Happy Heart Day  

Posted by Benjie in , ,


Hurry, hurry, hurry. If you rush out to the "last-minute-I'm-so-stupid-how-did-I-forget-it-again" store, you can still buy that perfect, thoughtful, romantic gift for your wife. (Now you wish you'd taken this advice, don't you?)

Not to worry, I'm here to help. Write her a note--not an email (though you might get by with an e-card as well, Hallmark's been picked over. Trust me). Make it a special note. Reminisce about those early days.

Here's another idea: dig around in her stuff for awhile. You may stumble onto an old love letter from those courtship days. Take that and find a pretty frame. Then wrap the whole thing up with the simple note "Thinking of You" on the outside of the package.

Give her a surprise call in the middle of the day from work.

Take her out for coffee--she's already given you your favorite meal.

Offer to take care of the kids for two hours so she can, go out, pamper herself, take a bubble bath, whatever (no housework allowed).

Give her a booklet of coupons that she can redeem anytime--things like "good for one free hug" "offer good for one washing of dinner dishes" and so on. Be sure to mark each one with "ABSOLUTELY NO EXPIRATION DATE" you don't want to put a limit on your love.

There, now I've done your work for you, find some way to show her you love her that doesn't center on you.
