She has no hobbies, but she enjoys cooking, loves music and literature, and enjoys spending her days exploring
A meal at a restaurant you’d never go to, for him and her 200, says one of the best Indians in the country And a great, sloppy blowjob Men are easily happy
I mean, think about what he wears every day and improve it I bought my husband some highquality tees from Highr, and he’s happier than ever He used to wear ugly graphic tees at home, and now he feels more comfortable in adult tees, haha

How about a day of discovery, just for him or to relax together I took my husband to a spa before our wedding because he’s a hard worker and deserved some time away He enjoyed it so much that he booked us a spot right after the wedding You can find everything online pottery classes, cooking classes, hot air balloon rides, car racing Or, as someone suggested, concert tickets It’s always a hit I’m sure your husband would be thrilled to spend some time with you after everything you’ve been through Can your kids entertain themselves, or would someone be willing to spend time with them while you and your husband do something fun
Maybe tickets to a 90s band or event
Great ideas Could you get vouchers for a local experience I don’t know where you live, but if there are nature parks nearby, why not an experience there My dad organized a birdofprey day last year, and he loved it Other ideas, in line with my husband’s opinion a spa afternoon, a cooking class, a rum workshop I think they’re becoming more and more popular we also did a gin workshop, which was great, or a cocktail class A bushcraft experience, concert tickets, the Folio Society, beautiful prints from a classic book collection so you can give him a really good copy of one of his favorite books And also Hi to your sonI have Tourette’s too I hope he’s okay my teens were a bit difficult because of it, but life is so much better
Are there any fun Indian cooking classes you might enjoy given your love of Indian cooking and food
If your husband listens to podcasts and has a favorite, many offer subscriptions with extra episodes and early access to concerts, etc My husband and I listen to the podcast “The Rest Is Entertainment” by Richard Osman and Marina Hyde, which we love They recently started offering subscriptions with monthly or annual payments this is my husband’s gift to himself this year
How about dinner for two at an elegant Indian restaurant with someone to look after the kids and dogs for the evening There are several Michelinstarred restaurants nearby Most are in New York, but why not pay for the train tickets and make a nice day of it There’s also a Michelinstarred restaurant in Birmingham, and Atul Kochar has restaurants in Marlow and Tunbridge Wells You could save 200, especially if you also cover travel costs Again, it depends on the destination, but when my wife and I are in New York, we like to go to Dishoom It’s not too expensive, but it’s really delicious and different from your typical Indian restaurant The Dishoom cookbook and spice kit would make a great gift for a foodie
Go back to the beginning, to your first meeting Buy a souvenir from that encounter Even if you met by chance at Tesco, a bag full of items from the aisle where you met will suffice There’s no meeting place so mundane that you can’t find a souvenir
