What do wives really want for Valentine’s Day?
One of our regulars thinks her husband could use a little help on his ideas. Could your husband?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
One of our regular contributors thinks her husband needs a shot in the arm (or a kick in the head) of creativity for Valentine’s Day. She’s hopes we can offer him some brilliant ideas to please his lovely bride!
Here are some ideas that I would enjoy any time of year. They range in price from free to a little more expensive:
Cut flowers from the DeKalb Farmer’s Market - In past years they’ve had a dozen roses for around $12.
A book for me picked out by my husband. Nothing pleases me more than when he returns from the used book store or library with books chosen just for me.
One piece of rich chocolate cake that I do not have to share. (Clearly eaten after the kids go to bed!)
Taking the children out of the house so I can be alone in the house.
The husband booking the babysitter. Husbands come up with great ideas for places to go to eat but then you’re left having to track down a babysitter. One of my friend’s husbands hired the babysitter one time and we both thought that was the nicest thing ever!
Brunch and a walk in a park or a walk around a botanical garden.
A visit to the High Museum (without kids).
Dancing lessons - like the rumba or swing. Several lessons where you could actually look good together.
So now it’s your turn. Share your best Valentine’s Day ideas so this poor husband will have a thoughtful gift for his wife!
