Gift Ideas

[UConnFan]

I'm sorry if this is a super repetitive question, but I was wondering if you all have any ideas for Valentine's day gifts. My fiance is impossible to shop for! He doesn't want anything. If I had a lot to spend, I could come up with something, but that's not an option. We're getting married May 18th and going to Disney for our Disneymoon. It could be Disney related, or something else. Thank you

Make some chocolate covered strawberries.

Unless he has chocolate or strawberry allergies, they usually are a big hit.

Target has Disney tins and boxes of candy and popcorn. They are really cute. Mickey and Minnie.

Hmmm ... if he doesn't want anything why would you buy him something?

lol...you could always go with something made or a few items bundled together.

If you don't have a lot to spend, what about baking him something, or writing a letter telling him the reasons you love him? What about a romantic night in Gifts don't need to be purchased

My husband and I don't do a whole lot in terms of gifts for V-day, winter holidays or our anniversary. We'd rather go out for a nice meal without the kids or do/get something for the house. I got him a Valentine's card and a small box of candy this year. He will probably be last minute and pick up flowers for me at the supermarket on the way home from work (which I like, we never have fresh flowers in the house).

I think you can't go wrong with a nice card and a heart shaped box of chocolates.

Other ideas could be a dvd of one of his favorite movies, or some silk boxers (with or without hearts on them ).

I agree. Maybe he would like for you to make him his favorite meal.

I don't care to get gifts for Valentines, Anniversaries or Birthdays. I like for them to be recognized, but I don't want or need the "stuff". I'd rather the money be saved.

Your fiance may be the same way. A nice Valentine's gift might be something special for the wedding or a hand made certificate for a nice meal during your honeymoon.

That is so easy! Dinner, candles, wine (or whatever you two drink), and some lace . A romantic card would be nice too .

If you are comfortable in lace..... buy something he would like and wear it while you make dinner. The dinner can be very, very simple. He won't remember it.

If his love language is gifts (there is a book about love languages) then he is the type that some little special gift will mean the most to him: write him a love letter, sit down and tell him the 10 things you love about him, make up a basket of his favorite junk foods, buy the expensive wine/beer.... that you usually don't buy.....

my husband is very hard to gift so i am whisking him away for a night at a lovely bed and breakfast in Newport RI--it's impossible NOT to be romantic in front of a fireplace and in a two person jacuzzi with lots of bubbles. i will be packing a picnic so we don't have to 'lose' any of our jacuzzi time. candles are forbidden in the room so i will be taking some flameless candles for ambience. the b&b is awesome but you can have the same experience at home. sharing a bubble bath is quite lovely.

i will also be baking him a tin of chocolate chip cookies and leaving them in his car on VDay morning along with a card.
