I Have a Cunning Plan! ...any finishing touches you can suggest?

Hi guys,

First post here, be amazed if I get responses.

I'm in a relationship with a great guy, we are both 21, but he's in the army and is based at the other end of the country. We see each other about every 4-6 weeks. I've planned a Christmas of surprises for him while he's home, the grand finale being a night in an apart-hotel (so more like a flat) because we dream of getting a place together, so I'm making it come true for a night! I'm going to decorate it for Christmas (mini tree, snowflakes etc), make him a meal, and breakfast in bed the next morning. I've also got a naughty knot to give myself as a present! Wink

Is there anything else I can do to put finishing touches/make it more special? Thanks in advance.

You could try calling the people who are giving you the apartment and explain that it is a very special night, and ask for a free upgrade first of all, you never know if you don't ask ;) (Lie and say you are proposing or something!)

Otherwise you could have a hot bath waiting for him when he gets there, with rose petals, bath bombs, bubbles or champagne.. whatever he likes.

Have an mp3 player set up with speakers with some of your favourite playlists on it (mellow playlist, christmas playlist, getting it ownnnn playlist!)

You could check the hotel or local bar if they could have some chilled bubbly waiting for you, if you would like to go out for a drink before settling in the for night.

Buy some killer undies... obviously ;)

Bit cheesy but some massage oil and extra bath towels so you can grease each other up :)

Get both of you a nice fresh set of overnight essentials, fluffy robes, slippers, favourite toiletries.

Buy some of his favourite drinks or snacks and put them in the fridge.

I might be flamed for this, but buy a chinese lantern so you can both make a wish and set it free into the night :)

In the morning if there is a paper or magazine he likes, you could order a copy.

What is a naughty knot by the way?

I had to google!

Don't have much to add but it sounds like a lovely plan! Made me smile reading it! Have fun!

Yeah I think we're all thinking along the same lines! I've made a Christmas playlist, and I got a great deal on the room because I picked the Sunday night before Christmas, so I already upgraded to the superior room (only the best for my man!) intending to stock up the fridge with his faves, including my famous banoffee pie (his favourite) and I may well give him a massage, I often do! (He's spoilt and he knows it!)

It's his birthday the week before Christmas so I'm doing him a cake decorated to look like his beloved car, a treasure hunt to find his little extra presents (he likes riddles) and best of all... Photos from the boudoir photo-shoot I had done for his eyes only! Oh yes, queen of the minxes over here! Wink

I hope he loves it, after the amazing day of surprises he did for my birthday in the summer, I had to go the extra mile! Can't wait to see him! Thanks for the ideas! Xx

Use a Chinese lantern and it may not just be you that gets flamed though eh? ; ) Seriously, cows die a lot as a result of those things!

Garlic, you should know by now, NEVER google dubious phrases on Mumsnet.

I can't help it, Annie, it's like a siren song ... "you know you want to, you know you must, you know you will ...." ... Wink
