Do you ever get DH "I'm thinking of you" gifts?

lunabeam · March 2010

Example: DH buys me a lotto scratcher whenever he goes to a convenience store. It's a fun little surprise every now and then that doesn't cost much, but lets me know he's thinking about me.

He never spends money on himself for "fun" things. I want to find something that I can get for him periodically...something small that he'd enjoy, but something that is NOT sweets/candy.

I'm stumped! Any ideas?

a magazine?

(John would love the occasional copy of the New Yorker or Atlantic Monthly or the Economist, for example)

a nice beer or bottle of wine.

mcunningham · March 2010

dh loves wine, so sometimes i will stop by the store on the way home and pick him up a nice bottle. it always brightens his day

or sometimes i surprise him by picking up his favorite take out (he goes ga-ga for Chipotle and sandwiches.. mostly b/c I rarely want them)

I<3MYHUSBAND · March 2010

My Dh would choose sweets Sometimes I send cards to the house since he gets the mail more than me to let him know he is thought of.

Mike is really into beer so I stop by his favorite beer store and buy him a bottle of something I know he loves or one he's never tried before.

i dont do this nearly often enough.?

danandkelly · March 2010

I'll pick him up things here and there, usually when I'm wandering around target. I used to buy him magazines, but now I get him something he likes that I don't, so cookies or sweets. Or sometimes special beer.

I give DH cards often to show I am thinking about him, sometimes I personalize it with a note or even a printout of a picture from something fun we've done recently.

I also like to pick up random things for him, like his fave magazine or book or even favorite snack from the grocery store/Target

I like sneaking notes into his shirt pockets. I haven't done it in a while. I should start that up again. You just have to remember to check the shirt pockets for notes before throwing things in the laundry.

I do, but its usually food related. Reeces peanut butter cups or something from starbucks. Or trail mix.

That's brilliant!

I don't it too often - but, when I do it is a ton of fun. I love doing stuff like this.

The last time I did it... and actually spent a lot of money. I bought him the new Bon Jovi CD ( he has always been a fan) along w/ concert tickets. It was a great surprise. Typically though, I stick w/ a new magazine, shirt, shoes types of things... The Bon Jovi thing was a bit more expensive than I tend to do....

StefandTodd · March 2010

Almost every time I grocery shop, I'll come home with some type of candy or a drink or chips or something like that that I know he'll like. My favorite Raley's makes it easy with a specialty snacks (special types of chocolate, nuts, etc) right at the checkout. He loves sweets, so he's easy for little things like that.

greekwife05 · March 2010

Yes. I get him small things that make me think of him when I see them. He loves crazy socks and Target has had some good ones lately. He also loves his Mini like no other car so when I see anything Mini related I get it for him. I also get him 99 cent cards all the time to just tell him I love him or how thank full I am for him and his support.

we-love-to-try · March 2010

I tend to get DH a larger bottle of his fav beer (Duvel). Or I buy chocolate milk (I don't like it, he loves it). Of course, it's not a regular thing, but he likes it.

I just saw a 'whiskey chocolate' pairing box of chocolates (again, this is sweets) and I'm thinking of picking that up for him since he gave up beer for lent.

SportyMrs.23 · March 2010

Occasionally...usually it is something really small...like a pack of m&ms or something like that.

dblhappiness · March 2010

I love doing this...again like others don't do it often enough. Most times it's a favorite treat: candy or ice cream.

I've picked up a magazine for him or stuck in a new photo I've taken of the boys into a card they've colored.

kfishie · March 2010

Yes. I bring home goodies from many of the meetings I attend (sweet rolls, cookies, muffins, etc) just for him (I don't eat the goodies at the meetings, so I bring them home to him instead of throwing them away....he loves the goodies). I also hide little notes and pictures in his lunch box every so often.

DH loves beer, especially IPAs, so I will get him a six pack or a large bottle when I am at the market/Bevmo. I also get him ties when I am at a Ross/TJ Maxx, etc. And sometimes I will download and burn CDs if I hear a new one by an artist he likes came out. I write notes when I make him lunch but I haven't done that in a while.
