I'm in the military and been away from my wife for a while. I return to my homestation this Sat. If your husband, bf etc. was away, other than the gift of seeing him, would kind of gift would you like to get from him when he returns, to really show his love for you. I'm really bad at gifts and lack on the creativity side, but would like to show my wife how much she means to me. Any suggestion would be helpful, no matter how simple or complex...I just need ideas from a woman's perspective. Thanks!

I really don't think she'll need or expect a gift. But if you feel it's necessary to give her one I would suggest just simple red roses. There is no gift that is more symbolic of love.

Awww... I don't know where you are stationed but my dad was in the military and I would have to say my mom and myself's favorite present was the cartouche's he brought us (necklace with our name in Egyptian, they come in other languages too). I know this sounds a little corny but my father bought his and my mother's cartouches together (both are half of a heart) with each other's name in Egyptian. It is the one piece of jewelry (other than their wedding rings) that never leaves their side.
Also, we loved getting items from the culture. So think of anything that is native to that place or handmade by the people there.
Plus I agree that one of the best gifts you can give her is your time. Time alone with just you, whether y'all are outdoorsy or the fancy hotel type. If you could give her a week with you and maybe some fun entertainment I'm sure she would adore that.
Also I want to say that I appreciate everything that you are doing for this company. Know that if your wife (and kids if you have any) might not always be happy about the job you do and where it takes you, they will always respect you and will come to realize how great of a person their husband/father is. I'm 22 years old now and my father is retired. I used to despise how much he moved and how he was always on a TDY but now I am full of respect for him and I'm so proud to have him as my father.
Good Luck with everything Hon!

Flowers are nice but they die, so get a potted plant of some sort she can take care of while you are away. That way she can see it and think of you. A nice date, dinner at a resturant or if the weather is nice you could try a picnic in the park. Or if you can cook, make a candlelit dinner for her, followed by a nice massage. Jewelry is more of an anniversary, christmas, birthday present so save that idea for later. Hug her alot and tell her you love her and missed her so she feels yummy. Then more than likely you will engage in some marital affairs....have fun!

Greet her with some roses, and take her out for a nice dinner and spend quality time with her. Gifts are nice, but what she has been missing is YOU. Her gift should be YOU-alone time with you. Make time to be with her, showering her with love, and show her how much YOU have missed HER.
I know if my husband was gone for a long period of time, I dont want anything but him in my arms when he comes back. Sleeping in each other's arms, cuddling, kissing, all of that. There is no gift he could give me that would replace that.

Welcome home on Sat. My husband is Army and when he was away he didn't need to bring me a gift to show love. All I needed was him to come home. If anything, I would say she should be the one giving you the gift but being that you want to give her a gift, get her a tennis bracelet or some other jewelry. If you can't do jewelry, then have a romantic get a way planned. can even be in your home town but in a hotel.

Well, I would like it if you picked me up something that shows the culture of where you have been. But other than that, make sure you come home with flowers to give her the moment you see her.
I think the most important gift you will give her is her seeing you safe and in her arms, so don't stress so much about it.
Remember, when you are out there stay safe.

Is there anything that she collects that you could get from the area where you have been. Something like bells, plates, or vases that have something to do with the culture of that place. Or maybe a teddy bear for her to hold when your away. (Maybe wearing a uniform.) Something that would remind her of you. Or maybe a collection of pictures that would be special to the both of you. Like a picture of the places you sat when you wrote to her, or the phone booths that you called her from, with the scenery in the background that shows where you were. You may need to save the pictures for next time when you had time to get up a collection. Good Luck and thank you for what you do for us all.

Well, I personally love jewelry. I would love to get a pair of diamond stud earrings from my boyfriend or a pretty necklace. I also love really good chocolate, that would be nice. Sexy lingerie is awesome too. Since I also have a tender heart and like helping others, I would be especially touched if my boyfriend gave to some charity or cause I believe in and dedicated the gift to me.

You are such a sweetheart I would love to have a husband like you! I bet that for her just having you and seeing you is the perfect gift, but if you want to be a little more material ask yourself what does she like maybe a romantic night. Try to replay the first time that you met her and act like a total stranger lure her to a hotel and make love to her like its the end of the world! That would be the perfect gift!

u can start with her favorite type of Flowers if u don't know.
WHITE roses White stands for Purity/clean. some Godiva choco. or her favorite, if she's fat forget the choco.
take her out on a vacation maybe a 1 or 2 day cruise. whatever u can afford. quality time alone but not necessarily getting it on. Romance her first then...
last but not least look at her in the EYES and tell her how much u truly love her and adore her inner beauty. Love her.
