Ideas for my woman...
I'm looking for ideas to (pleasantly!) surprise my OH. I like to do thinks that are a bit quirky and different - doing things like buying flowers is good but a bit 'samey'.
Any suggestions I get won't be anything I follow to the letter - I'd give things my own 'spin' but we've been together for 4 years so I'm looking at new ways at being romantic. Last week we went for a picnic but instead of traditional picnic food it was all her favourite chocolates and pic-a-mix sweets.
Any ideas would need to be on a budget though....
TIA

Your woman would love that cavemen stuff.
I would book a day off work and go out for the day. Not everything is expensive. Dependant on where you live a walk along the beach?
We've done that sort of thing so I'm looking at things I can specifically do for 'her'. For example I learned 3D Origami just so I could make a swan for her. That sort of thing, personalised. Something that she can see I put time and thought in to
What area are you from...it might help with suggestions.
My sister, bless her, is always getting me 'creative' gifts - like a book with my name in the title, which she read before giving to me, reviewed in her dedication as 'hilariously bad', and gave away the ending. Or the time she bought me a vinyl copy of an album I already own, when I don't own or want a vinyl player. People often say it's the thought that counts, but if she thought about it just a little more she'd get me something less mad
I like to think of things that people have that need replacing, and get them something more expensive than they would get themselves. Like say I needed a new hairbrush because mine is all ratty, getting me an expensive one carved with my name.
Edit: By 'expensive', I mean more expensive or better quality. I'd usually try and spend a pound on a hairbrush.
We secretly gathered together all her favourite people (our group of friends, her kids, pet dog etc...) went to her favourite park and took a picture from a distance - but we werent in a group - we were dotted around the park for e.g. one was on a bench, reading a paper, some were having a picnic, one walking her dog in the distance, one cycling etc... Then we had it printed and made into a jigsaw - it basically looks like a jigsaw of our local park but when you look closely you spot all the family & friends.
This caused many tears...!
WOW! Thank you, that has given me a slightly different but equally awesome idea
Cool
That's lovely idea! Go, OP - that's a winner.
My husband did something like this. He had booked a trip to Barcelona for us and left various clues which led me to items in the house where I found one letter. Once I found all 9 letters I had to rearrange them to make a word and the word was BARCELONA, was a lovely surprise!
