Hi moms,

You have never let me down in the past so I thought I would ask for some ideas. My husband works A Lot and I want to send something to him at work to let him know I am thinking of him. Do you have any ideas? I want to surprise him ;)

Thanks,
J.

What can I do next?

I suggest making the tried and true "Candy-bar Poster," and then put it in his car late at night, to find the next morning when he gets into his car.
Use sentences like, you are a "sweet-heart", sorry I am such an "air-head" sometimes. You are worth a "1000 grand" and are such a "big-hunk" I am "extra" lucky to be married to you. Put the candy in the appropriate places. Good luck

I randomly slip a card into my hubby's packed lunch. Also most florists (I deliver for several) will deliver nearly anything you want to send through them- regardless of where you buy it from. If you want to send flowers, check with several florists directly, as prices vary greatly from one to another-sometimes as much as 2-3 times the price between them. Ordering through an online service can add $10-$15 just for using their services.

I have to second some of the other posts! Occasionally I will "dress up" (or down *wink wink*) and take a "dirty" picture and send it via txt...granted I make sure he deletes it when he gets home...or will make sexual inuindos to him on his phone...lots of fun to flirt back and forth for a bit in the middle of the day!

Anyway, if you are close enough to where he works, occasionally packing a lunch and the kiddo up and visiting him at work during a lunch break or a general break is something I love doing for my hubby and my son loves seeing daddy in the middle of the day! Puts a smile on both their faces!

I will also occasionally bring something in to the office (like brownies or snow cones or breakfast burritos) so I have an excuse to see my hubby, but also make everyone elses day who has to work long hours too! Gives them all a good excuse for an impromptu break!

You are a great wife for wanting to surprise your hubby this way! Makes him know how much you appreciate what he does for you working long hours!

my husband would rather have a random txt (sometimes sweet sometimes sexy) because they are unexpected.

Put a note in his lunch or something that he takes with him for him to find during the day. Something personal like that really says "I'm thinking of you" - and doesn't cost much :)

My husband works around the clock, too, and I usually try to get him something that I know he loves every time I go out. Sometimes it's something big, sometimes it's little. Sometimes I'll be out and about with the kids and I'll pick up some dinner for him and take it to him at work. He is the type that recognizes that type of gesture. We have food allergies at our house, so we don't have any dairy, peanut, or egg products or anything can contains them at all. So on Father's day, I made him a special gift basket with all of his favorite things that he "can't" have. Like his favorite bottled (in glass) soda, a bottle of V8 smoothie colada, Mother's circus animal cookies, a DVD set of one of his favorite shows, or a favorite movie, Strawberry cheesecake newtons, his favorite gum, his favorite candy bar (reeses cups), movie passes, a gift certificate to his favorite restaurant (even if it's just 5 or 10 dollars, it's at least enough for a dessert)... kind of like stuffing a stocking. It was really fun and he absolutely loved it! He's not usually a very expressive person, but he told everyone about it. He thought it was the coolest thing and I was hoping that it wasn't a dumb idea. You could make your own basket and pay a kid or a delivery service to take it to him at work.

You could also plan a fun date and surprise him by taking him to his favorite place (whatever that may be) and send him little clues every day for the week. If it's taking him to the movies, you could send him a package of popcorn, or a candy bar, or a commercial (coca cola/pepsi--you could probably pick one up at a gas station) paper cup with a love note written in it, lol. Maybe you could do a letter a day to spell it out, I don't know, I'm totally thinking off the top of my head and realizing I need to do something like this myself.

Good luck!

I was getting head-shots done and the photographer had me hold up a piece of paper with my name on it. He took the picture before I was really ready but my husband saw that photo and loved it; he thought my face was sexy. So I got the photo and photo-shopped the piece of paper to say something like "I'm yours for the taking" and gave that to my husband. He loved it. I also made sure that we had some time to be alone together later.
You could make your husband a desk calendar with photos of you and your little girl and sweet messages about why he's an awesome dad, an awesome husband, how sexy you think he is and wonderful etc, etc. Guys need to be complimented on their physical appearance too! Include some quotes he might think are funny or that he might like and some encouraging ones.
You know your husband and you know if he would appreciate something like that or if he would rather have something like food with a note (something sexy is usually the best).
or his favorite candy or a gift certificate for something he likes to do.
I made a box with my husbands favorite candy in it, but mixed the candy with love notes. He liked that.
Random texts and emails are always good.
good luck and have fun surprising your husband.

Deborah....that is a good one! i am sure your husband would appreciate that! :)

as far as sending something to work...... maybe those cookie baskets or candy baskets. i think any kind of food or something that can be eaten or used (as opposed to flowers/balloons or something cheesy like that - men dont seem to appreciate things like that. they'd rather have something to eat! haha).

Before you send him something at work, I suggest doing what I have done in the past for my husband. When you leave for work, leave him notes around the house. Under the toliet seat, on his chair, in the fridge, etc. I used post-it notes. Sometimes I would write 1-2 and other times I'd go overboard!! You could also get him something and leave it at home for him to open.

If you are insistent on sending him something at work, I'd call and order pizza or food and have it sent there. Or some kind of ice cream or dessert delivery. I'm not sure he would like flowers being delivered? (but then again I don't know him so I'm not sure).

My husband works the opposite schedule of me so I write him post-it notes, make dinner and leave him a note, will buy and leave a new CD or something like that on the counter for him...etc.
