Secret present for Valentines Day

Hi, my partner and I will be apart on Valentines Day. Any ideas of an anonymous present I can send him for about £100, in the UK? I Don't want there to be a receipt inside, or an inkling of from whom it came.

  1. if he's your partner, surely he'll know it's from you anyway. If he doesnt knownita from you, then you have a problem!

  2. people online will only be able to advise you on generic gifts. Surely you know him, what he's into and what sort of things he'd like?

You don’t want him to know that a gift to the value of £100 came from his partner on Valentine’s Day?

Are you the OW?

@TheGrandfatherClockWasTooTall - yes, of course he'll know it's from me, but I don't want it to explicitly say that. I think a solution would be to have it posted to me then repacked.

His hobby is sailing, but I was hoping to be a bit more quirky than getting some nautical stuff.

And if I bought a sex toy, he'd no longer be my partner Grin

Does he not like sex toys?

Eh

My DH is away and I've sent him a care package with valentines sweets, favourite snacks etc, I've not sent it secretly because that would be pointless and well moronic and I didn't spend that much as it would be money down the drain for a present to just mark the day, looking forward to going out for a meal when he's back and things are open.

Something from F & M. You could just complete the gift card as ?

Do you not have sex? Confused

bornonvalentines · 31/01/2021 16:57

@user86386427 - that's the sort of idea I mean. My boyfriend is in the forces, so little cheer ups and are ideal.

@Flowerythoughts You are very much on our wavelength. I actually bought him a F and M gift for Christmas!

@bornonvalentines mine too, he's deployed. So I just did a shoe box but gave it a bit of a Valentine's theme he will cringe at the cheesiness of it but I enjoyed doing :) I bought some bits from ebay like a cone of Valentine sweets, personalised chocolate lolly pops (in my defence at the cheesiness it's from our kids too 😂)

yes, of course he'll know it's from me, but I don't want it to explicitly say that

Ah, ok. Your comment that you didnt want him to have an inkling it was from you was confusing. That suggests he would have no idea it was from you.

He'll obviously know it's from you but you want there to be an element of 'romance' about it.

I get it now. That's a nice idea.

If you have young children could they design some artwork, words etc to daddy, upload it and then have it printed on a t shirt for him.

Lots of companies doing this online.
