Hey Bedhead Red,
I know what you mean about needing Valentine's Day Gift ideas for the hubby. I keep doing the same thing every year and I hope my husband's happy......He seems appreciative of my thoughts but I would really like a man's opinion too.
Every year I do the card thing with the husband and the kids. I usually get the kids a little stuffed animal and maybe small boxes of chocolates. For my husband I usually get him his favorite expensive chocolates. This year I spent almost $100 on a box of Lady Godiva chocolates.
Here in Austin it really isn't worth it to try to go out to eat on Valentine's Day.....you need reservations and there are long lines so I usually try to make something that I know my husband likes. Seems like every year we have rib eye steaks, baked potatoes and brocoli rice casserole.
Anyways a home cooked meal is kind of like my way of saving him some money......then we have a nice relaxing evening at home.....and after the kids go to bed.....there is a chance somebody could get lucky. Ha Ha...... Me. My husband works really really hard and conks out early sometimes....but I feel like that is another part of my gift of Valentine's Day to him. He doesn't have to have sex with me just because it is Valentine's Day. It is all about whatever he wants to do. I am just trying to show him how appreciative I am of having him in my life. The thought has even crossed my mind to offer to scratch his back (which he loves) and rub his feet (which is a fetish of mine).
Anyways these are just my ideas. I think the $89 chocolates are enough. I haven't ever spent that much on a box of chocolate before (I usually shop at Wal-mart) I hope they are worth it.
I tend to do unto other's the way I want to be treated myself.......Hence the chocolate......But it doesn't always work real well because my husband isn't into the same kind of stuff I am into. (like jewlry, purses, shoes) So, I try to find things we both like. Just in case he doesn't get a chance to make it to the store. (I am always prepared)
