I am in the military and am currently stationed overseas, I want to do something unusual and romantic that will make my wife feel special, but it is hard to do when I am so far away. I have sent cards for no reason and a box a hersheys kisses (one for each day that I am away) but I want to do something different, something that will "really" make her feel special, but coming up with something to do is alot harder then it sounds on paper. Help?

Either by video showing you and your friends introducing everyone to her and just talking to her with them in the background or recording tape talking about what you're doing and how you're feeling. This is personal and you both can do it together bringing you close together while you're both so far apart. When you come home it will be like you weren't really gone. Thank you for protecting us!

My husband is also military and was in Iraq for a year. We have been married for 10 years and it is also very hard for him to do things for me. From my point of view though, I can tell you that every little thing you do, wether it is the cards or the hersheys kisses.. they will all get the same points. Most women, I can't say all, but most of us love the little things as much as the big ones. Telling her is also important, the simple words of telling her that she means the world to you says alot. If you want to do something truly special, I don't think any of us will be able to tell you what that one special thing is, it has to be something personal. Is there some 'thing' or some 'place' she has always wanted or wanted to experience? For instance, if she likes to pamper herself, a spa day gift certificate would be a nice gift.. since your not there to pamper her. Does she like to read? You could tape yourself reading her a book and she can listen to it before bed each night.. You love her, and you know her best, I'm sure you'll come up with something fantastic.. Good luck.

Make a dream list for her!! Thats little pieces of paper w/dreams,wishes,things she mite want/need! Handwrie these, and cut them into strips. Put them in a jar/box, or what ever you think good. And then she can pull from the jar any time she wants to , and YOU WILL be responsible to take care of these for her!!! They can be doing the dishes to a nite out on the town w/you!! But the benefits are all yours!!!

Send her flowers. You can do that even from one side of the world to the other. Tell the florist what you want the card to read (she'll write it for you) and tell her what flowers your wife likes. All you need is the delivery address and a credit card. Have the florist send an order confirmation # and invoice to your e-mail account.

You sound like a romantic. I would imagine she'd enjoy hearing how special she is in your own words. Keep writing her & letting her know she's # 1. Tell her all the things a woman needs to hear (ie. beautiful, pretty,
caring, special, etc.) Try writing a poem.

wow, try thingsremembered.com there are a lot of really cool ideas there that you can have something special engraved on. a bracelet or necklace, a special pair of sweats, i know that sounds crazy, but while you guys are deployed, for us girls over here, somethings close to our hearts or something to snuggle up in at night when we go to bed that is a reminder of our love with you is so important! also, if you can make a cd of songs that remind you of her, or a blanket throw, you can find them on line, terrys village makes some and they are online, that have like your names and anniversary, that she can wrap up in while reading a book or watching TV, those are the kind of things i have gotten or would love to get from Ken while he is over there. Good luck and thanks for your service! Godspeed!

a guy i understand as quickly as sent his spouse and a pair of of her ultimate acquaintances to an incredible hotel for a night. i think of that they had spa clinical care and issues like that. i presumed that replaced into somewhat sturdy theory. you additionally could make the preparations for her, and elegance her!

My husband asks me what I'd like.
He never goes wrong.....and it makes me feel special that he would ask me what would make me happy.
Of course he does the little things like flowers, candy, dates, surprise get-aways, etc.
After 32 years I'm still crazy about him.
