Any other ideas ??

Probably most of you Ladies may not know me or what has happened to me in the past few weeks. To make a very long story short, i have had to have 2surgeries in the past month to repair a botched surgery from November. My wife has had to be care taker, changing dressings at home, be my hands as i have been using crutches. She has had to do EVERYTHING for me. Plus she also works full time, and this is wearing her out.
What i would like to do once i am able to take care of myself. Is to treat her to a special day of her own. I would like to send her to a day spa, where she can get a massage, get her hair done, a pedicure and finger nails done, facials, you name it. Have her go and get a outfit of her choice then take her out to dinner.
If you were in her place, would there be anything else you can think of that she might like. I want this to be very special as she means the world to me, and i want to show her that i really appreciated all the work she has done.
Thanks
Carla

My perfect day would be this: -

Day at the spa, pampered for hours.
New dress and shoes, oh and matching purse.
Picked up in a limo and taken to a really nice restaurant.
Then whisked off for a late night show at the theatre ;)

I love all your ideas you sweetie you, and I would only add one or two more things. A nice card with your lovely sentiments hand written inside. I treasure any love letters or notes from DH. :happy: It would be something she could look at again and again to remember your thoughtfulness. Oh and a picture of the two of you together taken the night you take her out.

Call her best friend ~ and arrange it like you were working for the CIA. If you can ~ arrange it with her boss ~ and co-workers, so that she has flowers delivered with a card ~ timing is essential here ~ at work ~ minutes before her best friend shows up with the limo driver. From there they go to a spa to get a massage, her hair dwon, a pedicure, and finger nails and facialsm ad then go shopping for that outfit. Set it up for her and the GF to have a light lunch. After she's all "dolled up" toward the evening, in you step ~ out the GF steps ~ and take her to dinner as you stated!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the GF is setting the scene. Have her spruce the place up with a trail of rose petals leading from the door, to the bathroom. In the bathroom ~ have as many lighted candles as you can, and a hot luxurious bath with the most expensive bath oils/salts of her favorite expensive perfume, with her favorite relaxing romantic or mood music playing. While she's in the bath ~ break out a brand new terry cloth bath robe and heat it up ~ if you don't have a towel warmer, set the oven on about 250 F, and warm her some towels and the bathrobe on the oven door. When she's ready to get out of the tub, lead her to bedroom, and give her a full body massage with her favorite perfume lotion, (be sure to warm your hands with it first),..................I'll let you take over from there.

Timing is essential. You want the kids if any spending the night with someone else ~ you want to the GF there so she'll have another woman to get / be jealous ~ and talk about it and brag about it to all her other GF's. (The GF leaves a minute or two before you and her arrive home ~ by the way ~LOL!)

Thanks for the other ideas Ladies. She was going to get the flowers, hadn't thought about a limo. Thinking of taking her out of town for this too. She has never been to San Fransico. I want this to be very special.

Hi Carla,

It is so nice that you appreciate all that your wife is doing for you. You are a very thoughtful and caring gal!

I think it is important to find out what SHE would like to do. I'm in the same camp with dancinginthedark and appreciating a personal note from my husband. If it were me, I would like to spend the whole day with him. The pampering just wouldn't do it for me. I guess it seems a little too materialistic -- but that's me. I would love to go to a really nice restaurant (maybe something out in the country) and have an elegant quiet dinner with him. I would love to receive a small bouquet of flowers. I would love to walk in the park with him. One of our favorite places is Williamsburg, Virginia -- especially when we can have the place to ourselves in early December. I'm just giving you a few different ideas.

Hope that you make a full and complete recovery and have a wonderful day with your loving wife!

Hugs to both of you, :hugs:
