Anniversary - While Away - What Should I Do?

[klstaz]

Help!! I need ideas.

This is my first time going to conference and my hubby is being very supportive...but even though he isn't saying it I can tell he is a little upset/bummed because I will be gone for our anniversary. I am trying to think of something special that I can do for him while I am gone. I want to leave him something to open on our anniversary that shows him I really appreciate him and all he has done to help me with my buisness. Any ideas would help.

Thanks!

Wow- I will have to think on that one, but if it helps, my DH missed every major holiday, birthday and anniversary for the first 3+ years we were married because he traveled so much with the Air Force.

Good thing we got married on Leap Day!

I would mail him a card every day you are gone, and/or hide cards and notes throughout the house telling him you love him and are thinking of him.

Plan a special night before you go and celebrate it then... one year I did that for DH and we ate picnic style on the floor- it was memorable.

Call him the morning of and sing "happy anniversary" to him...

promise him a massage when you get back?

I'll let you know if any other ideas pop up.

Notes in areas that he frequents regularly - attached to the shaving cream - in his underwear draw - in the refridgerator attached to the milk - send a letter in the mail the day you leave - have a friend deliver his fav dinner you cook for you - gift certificate for a night out when you come home - call his BFF and arrange a night out with the boys....... OH I could go on and on - tickets to a ball game on the night you are out - buy a nice undergarment and promise a "present" when you return.....

Ya think I do stuff occasionally????:blushing:

I mailed DH a little something slinky and promised I'd wear it when he got home. Note to self- mail it closer to the day they get back, not right when they leave...then they just suffer for days on end!

I was trying to keep it PG- since I have a few other fun ideas that are more "marital" if ya know what I mean! LOL

FIVE's rule!

[PamperedDor]

End of highjack - hmm what was the thread about??? LOL!

 

[Kitchen Diva]

What she could do for her DH since she's missing their anniversary.

How about a bubble bath? Warm oil massage?

"I mailed DH a little something slinky and promised I'd wear it when he got home"

I love that idea....that is great and he would be in shock and very surprised!! Thanks for the great ideas. If you think of anything else that would be great.

one time I served DH supper in the nude. We had corndogs and macaroni and cheese- it was back when we were poor and just married.
And, well I'll let you figure out what was for dessert.

I'd mail DH something now to spice up the marriage, but it would take up a box not an envelope! LOL

If I did that, DH wouldn't be able to make it through dinner!

You are too funny!!!

What about arranging dinner ressies when you come home as well -

Little notes go a long way - under his pillow, at work,

I made sure that I called first in the morning (well - to check on the kids as well ) and last at night - text between workshops,

How about a bottle of champagne, some chocolates and nice nighty - bring it home (well what you can) from conference and play your wedding song...

Oh, from all the laughter?


Sorry- you walked RIGHT into that one-I had to...it's a 5 thing baby

(you know I love you!)

Our anniversary was the day after conference ended last year, so hubby came with! Would he be willing to go? Don't know if this has been asked - I didn't read through all of the posts, but we did this last year and although we can't attend NC this year, he can't wait to go next year! He loved it!

okay...sounds good!

something from chicago--garret popcorn==to be delivered when you are gone--

 

[Kitchen2u]

With the cards..send him on a scavenger hunt for the next card!

 

[PamperChefCarol]

Nothing says love like a flat screen TV!!! My husband would be in pig heaven if I left and one of those was delivered!!! He probably wouldn't even notice I was gone.

Here's an idea, how about this year you celebrate on July X (pick a date)? Leave him a note saying you've arrange for an anniversary celebration on the date. Turn it into a mystery date sort of thing. Plan something that you know he would like and off you go. Don't get all wrapped up on missing the "actual" date, every day can be your anniversary. Have fun.

I would call someplace in Chicago ahead of time, and have something "Chicago" style delivered to him on your anniversary....

Have you ever sent him flowers? Most men have never received flowers -- just one more way to let him know you are thinking of him.

DH and I leave notes for each other (under the pillow, in the cabinet where the coffee is, tucked all over in a suitcase). It's a nice touch.

I sent DH flowers once. My advice is never send flowers to your DH at work when he works for the Air Force and there are nothing but macho manly men in the office who will tease your poor DH for weeks on end.

They left him chocolates on his desk the next day, and kept calling him snookums... I learned my lesson. If DH is in the military- skip the flowers! LOL!!

 

[chefann]

I sent my DH flowers once when we were dating. He didn't know he was supposed to put water in them (they were delivered in a small container in florist foam). They dried perfectly and he still had them at the end of the semester. I can't believe that none of the roommates thought to add water, either.

 

[katie0128]

Let me get this straight... you're SURPRISED that a group of college guys didn't think to put the flowers in water??? What does that surprise you??? Especially since your DH is the one that is trying to teach your bird to make fart sounds!

 

[chefann]

They were all supposedly very bright guys. But, yeah - my fault for thinking college guys (at a school that was 90% male) would know.

Book smarts does not equate to common sense!
