    Can you cook, lite candles, play soft music, do the dishes? Need a recipe?

    I dunno about the dishes man...that's asking a lot

    Sure, got a good recipe?

    I tried the razor thing, and after much thought, I decided it wasn't in either of our best interests (though a DE may be in her future).

    I've always believed that actions speak louder than gifts, a thoughtful day doing what she wants (or something you've both wanted to do) might be a good starting point.

    The natural Japanese hone from OLD_SCHOOL that yo...err...I mean she always wanted!! Some flowers and chocolates with a nice card would be a nice addition to the hone, and quite possibly help to avoid the trip to the emergency room!

    +1 on this.

    My wife usually has given me a lot of hints throughout the year, and sometimes I remember.
    But doing something that she wants (like go shopping for perfume, or whatever) and then cooking something she really likes is a good idea.

    Or take her on a weekend to someplace that she always wanted to go to or something. The main thing is that it's about her and what she would like.

    Hi there,
    These are quite nice, and actually do work as advertised. I've given a few for gifts and both recipients have enjoyed this item. Prices start at around $40, and go up from there.
    Hope that helps,
