FlyLady.net: Romantic Valentine's Ideas!!

Romantic Valentine Ideas Part 2

I made my husband a CD of "our songs"....like the song we danced to at our wedding and other songs that were meaningful to us while we were dating, engaged, and played at our wedding. I scanned a picture of the two of us into the computer to make the "cover" and used the software that came on my computer to add a title.

P.S. I'll also share my best friend's romantic idea she did for her husband on their honeymoon as a fun way to add a little extra mystery. She put all the frilly things she got at her lingerie shower in a bag and let him close his eyes and choose something out of the "grab bag". She agreed to put on whatever came out of the bag. She shared the idea with me when I got married, and it even brings a little fun and excitement all throughout the year. : )
I am going to do what my husband loves the best - I am going to give him a massage followed by a long, leisurely bubble bath. He loves it when I scrub his back and wash his hair. Then I want him to have a restful night on luxurious clean sheets. We recently received 1200 thread count sheets for Christmas & he loves them.
He didn't know how much he would enjoy bubble baths, but now he LOVES them. I had to coax him into the tub the first time. Try it, ladies. I think you will enjoy the special pampering time as much as he does. I know that I do.

Happy Valentines' Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! The best Valentine's Gift I received was a scavenger hunt through out the house a few years ago. I found a note with clues leading to another note some with Hershey's Kisses or Sweetheart Candies with sayings attached. The final note told me that my DH had planned a weekend away for us (Grandmom was enlisted to watch the kids for the weekend) to celebrate. Everything was taken care of in advance, a lot of thought went into this. The weekend away was nice but the search (DH was at work and the kids at school) was so much fun, I felt like a young girl! This gift made me feel and I still feel very special.

PS This can be for the special guy in your life too!
I make a heart-shaped homemade pizza for DH and the kids for Valentine's Day.
Neither of us needs a lot of candy around, so I'll get DH just a few well-chosen decadent truffles - the kind with the velvety chocolate filling.

Two things:
1) We have a tradition of giving coupons for Valentine's Day--no clutter, no expense, no calories, lots of creativity, and a year full of bits of romance here and there. MS Publisher has some templates already; or they're easy to make on your own. The coupons are for backrubs, pedicures, get-out-of-laundry-free, re-organizing the shed, carpet picnics of Chinese take-out and a comedy on DVD . . . you get the idea. Tailor it to suit--romantic, practical, risque--and use the first one that night.
2) We love to listen to comedy CDs on road trips, watch stand-up comedians on TV, and even listen to the kids' knock-knock jokes. And I love the sparkle in his eyes when he laughs. So this Valentine's Day weekend, we are going to a local comedy club. Nobody famous, because the big names cost a lot, but even if the comics are horrible, I bet we'll share some laughs. 56. An Email requesting his presence after the kids are in bed ;)

I am an office manager in a General Motors Automobile dealership. As part of my bonus, I get "points" from General Motors to be spent on their specific web site. For my husband, who is a Green Bay Packers fan, I ordered a Sportspass Weekend Adventure. This will allow us to have 2 days and 1 night in a hotel in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and attend a Green Bay Packers game, all expenses paid. This is for a man who had only left the state of Michigan once before he married me in 2000, and he is 60 yrs old. It will be a second honeymoon for us. With a limited budget (he is on permanent disability) it is a blessing to be able to do this for him...he does the majority of the laundry, all the yard work, and mopping the floor with a wet rag under his foot. Any housework is a blessing, and I have learned that perfectionism has no place in my house.
I'm giving my DH a "year of dates". With 2 young children, a busy career for DH, and lots of volunteer church and school work, it seems that we miss alot of the Friday night date nights. So to make sure we go on at least one date per month, I've created 12 special date coupons. Some of the dates are: bowling, dinner and a movie, an overnight stay at a bed and breakfast, and a picnic in the park. I printed these onto velum and placed it on top of some pretty cardstock with a black and white rose print. A simple red ribbon holds each coupon together. I'll place these in a heart-shaped pillow with a pocket, along with a Valentine's Day cookie, some chocolates and a Valentine's Day card. Hopefully, having these coupons will help us to plan out our dates in advance... and be a gift we can enjoy throughout the year!

I'm inviting my husband to join my bubble bath!
we like to go out to dinner and get dessert to go and eat it together by candlelight, usually all snuggly in bed, we have a hard time finding good child care for our four month old and we couldnt afford a night out if we could, so this way we can have some real romance after he is asleep for the night

I was going to Bath and Body works and get something nice smelling and give him a coupon for a 1 hour massage.
I don't know how romantic this might be for anyone else, but this one small gift is one that I can't wait to give to my husband. I went to Best Buy and they will download a cd with any 10 songs available on their list. I picked songs from when we were dating and songs played at our Wedding and "Our Song" we danced to at our reception. I picked songs from our favorite movies such as Ghost and Titanic. I also picked songs that had wonderful titles that relayed the message that I love him. They put the cd in a nice plastic holder like you get any cd in and I made a cover with our picture on it and added stickers. It looks like a store bought cd with all these added touches to it. He just said the other night, "I wish we had some romantic music to play. It took everything I had to keep this a secret until Valentine's Day.
FlyLady Crew, I have found Valentine's Day to be the perfect time to get corny and goofy with my mate of 20 years and our children. Every day we spend together we tell each other "I love you" so on Valentine's Day we allow ourselves to cut loose and get really mushy and gushy. This year, we'll have a nice candlelit dinner (with all 3 children, as they are the perfect expression of our love, lol) and we'll eat handmade chocoate truffles with *champagne* (sparkling apple cider) while we watch a romantic family friendly, movie. (Probably The African Queen or The Quiet Man). I already shopped for Valentine's presents (books, each chosen specifically for each person) and cards last month so I wouldn't have to stress. After the children are in bed, I plan on giving my honey a long foot rub with scented lotion (in our recently FLYwashed bedroom with the new comforter and actual drapes on the windows!) and after that, well, only the cats will know!

I have arranged a get-away this weekend for my husband and I. My four kids will be taken care of, so it's just us two for some fun! And fun we'll have because I booked us a hotel and tickets in Orlando to attend the Universal Studios Mardi Gras festivities.
My husband has never been to Universal, nor New Orleans (I lived in Biloxi, MS, for years and attended Mardi Gras every year!!), so this is going to be a big surprise for him. I have been wanting to take him to New Orleans for Mardi Gras for years, but it has just never happened due to family commitments and just one thing after another. This is the next best thing, even though it's only an hour from home, we'll still be able to get away for a "just the two of us" weekend and experience somewhat of the Mardi Gras/New Orleans atmosphere... and even ride some rides like kids if we want! lol
Another added benefit is that the band playing that night is "The Go-Go's", the girl band from the '80's ("We've Got The Beat", etc.), who he personally met years ago in Tampa, and who he has always had a crush on Belinda Carlisle, the lead singer. I know that he is going to be in his element (just like a young guy again!! lol) with his wife and his favorite girl band "crush" both at the same place and time. I'm so excited to see his reaction when he finds out about the band (and the fact that I remembered! he he)... I know he is just going to flip!!

Loving my hubby, as well as myself, in Florida
My husband has been under serious stress at work for the past two or three months and it’s taken a toll on him physically. Exactly one year ago, we went on a cruise to the Caribbean and I asked him if he thought going away (anywhere!) would help him feel better. He declined, but I decided to finally get our pictures developed and put them and captions in a photo album / journal I picked up from one of the islands we visited. I’m hoping that helps him to remember good times past and realize that this, too, will pass. I also booked him a haircut and a 30 minute stress massage for his next day off.
When our children were little and we didn't have much money, we decided as a family to make homemade valentines for each other, we would make them then share them with each other at a special meal on Valentines day.
Over the years, Those cards became a real treasure to me, but I especially remeber one my husband made for me on the way home in the company plane from a business trip. He had a piece of white paper, his folding scissors and a red pen. On the airplane, he cut hearts and wrote a wonderful message for me, with his business associates sitting right beside him.
We have plenty of money for fancy cards and gifts now, but nothing can be more romantic than those cards. Even though our daughters are adults,we continue to send each other home made cards. I just received an email from our 24 year old, reminding us to get our "cards" in the mail.
Dear Fly Lady,
As a recently born fly baby, I just wanna say a big THANK YOU!!! Since my bedroom and whole house for that matter is looking so spic and span, I've decided that instead of going out we'll celebrating Valentines Day on Saturday and the Hubby will be King all day. I'm starting with a breakfast of all his favorite things in bed, then he's getting a massage and pedicure (by me) and then a formal sit down dinner (linen and all) a movie, and then, who knows ;-).

Thanks so much!!!
Peace & Blessings,
I am laughing and laughing... The most romantic thing I could think of to get my guy is another tool. He just loves tools and they make him feel really strong and manly. I did buy him pure silk Valentine boxers once, but although I liked them, for him nothing says it like a tool. ur ururururur!

Find a pocket sized calendar. One that will fit in the glove compartment. Go through random days-start with one each week. Fill in something you appreciate, love, or admire about your guy. It can be remembering something he did for you when you were younger, it can be one word, it can be a funny little drawing with significance only to the two of you, etc. After you have one a week. Go through and try to fill one more for each month. Do as many as time allows. Then ask him to keep his mileage written on it, something he will do several times a month. Now periodically add to it as the year goes by, always writing in months ahead. A delightful gift that lets him know that even if the day is totally bad to this point, someone is waiting at home who appreciates, loves, and adores him.
Since money is a little tight right now, here is what I plan to do -- something that we often do on date night. We have an indoor date night, where one of us (often me) cooks a special meal and we have it upstairs in our bedroom with the door closed. We put on a DVD .. just whatever we want to watch .. eat our dinner and just visit. What makes it special is the food I choose (I like to barbecue meat, sautee LOTS of mushrooms, do a special pasta dish and salad) and the ambience (lots of candles in the room, so we eat by candlelight). Or, we might forego the DVD and put on some nice music (an instrumental soundtrack, perhaps) and just visit. I put a big towel over the bedspread so we don't have to worry about any food getting on the new sheet set. The kids are old enough now (DS 16, DD 13 and DD 8) that they expect to be on their own when it's date night .. we usually get them a pizza (pre-made from the grocery store) or something they enjoy that they don't get at any other time. So it's special for them, too! They pick their own movie (that they agree on) and away they go. Everyone's happy!
I am going to take "I love you" balloons to his work secretly and ask someone to put them on his desk. A small box of candy will hold them down.
My husband and I have been married for 13 years, and we haven't celebrated Valentine's day in the past 10, but I think those 'date night' emails are beginning to sink in. The other day I saw a robe that looked just like the ones we had in our room on our honeymoon. We talked about buying a set back then, but we were poor and the $75 each that it would have taken was too much for us.
So you probably guessed it. I bought one in each of our sizes and tucked a next-to-nothing nightgown that would fit me, the kind that never stays on very long, in HIS robe pocket. So I guess you could say that I'm giving him 'me' for Valentine's Day, along with some new memories to go along with those 13 year old ones.

Hugs,
a Flybaby looking forward to Valentine's Day
I'm taking my hubby out to a Moroccan restaurant where they have belly dancing & get the guests to get up and dance too! He loves belly dancing- very sensuous! And some friends of ours offered to watch our daughter. Yippee!
My guy would like a full body massage and a pedicure. What would be fun is to make an appointment at a spa that is just for 2 in a cozy room (so no one is around watching) and get a pedicure for 2. Bring along champagne and chocolates, he will be very impressed.
I have already got him the after market parts for his truck he gets those early (tomorrow). But I plan on v-day itself...
He has to work, so all day i am going to put lil notes all over wiht clues leading him to next clue, each cule will have a piece of the puzzle. finally leading to the dinning room table where his favorite meal (homemade porkchops with the trimings) will be waiting...along with me. the kids are going to be there too, dont want to put them on someone since most have plans already. After dinner we are going to play a board game, what a movie of HIS choice (oh boy war movie woohoo) While we are watching the movie the kids will be in bed by now and we are going to give each other foot massages followed wiht back massage for him after the movie, with a warm shower, then to bed.
You asked for Valentine idea's so here is mine:
I convinced my DH to take the day off from work and I am doing the same, since Valentines falls on a weekday this year. Our DS and DD will be at school and work so we will have the day to spend together. I will make my DH a big cup of hot chocolate and bring in his paper and we will relax and read the paper together. After that we might take a walk around the neighborhood(he loves to do that) or a stroll at one of the mall's. We plan to go to a matinee movie and then an early dinner. If for some reason we cannot find the "right" movie we will rent a nice romantic one and then go out for an early dinner. That way we beat the rush of those going out for the evening. Just the idea of spending a whole day with my DH without anyone else involved sounds so nice to me. I told him, "No projects", just a day to relax and enjoy each other's company.
Because of what I am learning with your emails and website I will feel no guilt at taking a day off. BTW my bills are all up to date and my kitchen is clean!
This year for my DB, I wrote him a poem for Valentines Day. I looked in my heart and put it on pretty paper and in a frame. From our 9 month old DS he is getting the movie, "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou." A movie with The Soggy Bottom Boys from his very own soggy bottom boy.
Dear Flylady-
My husband and I have been married 9yrs. Ever since we met, we have done the same gift. You can only spend $10.00! I know that is crazy - but it really makes you think. We always say that it has to be creative. For example - I took a little red nightie that I had received as a wedding gift and went and bought $5 in lottery tickets and a $5 Love Coupon Book that was also a lottery type ticket. I carefully pined them all over the little red nightie. My husband loved it because I do not usually wear them (little nighties). An example of something he has done for me - when I was a working girl before we had kids, he totally cleaned my closet - from organizing shoes to folding sweaters to getting plastic shoe boxes for all of my shoes. After he had it all clean he filled it full of red, white, and pink balloons. (He is a firefighter, so he and the guys spent the day before at the station blowing up over 400 balloons).
We started this because the first year we meet we went skiing with my family and we didn't have a lot of money (not married yet). They next year, we married in November, had Christmas in December, My birthday in January and then came February. After the second year, by third and fourth we stopped asking if that was what we were going to do - its now a tradition.

Happy Valentines Day!

I am giving him some PEZ. He loves the stuff and NEVER gets it for himself. Also, because he works 3rd shift and has a different eating schedule than the rest of the family, I have arranged for a babysitter to sleep over so that I can take my husband lunch at work and actually eat with him.
Last night my honey asked me what I wanted for V-Day. What I want most for Valentine's Day is simply a romantic evening with my very busy hubby. I know that he doesn't have the time to plan something like that right now so I'm doing it. I told him that he just needed to show up. He gave a huge smile in relief.
I'm sending him a suggestive invitation by mail to his office address.
I'm preparing a simple multiple O, I mean, course meal at home after the kids are in bed asleep.
Nice bottle of red wine
Baked Brie,
Crab stuffed Mushroom caps,
Carrot Soup,
Spinach, apple, feta and pecan salad,
Mazatlan Prawns (bought from Costco)
Chocolate Fondue dessert
...... incredible textures and flavors, not too much food for each course. Don't want him to fall asleep early. I'll have lots of pillows by the fireplace, clusters of candles. He can put on his favorite music for the evening. All is very easy to prepare.
And to make everything all the more interesting... a blindfold.
A big hug and kiss and what ever that leads to.
I haven't yet asked my hunny what he'd like, but I have already purchased 2 pair of cute SpongeBob boxers. He looks sexy in Boxers! After all, what is Valentine's Day for if not fun undies?
We are planning a weekend away this year, but to make it extra special I'm going to bring along some massage oil and candles.
Last year, I wrote a list for my husband that he could frame, entitled, "Fourteen Things I Love About You."
I think this year I will start a brag book where I write a new paragraph or a page every time he does something to please me. I have heard that this is really handy to go back and read on days when we're not feeling so happy with our spouses...and it's a good reminder for them too!
Dear Flylady and crew:
This idea might not seem romantic at first, but oh it really is! Even if we give other presents, every year at Valentine's my DH and I always give each other this one special gift--we take some time to tell each other what we each think is romantic this year. Some years I want to be romanced with chocolate and flowers all the coming year. Some years getting written letters from my husband all year is romantic to me. Some years I want him to emphasize cuddling with me. Some years I even want appliances! Anything that just makes me feel loved is what I ask for---AND I want to know about any special thing my DH wants too! (actually he almost always asks for the same thing--chocolate!)
The point is, we have an opportunity to really communicate. My DH thinks it's pretty romantic that he doesn't have to guess at what I want. He loves it that I tell him!

romancing while we fly!
We celebrate Valentine's Day with two other couples. One year the women plan "the date" and surprise our fellows and the next year the men plan "the date." The date can be anything from dinner and a movie to a weekend get away. I think it is the surprise involved and a chance to get out with our friends that makes this the perfect way to celebrate.
I got my sweetie a journal and have filled each line in it with quotes that represent my love for him and some special poems that I have written for him.

One of the most romantic things my husband ever did for me was a note he left on my vanity mirror which read,
"Honey, I hope you see real beauty when you look in the mirror. I do when I look at you."
I will purchase something sheer, small and black that I will only wear for a short while. ;) And a small chocolate treat in the shape of a frog since dh collects frogs.
DH would like brownies that taste rich and chocolaty but are low fat.
In the past, I have created a week-end get away in our own home. I whisked our 2-year-old over to Grandma's house for their own Valentine slumber party and then went to work to create a hotel-like atmosphere in our bedroom and bath. I cleaned our bedroom until it sparkled and put silky sheets on the bed, placed candles here and there, turned on soft music, and brought plants and greenery into the room (which really gave it a tropical look). I set up the TV at the foot of the bed with a selection of favorite movies, laid out some sexy items to lounge in ;-) and prepared a large basket of snacks, including popcorn, brownies, drinks, etc.
When my husband arrived home from work, a picnic was already laid out on the floor (ordered in) and he was then treated to a soak in the tub. We retired to the bedroom for a night of movies, snacks, and whatever else we could think of :-) It really did feel like we were relaxing at a hotel away from home, that is until our 2-year-old called at 2 AM because she was homesick and we had to go get her!
Last year I made a list of "100 reasons why I love you," which really made me stop and appreciate all the wonderful little things I love about my husband. This year I've taken snapshots of myself and our two daughters, blown them up to 8 x 10 and printed them in black and white. I'll frame them for him to hang at his shop.
This is more sentimental than romantic but my mother-in-law gave me my husband's old baby/childhood scrapbook and lots of photos in an old adhesive photo album. I removed all the pictures and memorabilia and have been putting them in a Creative Memories Scrapbook photo album for him. I have kept back photos of his special farming projects and achievements since we've been married and will add those to his very own album.
Guys have a different idea of romance than us ladies. For him I'm going to get his car cleaned and an oil change since he is too busy to get it himself.
Hello, Flycrew!!
God Bless You for all you do and for all you have done for my family!!
This Valentine's Day, I have been really sneaky. My darling, priceless DH is a gem and has always been so supportive of me, whatever I try to do. He is a fantastic father and husband and spends all of his time and energy taking care of and spending time with us, his family.
But, he is also a fabulous, talented photographer, and has always dreamed of making a living at what he calls his "hobby". He could easily sell his work, but has never really had the confidence. Just this past 4 months, he has begun working hard on getting his inventory in order, framing some for display, and working on a website. Tentative little "babysteps" and I am so proud that he has decided to pursue his dream, after 12 years of putting it off for us.
To make a long story just a little shorter, I ordered some custom business cards for him, and a beautiful silver keeper that he can carry with him, to hand them out and let people know about his talent. He doesn't know about it, and I can't wait to put a big lipstick kiss on that silver (my own personalized "bow") and place it on his breakfast plate V-Day morning. It's nice to finally be supporting HIM for a change!!

Thanks for clearing my thinking and my schedule, so I can focus on creatively loving my sweetie.....

For years now, we've had "guilt-free valentine's day." We take the whole weekend and just relax, and if we want chocolate, we go buy some, and if I want a gift, I tell him. No sitting around insisting on surprises and doodads. I give my husband the gift of a pleasant weekend.
My DH and I have been married 7 years. Over that time, we've exchanged cards and had a home cooked romantic dinner on Valentine's day. He also gets me flowers and maybe some chocolates. I realized that he was sort of getting the short end of the romantic stick. I hadn't really gone out of my way to romance him. Well this year I decided to do it a little differently.
One of the gals in our Indiana fly group sent an idea for the 14 days of Valentine's day. I thought it was a great. I modified some of them, but all of them are inexpensive and thoughtful ways of letting him know that I'm thinking of him. Just in case someone else wants to try this, I'm going to list mine. I started this on February 1st. If I had not been flying, I would not have been able to plan ahead and pull this off.
1. His favorite candy bar under his pillow
2. put a love note in his wallet
3. Tape tiny hearts on his closet door
4. lipstick heart on mirror
5. coupon for backrub
6. breakfast in bed
7. cook his favorite dinner, serve by candlelight
8. handmade card
9. candy kisses sprinkled in his car
10. bake his favorite cookies
11. put a love note in his shirt pocket
12. made a "kiss in pocket" card. Got this idea from the children's book The Kissing Hand so he can take my kiss with him wherever he goes.
13. a coupon for a day to do as he wishes
14. run him a bubble bath, with a warm towel out of the dryer.
The results have been amazing so far and have put a little extra spark in our relationship. :)

Last year my husband was thrilled when I surprised him by cleaning out the other half of the garage so he could park in it. We could only fit one car in the two-car space, because of all the clutter. He was so sweet he always insisted I got the spot inside so the kids and I wouldn't freeze in the mornings. I hauled away a bunch of my garage sale "finds," outgrown baby carriages, etc., and lo and behold, in one morning was able to make room for him! It's a gift that's romantic and clutter-free!

Hi FlyCrew!
This is slightly risque, but I think my guy will get a kick out of it. He's a cameraman with the local news channel, so I had the idea this morning to send a big envelope to the station, addressed to the Cameraman with the Best Equipment. Inside that envelope there will be another that is addressed to The Greatest Guy on the Camera Crew, or something similar . . a few envelopes later - each addressed in such a way EVERY guy would hope it would be for him - my guy's name will appear, and inside that last envelope there will be a very sweet invitation for a romantic evening for two at our house, complete with a very nice meal, excellent wine and everything else he could hope for.

Thank goodness I'm learning to fly and my home can be a romantic setting!
I'm so proud of myself! I think I've figured out the perfect gift for my husband this year--of course, next year might be more of a challenge if I hit it out of the park this year, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it! ; )
I decided to make a mix-CD for DH. We have software to download individual songs (all legal), and I've been transferring our CD collection to the software as well (when I'm done, there'll be no more CDs to dust!!). So I picked out about 15 "love songs"--songs we had sung at our wedding (10 yrs ago in April), songs that have been fun for us, and songs that talk about God's love for us and our love for Him. After all, while not traditionally "romantic," God is the reason we're together today! : ) I'm designing the graphics for the CD label and having oh! so much fun doing it! : ) I sincerely hope he likes it as much as I do, but regardless, I know he'll appreciate the effort I've put in to it. : D

Hello Ladies,
Something very romantic and sexy to is to buy a couple roses pull petals off the stems put in bowl when the time comes sprinkle rose petals across your sheets, in your bath tub water and have lots of candles burning in the bedroom and bath. Please be careful and don't set fire to anything. Doesn't cost much and something you will remember for years to come.

Enjoy.........
Happy Valentines Day Flybaby in Pine Knot Ky....
I've been married to my husband for over 18 years now... despite having 7 children together, we had a tough, difficult marriage for 17 of those years. I wasn't easy to live with, but he continued to love me in spite of myself.
Last May, God opened my eyes to how wonderful a man he is, and I fell in love with him in a way that made the first time look like a mild crush!
We've been on a second honeymoon ever since - Woo-hoo!!!
So, in a way, this is our "first" Valentine's Day together, in a meaningful sense. Always before, I'd have to find those "Despite it all, I suppose it's ok to be stuck with you" type of cards... I wanted this year to reflect how much I love him, and how grateful I am to still have him and his love...
So, I headed to the dollar store, and bought a bunch of those little gift bags, some tissue with red hearts on them, and a package of little silly valentine cards, with envelopes.
Then I got stuff to put IN the bags...
A box of band-aids. The note said, "You've brought healing into my life."
A tiny alarm clock. The note said, "I've always got TIME for YOU!"
A little "mood" ring. The note said, "You always put me in the mood!"
A set of toy tools. The note said, "You're MY favorite handy-man!"
A box of chocolate covered peanuts (his favorite). The note said, "You're a little nutty, but you're VERY sweet!"
A little padlock and key. The note said, "You've got the key to my heart!"
A little statue of a bride and groom. The note said, "I'd marry you all over again!"
A lighter. The note said, "You light my fire!"
A little "black book". I wrote my name on each and every page... The note said, "Who needs a little black book, when you've got ME!"
A little "first prize" ribbon. The note said, "You're my Number One Provider!"
A bunch of toy "jewels". The note said, "You're my treasure!"
A pair of sunglasses. The note said, "You're the coolest dude I know!"
A little studfinder. The note said, "Point it at yourself. Yep - you're my stud!"
A bottle of glue. The note said, "I'll stick with you, come what may!"
I also got a romantic valentine card, and personalized it with a heart-felt love note.
I wrapped everything up (about 18 little bags), and delivered it to a friend of mine, who works with my husband...
... She's going to pass them out on Valentine's Day, giving them to my husband's colleagues, secretaries and supervisors. Each of them will be assigned a time to deliver them to my husband, roughly every half hour throughout the day...
By the end of the day, he'll be innundated with gifts, and overwhelmed with little tokens of my love and appreciation for him!!!
I only wish I could see him open them all!
