    What to get an extremely hard to buy for husband for Valentines day...

    Every year we dont do anything, for ANY celebration.. so as of his birthday last year (which is after valentines day) we decided to start doing things for big events..
    So ive got DD looked after for a few hours on the night so we can have dinner and have our time, i was going to cook, but im a terrible cook and i dont need that added stress, so was thinking of just ordering chinese or something we rarely ever have. Of course candles and wine ect..
    I want to get him a little gift, just to show him how much he means to me .. except, he doesnt wear jewellery, or watches or cologne.. he hates key rings (he has 3 keys on his and i carry the rest on mine lol) he doesnt do clothes (he picks his own stuff and only does that like once every 2 years..)
    HELP!!!! hes the blokiest bloke ever.. that doesnt drink AT ALL.. Im so stuck, i was hoping a bit of idea flinging could go on and i might get something from that??

    Are you married to my DH???

    We don't do Valentine's Day particularly, but I usually get my DH some white chocolate or maybe a new DVD that we can watch together that night. Otherwise, I agree with Skybie and think lingerie is a great idea - something you both get a benefit out of!!

    Does he like sport or music? Maybe a ticket to some event you know he'd really like?

    I agree with the lingerie. Thats my gift to my DP

    But i think dinner, candles with nice music and then getting changed into something sexy will make a great valentines day gift. Or you could be really naughty like us one year and buy one of those naughty board games

    I love the lingerie idea. Maybe even get dressed & take a sexy photo of you in it & frame it for him.
