What should I do for my wife this Valentine's day?

Asked by YoBob (12846points) February 9th, 2011

Ok, so I’m having a really hard time coming up with that perfect little thing that will say “I love as much now (more, in fact) than I did when we first got married.”

Alas, she is one of the most difficult people in the world to give gifts to. She does not wear jewelry (excepting for a couple of very special pieces). She won’t wear any cloths that she didn’t try on herself up front. She is quite practical and non materialistic so it is very hard to find a “thing” that can be given as a token, or more specifically such tokens must walk that fine line between practicality and frivolity.

Flowers are so predictable and ordinary. Chocolate is always welcomed, but don’t quite express the intent.

Any suggestions from you hopeless romantics out there?

I’m thinking along the lines of something child-like. Perhaps a box of those little candy hearts with messages like “Be Mine” along with one of those goofy little valentine cards that grade school kids give to one another. Whadaya think? What can I do to kick that or a similar concept up a notch and peg out the old romance-o-meter?
