Personally, I'd be super happy if a bottle of chilled champagne were waiting, or if there was lingerie wrapped up for me. My husband knows my preferences (and size!), but the lingerie especially is a very personal thing and should be ventured into cautiously.
Honestly, buying Stuff can be difficult. If you just wrote her a card saying how excited you were to spend a lovely weekend together, that would probably be plenty to make her feel cared for.
Thank you! It's funny you mention lingerie.. she never buys herself anything nice in that area and I gave her a really pretty bra/underwear set a while back that she absolutely loved.. was wondering if that would be ok to do again.. The card is an amazing idea.. love it!1 -

I know you were looking for the ladies but I can tell you what's done it for me in the past. I've taken a few extra hours off work and cleaned up on top of the dinner. Coming home to a clean house with dinner made is one of the best things I can do for my wife. Flowers for that added touch!1

I don't think it's trying too hard if whatever you do speaks to your wife...we all have our "thing", sounds like you know her well!0

Not to sound materialistic, but buy them something they may have mentioned wanting before but wouldn't buy for themselves. It shows they are worth it and that you paid attention to things they say.1

Seriously! C'mon brothers (if any of y'all are reading this). Step up your housekeeping game!2 -
OP - Just a thought: does she have a Pinterest profile? You might be able to creep some good ideas for jewelry, shoes (my wife goes nuts when I find shoes that are like the ones she pinned), clothing, and even little trinkets.1

I like this idea!0 -
Everybody wants something different...just wanted to throw out that buying clothes was a "do not cross" line for me. I had someone do that once and it was really, really uncomfortable. The kind of relationship makes a difference though--probably not a good idea to do this in a new relationship. In a marriage or more established relationship, it would have a different tone.
My SO brought me a steaming pile of cow manure yesterday, which made me extraordinarily happy. I am an avid gardener but I do not have a truck to haul such things, so it was a GREAT gift...for me. Most girls probably would not want cow poop...to each her own.
You have to tailor to her specific personality. 0 -
make a dessert too... her fav wine or drink. Maybe even fresh flowers... lucky girl! good luck!0

All I need to add is a big DON'T...after posting about needing advice from just "the ladies"...you probably shouldn't inbox your responders with friend requests and offers to "chat". I doubt this bozo has any time to make dinner for his wife or clean the house because he's too busy bugging other women. Have a great day all!1

Yes but nobody here wants to hear about your cow kitten porn. This isn't an xrated site0 -
Excuse me... There was no ulterior motive for sending a FR. I thought that since people were kind enough to respond to this thread, that I could reach out to people for other ideas without having to post a thread. Saying, "hope to chat sometime" does not mean that I'm trying to flirt with you. Please don't flatter yourself. It amazes me how negative people are and how they jump to conclusions. Just because you've had bad experiences with people does not give you the right to post negative comments or name call. Have a good day.2

Nice try? Whatever. Sorry you have such bad experiences.. be well.1 -
I agree, make sure the meal fits her diet well and make sure she doesn't have to do any cleanup afterwards..... It's not cooking dinner that wears us out, it's the cleanup after that we hate lol so her not having to clean up after the dinner will likely be appreciated more than the actual dinner. But really, just the fact that you put so much thought into doing something special for her is sure to make her day!0
