On a lighter note, Valentines Day is just around the corner and need to come up for some ideas. I just sent her 2 dozen roses to her office for our 1 yr anniversary so IMO sending flowers again is going to be overkill. I have looking through Amazon for ideas but haven't found anything yet that is calling out to me. Obviously I am taking her out to dinner but trying to think of something else. Any suggestions?
Mine is words of affirmation. I don’t care about expensive things, I want to be told how great you think I am. The best Valentines present I ever had was from batchit crazy ex boyfriend. He snuck into my bedroom in the middle of the night and filled the room with Valentines helium balloons - like, the ceiling was covered. So when I woke up in Valentines Day there were ALL these balloons. It was sweet and made me feel very loved. ( Of course later I find out he did the same for his side chick but that’s another story lol).
I gave her a coupon book for Christmas filled with redeemable things she can ask me to do. Some are little like changing light bulbs others while some were labeled as her choice. That was her favorite gift by far!
I was thinking couples massage too. Sparky and I had one this past weekend and it was a first for both of us. We both loved it.

Well, what about other spa stuff, then? Facial, mani/pedi, etc.

A night at a luxury hotel where you put on fluffy robes, lay in bed, get champagne drunk, eat dessert Off each others body’s and then get in the hot tub.
Might be MY fantasy, but hey, maybe she likes that stuff too. As a busy working mom , just getting away and relaxing and having someone else clean up after me.
Hmmm...am I correct that your climate would not be conducive to a romantic picnic this time of year?
Does she wear necklaces or bracelets? Second most romantic was a bangle bracelet from my husband that had something romantic inscribed on it. Wouldn't have to be that expensive. And the box wouldn't be shaped like a ring box lol.
