Valentines Day, What has made your wife happy?

Valentines Day, What has made your wife happy?

Chocolate ... NOPE!
Flowers .... yes
Jewellery ... a bit... then she puts it in a drawer and it collects dust for decades.

The big success from Christmas and in her own words "best gift ever" has been...

YEP, all week she has been using it, work hours end and after supper or at lunch when I ask to help I get the "I don't need your help" and hear it running a bit later. Suggestions, double checking measurements, removing dry wall or popcorn ceiling and clean up and moving the boards up or down the stairs and assembly yes, but "I can do it" and "best present ever" have put a real smile on her face since Christmas.

SO... for the younger guys, think out of the box... or how to make the box in my case. :thumbup:

I'll pass on that. :) Best Valentine present for me is still having my husband at my side after 50 years.

We don't do flowers but generally go out to to a restaurant for dinner or a lunch and have our own shopping day . She picks out what she wants I usually get a bunch of fishing stuff.

It's a Winn Winn I get fishing stuff I use and we spend the day together without buying into the over priced flowers .

With mandates in place we will not be eating in and I was just at cabelelas last week few hundred bucks later should I buy more fishing supplies probably lol.

Whenever I leave the house and head up to the camp for 3 or 4 days as long as I take the dogs with me. I keep telling her that one of these days I'm just going to stay up there. She said just let me know when that is and I'll help you pack....

I’ll usually cook or bbq a nice meal. The jewelry/chocolate/flowers phase disappeared pretty quickly. Now she just wants some quiet time.

Can't tell ya cuz this here's a family channel,so, I gotta act respectable.

Flowers and chocolate has always worked for my wife and daughter.
They have my love and whatever they need already.
And I get to eat most of the chocolates anyways. lol

I would say 20 years and since I have to buy the wife another car I can claim that as a Valentines gift and that should also be good for at least 5 years.

Not Valentine's day but a month later for her birthday I bought her a cement mixer. She thought it was the best gift ever and put it to use for a lot of summers after.

The happiness of making daily routines easier is enough for her. Just don't be moving my screwdrivers where I can't find them.

and I've heard that before. :)

Not wasting money on stupid gifts makes my wife happy.
She does enjoy some quality chocolate so that isn’t a waste but also not necessary

Exactly not wasting money on another commercialized holiday. A fool and their money is easily parted lots of way to show the misses she is important every day. I don't need a special day for that.

Seems a water pik was actually pretty good.... I am beginning to see the reason books like Gary Chapman's book on the 5 love languages is viewed as such as beneficial resource.

For the beginners... I would suggest reading Gary Chapman's book!

All you really need is a good book on Properly training your wife.

Lovely. A small token is the best, IMO. February sucks and it's nice to have a reminder that the people you're holed up with really do care.

You needed to put a smilie at the end of your post so we knew you were just kidding. :)

Maybe I am not. ;)

Although I did not train her very well.

But I must not have done to bad as out of 5 friends I'm the only one still married, officially 25 years this Aug. Married Aug 1996.
Yup 25 veryyyy long years

Thought the 25th was last year guess I made a mistake.

The wife watches that show where the guy has several wives and I suggested we should do the same and I could have several wives. She just mumbled under her breath back to me.
I'm thinking maybe that means she's thinking about it.:shades:
