon receipt. Some of the coupons were for sexual favors, for massages, chore related, some were day's off from parental duties. She liked it way more than the typical flowers or out for dinner. The best part is, many of them were a present for me too. I will say though, is this just to do something nice for her to show you appreciate her or is this because there is an issue. I would always recommend talking (TOGETHER) with a pastor, marriage retreat, etc if there was an actual issue going on.
Always: Wash the dishes. Clean the toilets. Take out the trash. Make sure her car is clean and detailed. Weekend get away. Send her a love letter. Leave her little hidden notes. Find out her Love language. Language Profile | The 5 Love Languages® And find marriage conferences and go to them. I just went to this one 3 hours from my house and made a weekend out of it. Love and Respect Ministries or Weekend to Remember or National Marriage Encounter | A Journey of Discovery! I'm sure others on here have some of there own but if we put half the amount of time and effort into out marriages as we do bowhunting we'd all have happier marriage's.
I've done the coupon book idea a time or two. Depending on the situation... Have the entire house cleaned top to bottom (by either hiring someone or doing it yourself). A post it note with a simple "I love you" goes a long way. Text her "Good morning beautiful, etc, etc"
LMAO there is nothing wrong!! Just trying to come up with some different things is all. So far ya'll have nothin.. lol
Kids are going to be at the grandparents all next weekend. I was thinking of maybe a B&B stay.... just can't decide and that really isn't very creative... Wish it was warmer out, that'd help. Just want to come up with something that is gonna really surprise her...
Haha this is a disaster of a thread already.....i have nothing to add except this and I'm not sure it's what you are looking for...i had her girls take her out to get nails done and blah blah blah then i cooked up a giant meal had a bunch of family and friends over and had a banner made up that said "In appreciation of you and all you do...thank you!"....when she got home everyone was waiting...she had no idea....it went over very well....a lot of work but she's worth it....good luck TJ....glad to see you taking care of yours
See, just got to be a female to come up with the ideas! Are you living in the same area where you guys met/grew up? If so, do first date, favorite place to eat, etc. End it at a cabin, B&B or hotel room with a hot tub.
Tell her to pick out something nice for herself from the grocery store, or run down to casey's and pick up a pizza lmao
lol Think I will take her here for the weekend, not too fancy but just different enough to mix it up and its only about an hour away. Maybe I will use the scavenger hunt to lead her to the reservations...... http://www.scenicvalleyinn.com/accommodation/julianas-room/ No Cole even though its right down the street you can't come over...
Create a shadow box with items from your relationship. Post - It notes in just random spots you know she'll discover...steering wheel, medicine cabinet in morning, a book she's reading...these honestly are great ways of showing you care and are CHEAP! You cook, so have a day in planned with dinner of her choice, movies SHE WOULD WANT TO WATCH...better yet start it off with just a cheesy homemade movie (imovie) of pictures of your past together. Sign up for one of those flowers a week type gig, if she likes flowers. Cleaning without her requesting is always huge as well. Clean out the freezer of death. :D When she sends you to the store...remember what she told you to get
Very nice place. I'd love a weekend get away like that! I'm sure she will too! But another surpise - arrange family portraits to be done; you, the kids, and her!
