I’ve been a notoriously bad gift giver over the years (not far from skittles) and I’d like to do better this year. I’m not looking for jewelry or other cliched, commercial “I love you” products, but just a handful of nods to her being a great wife and mother. She works and we have young kids – I’m thinking of something to take her/us away from the weekly grind (e.g., tickets to a show, spa day for her, etc.), but I’d also like something tangible. And I’d like to work in at least one suggestive, sexy gift to make her blush while opening it.

Any great ideas to share?

edit: Update ---- Here's what I'm going with: arranged mini-ski vacation for February, made reservations and arranged for inlaws to watch kids. It's been 7 years since we've been skiing, but used to go all the time (sometimes we never got out of bed to get to the slopes). Scheduled it during ovulation time - but will restrain from making this a covert contract, should be great relaxing weekend regardless. I also got her a few of her favorites (chocolates, gift card to fav store, dick in the box joke gift) so she has something under the tree.
