Valentines Advice

Help a guy make his wife feel as special as possible without spending a ton of money. I know making dinner and giving her a card and maybe a heart felt poem (that hurts to think about) would make her feel special but what else does everyone have for ideas? Feel like I do the same thing all the time and just wanted some outside inputs to help shake it up a bit. Thanks in advance.

Why not get her a gift card from a day spa and let her pamper herself, better yet get yerself one also, my wife luv's it when i do things with her, my wife said most women want to do things with thier husbands and vice versa. May just be my wife but she's not much on the cooking for her and flower thing,mainly since it's easy to do. make it a suprise and something she wont expect from you, i got my wife a shotgun one year so she could go bird hunting with me...SHE LOVED IT!!
GOOD LUCK BUD.

The BOSS( my angel) enjoys the gifts that show I am thinking of her more than teh ones that cost $$$..

Example, stopping by her office and bringing her chocolates from a specialty store down the street from her building is OK, bringing enough to give oneto every girl in her office before I give them to her is A-1 !! that way her co-workers know she is getting pampered by her guy, and her ego loves that, tho she wouldnt admit it...

Little friviolous things that she wants, but wont or cant get herself are always a good way to show you are thinking of her.....

I can only speak from what I've been told - if she's not happy.....you're not happy.

Well, I got my girlfriend a HMF slip on exhaust for her quad. But then, I also bought her the quad a couple weeks ago. She says I am clear for valentines day gifts now

Biggest thing for me is surprises. I love surprising her, and when you really surprise her good, it shows that you put some thought into it and made an effort.
