Need some advice from the ladies of the forum

[Skad]

Ladies,

In a couple of hours, I must leave work and return home to my lovely wife.
Normally, this is a joyous part of my day; however today she's a bit miffed at me.

It seems that 5 packages all came in the mail today. I really must learn to space out my ordering better. Frankly at this point I'm not even sure what a couple of them are.

So what would be an appropriate gift to bring home to her? Chocolates? Flowers? Sleepwear? (the comfy kind, not the kind I would appreciate more then her) Earrings?

all of the above.... plus take her out for dinner.

I agree, but you also might think about jewelry. It'll give her something else to focus on other than the 5 packages.

Wait, did I miss a memo? I thought earrings were jewelry?

And she is already in the middle of preparing a ham, so taking her to dinner isn't an option tonight.

Well I agree-make sure she is not cooking dinner. Take her out to dinner. Her favorite restaraunt. As much as I love gifts it may be sort of a bribe. Especially bringing it home tonight. Maybe over dinner talk about going on a weekend get away. Doesn't have to be expensive just a nice get away alone. I think any other nice jestures, flowers, jewelry etc. would be a nice surprise for another day but don't make it like an even swap. It will take the romance out of it.

oh snap.... well...all of the above should suffice.

and... make sure you don't open any of those packages until she is well pampered for the evening. She gets all attention first. I know it will be hard but you can do it.

flowers, champagne/wine. even maybe a nice card. cards are corny yes, but when once in a blue moon my husband gets me one i'm just so shocked he was in the card aisle my heart is warmed.

consider getting your packages shipped to your work address- thats what i do

Ha, it would be really funny if Donei was Skad's missus

Tell her the packages are saving my life. If I do not get my stuff, I will smoke analogs.
Tell her I have to stock up right now Tell her about the FDA scare. Buying a gift is nice and all. Honestly is better. Tell her we will save money in the long run. No more analogs and the e-cigs will help me quit. Promise her this will get better. Like having to spend alot in the begining and later will save alot. buy one gift for her and tell her you love her.

You did get me LOL there!


If I was his missus... he'd be getting the pamper treatment for all the $$$ I spent on PV's. 8-o

HAHAHHAHAHAHHA- now you have that song in my head!!

 

[nitewriter]

Since you can't take her to dinner:

After dinner, put on her favorite music, draw her a nice candlelit bubble bath to soak in while you do the dishes. After she's done, do a nice hot-oil massage.

These things will not cost you any more than the packages have already.

 

[donei]

Tell her we will save money in the long run.

Rejoice... do you want to guess how many times I've said that line to my husband... and he to me??

We stopped saying that a long time ago.... now we just say it will give is more money to spend on our next obsession.

Stop by your nearest animal shelter and pick up a kitten. She'll be too busy trying to think up a name to be mad...

 

[Kate51]

Just simply tell her you are investing in your future health! Will be no problem. I take it she does not smoke? Perhaps she could do as I often do, if he can spend money so can I, and find SOMETHING to buy, even if I don't need it. Payback can be painful, so make a little deal, maybe you could think of something (bearing in mind she is miffed so go easy)

I dunno folks, if my hubby did something wrong and went to all this trouble to make it right, I might be even more ticked off that he only does those nice things when he's in trouble!
Catch 22 here I'm afraid.

In all fairness, I do try to do nice things for her on a regular basis anyway.
I took her to her favorite restaurant Thursday. Bought her a cute nightgown Saturday. And she owns more gold and silver jewelry then a small pawnshop.

I'm not a bad guy, just a little obsessed at the moment.

If you ever speak with my husband, he'll tell you he's been living a Catch 22 life for 19 years.

According to him... He just can't win.... I jest. We both probably spend a little more than we should. When we get on each other about spending it's playful banter.

I sure hope it's the same with Skad and his wife.
