To ask for emergency Valentine's ideas!

Help!
DH has never bothered much with Valentine's, nor have I, so mutually unromantic.
He has just Facetimed me from a dress shop to ask if I like a dress he is about to buy me as a gift.
AIBU to ask for ideas of things I can do/buy bearing in mind I am still at work and have to collect kids from school in barely in hour?

Cook dinner in just an apron and then 'afters'. Free and little prep required.

resists temptation to post 'blowjob'

book a sitter for the weekend, take him out, have fun together, wear new dress this weekend, have wild sex when you get home because you've had such a lovely time together.

Can you get to an M&S or Waitrose and buy their £20 deal, it's usually very good!
You could buy a massage or treatment online and print it off, or a voucher for dinner somewhere he likes?

I can just about get to Waitrose. Frantically trying to get some last minute documents to upload before I log off for the day (why do servers always run slow when you're in a hurry...)

Joined the hordes of wide eyed desperate looking men only to find they had sold out of their £20 meal deals!

Guess it'll have to be the blowjob then, although he only had his annual birthday treat last week

I agree - a nice dinner is perfect! Do something quick for the kids and have a lovely treat and a glass of wine or prosecco later.

We usually get the M&S meal deal but this year we had some really nice wine already and I am watching my weight so I bought fillet steaks and will do with mash and roast veg and peppercorn sauce, glass of red and we have a very nice box of chocs unopened from my b'day last week so DIY meal deal!

WritingHome · 14/02/2017 17:43

Just buy steaks or sea bass etc - whatever is a treat for you both and a dessert / bottle of wine!

You can print off Virgin experience or Not on the High Street experience type things... if you need a gift gift

livingthegoodlife · 14/02/2017 17:48

Ditto the waitrose meal deal idea

Or pick up a cake/special dessert?

Men tend to be happy with sex - maybe something you don't usually do Grin

Sorry that's terribly sexist but generally true.

Get to an offie for a bottle of his favourite?

Plus a tube of love hearts from the closest newsagents.
