Only a week to shop and I have no idea what to get for my wife. Lingerie is out (see my other thread) and we really can't afford me spending a bundle on jewelry. What were some of your favorite gifts or what do you wish someone gave you?
 
What about something geared towards pampering her IE: a prepaid massage, a manicure or pedicure, or some downtime alone to herself to while away as she sees fit (shopping, reading, sleeping)? I don't know about your wife, but I know I sometimes get so caught up in taking care of everyone else's needs that mine fall by the wayside.
 
We have 6 children so belive or not....if he could send them to their gramps for an overnight....and cook for me....bubble bath....massage(by him) and being my servant for the rest of the night....hmmm.....well thats my fantasy.
 
I'm with Quamey T. I would much rather him cook for me, clean the kitchen afterwards and then spend the evening in bed together touching and making out and making love.
 
*For* your wife?.... well, as a photographer, I get a lot of Boudoir type photo shoot request for V-Day.. for their Significant other. What about a sexy Boudoir shoot... with some sexy clothing of choice?

The best, best valentines day gift I ever got wasn't even a gift, really, but an amazing night. My guy (at the time) had contacted my boss and had her OK for me to be picked up at 3:00. (I was not in on it!) He took me to his place, which was immaculately clean (not usual) and had soft music, and made me a cosmo. And then a really great home made dinner with wine.

Then some dancing, slow, in the living room.

Then he acted out a fantasy I had once told him about (and a fairly detailed one at that!), that I had been sure he had forgotten about.

The next day, breakfast on his balcony, and then dropped off late to work (again, prearranged with my boss).

Pretty much, yeah. I'd rather have a relaxing massage from him because he knows all of my spots and I'm comfortable telling him exactly what I like. I'd prefer a homemade dinner over spending a bunch at a restaurant. Add in a few details like a favorite drink/wine and dessert/chocolates, and you should have a really nice evening for next to nothing, if she's an 'it's the thought that counts' kind of woman.

In the past, I've also done things for my husband like filling a bunch of balloons with love notes and his favorite candies, then essentially filling the floor of his (at the time, dorm room) with them, treasure hunts and leaving little notes in unexpected places for him to find. For one celebration, I framed a couple of pics and a poem I wrote for him and attached hockey tickets to the back so he'd have something sentimental as well as something he really liked to do.
 
Care to share the details of the fantasy?

Sure. He took me to his room, slowly took my clothes off, piece by piece, lay me down on the bed (stomach down) and used a silk tie of his to lightly tie my hands to the headboard above my head. I then got a long, warm, relaxing massage that eventually started turning erotic. Eventually he had me roll over (the silk tie had plenty of slack), and did the front of me.

Then he stepped back, and in a way that was slow and panther-like and succeeded in not being cheesy, undressed until he was naked. Because I had told him about this next part he did it )I don;t think he might have otherwise) - he lightly wiped a hand on my oil covered body and and proceeded to take his hands and oil his own chest and abs (he has a pretty rockin bod). And then, straddling me, we slowly stroked his cock with the oil, telling me in his low, husky voice what he was going to do with me.

He then untied the tie, but told me even though I could move, I was not allowed to until he told me I could. He kissed me for a long time, hovering over me, then moved down for a long, long, long session of you know what.

And then he gave me permission to move, and then he was inside of me, and then I was n to of him, and then he was behind me with my hands on the wall over the headboard, and then I totally lost fucking track.

About two hours after the massage started we were done, and I slept about a billion hours.


Or did you just want a one-sentence answer?
 
Big fan of the "just us" night. All distractions away or turned off, and just do something together whether that's cooking at home (or ordering out for the kitchen-challenged of us :D), staying in with a movie, or going out and doing something you both love to do together.

If you're really into gift giving I'd opt for something personal whether that's a book she's wanted or tickets to something she really loves. Best gift I ever got was my bf-at-the-time learned one of my favorite songs on the guitar and played it for me. It was free but so personal :)
 
Then my work here is done.

Come, WonderBreasts, there are others who need our wanking help!

Away!!!!!
(giggles) That's funnyyyy.


I make jewelry, and making your own jewelry is simple and a lot cheaper than expensive diamonds. There's a thought, if you're a DIY kind of guy. Some people scoff at handmade things, but you can make gorgeous stuff for pretty cheap and have it turn out pretty well. Michaels sells crystal jewelry elements too. Of course, as a DIY-er I'm always recommending the handmade route. It's better than roses, for me!

Hey, a lot of women like romance. A 'just for you two' night is always a good route. Get rid of the kids, and see the posts above for details.

We have a local gem and rock shop that sells the most beautiful stones and beads for jewelry making. They have a ton of cool stuff that i've never seen before at very reasonable prices, and a really helpful, knowledgeable staff.

I like to pick out my own jewelry because it's such a personal thing, but I think it'd be awesome to go pick out the stones and general design together, then have my love make it or have it made up.

You're a better woman than I, Red. If someone requests wanking material, I remind them that's what the story section of Lit is for.
 
Are any of you going to do the pampering? Sounds like most of you want to lay back and let your SO do all the work

Dude, no offense, but you were asking what you should give as a gift, and a lot of us said some kind of pampering - 'cause that's what we'd like, and it doesn't have to cost much if anything.

If we had said how about a necklace, would you have asked why weren't getting necklaces for our guys?

lol - I had the same reaction when I read that.

Lots of people offered it as a suggestion for something YOU as the OP could do that wouldn't cost anything.

Additionally, many of the posts talked about quality time TOGETHER, which is something you can both enjoy. : )

Not to read too much into others' posts, but I would guess that some ladies who suggested pampering/dinner are usually the ones doing the pampering, making or being responsible for dinner, etc, so it would be a special occasion if their SO did that for them. Sorry ladies, not trying to be sexist, just guessing from what you said! xD

A bit ago I replied on your lingerie thread as well. If you're still looking for inexpensive ideas, one of the best gifts I ever got was a simple handwritten letter from my BF of some of the things he loved about me, our inside jokes, and one thing he had never told me but now felt comfortable sharing. It meant the WORLD to me - and I still have it. ^^

Thirded. I don't follow the logic of the OP's second question.

I don't find this sexist at all. Your assessment accurately describes what goes on in my household. This was mutually agreed upon when I quit work to stay home with the kids, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't appreciate a break every now and then.
