Whisk Her Away

Are you both crazy busy with work and having a hard time finding time to connect?  Sounds familiar!  Here is a fun and thoughtful way to show her that you appreciate all she does for your crazy lives.

Pull up at her place of work (or home) in a limousine or a really fun car rental.  Arrange with her boss to have her leave early with you on a Friday, and head out to a weekend destination.  The drive will be fun, and a great way to leave the stress of work behind.  It doesn't have to be a 5-star hotel or a villa in wine country (although we wouldn't mind that!).  Just find a quiet place where you can focus on what is important... HER!!!

The key to this is the surprise and the effort that you put into the planning, not the cost of the trip.

Valentine's Day Gift Advice: Go the Extra Mile!

This Valentine's Day, go the extra mile when you get her a gift.  Let her see that you put some effort into it.  Remember, it's the thought that counts!  Here are some ideas:

• So you picked out that great leather passport cover for your special girl, but why stop there?  Why not include a pair of airline tickets for a weekend away?
• Or, maybe she loves to bake, and you want to get her that amazing blender.  Throw in a TasteBook, which I got for Christmas, and love!  Or, think bigger...why not attach a gift certificate to a local culinary class that specializes in her passion?
• Want to get her a comfy robe or pajamas?  Great!  Include a gift certificate from a spa to complete the thought.  Or pair the robe or pj's with a bath set.
• A bottle of her favorite wine would go great with a gift certificate to a local winery, or better yet, a getaway to Napa or Sonoma.
• A picture frame - boring right?  Put a romantic picture of you two in it, and see how she reacts.

Basically, we women want you guys to give a gift and then go the extra mile.  We want to be surprised.  Her face will light up when you go beyond the usual.  It doesn't have to be expensive, just thoughtful.  In fact, many of the ideas above and on our site are under $100.   

Don't feel overwhelmed.  That's why we're here.  Visit LubDub.com for more great gift ideas!

Pamper Her

Treating your girl to a spa getaway is a great way to pamper her.  It shows that you care how hard she works, and that you know she needs some rejuvenation.

SpaFinder is the best online resource for booking her a spa-related gift.  Chosen by Forbes.com and USA Today as the best website for spa travel, they have tools that help you book the perfect gift quickly.

Don’t just get her a gift certificate if you can avoid it.  That looks lazy.  Remember, it’s not just about the gift, its about the thought that goes into the gift.  With that in mind, here are four different ways to give this gift to give you some ideas.

1. Girlfriend Weekend – Book a package for her and her best friend, so they can go relax at the spa together.

2. On Vacation – If you already have a vacation planned, call ahead to the spa or check SpaFinder, and have a spa package waiting on her pillow when she gets into the room.

3. As a Vacation – Book a trip for the two of you, at one of these resorts that have spas, and set up some spa time for both of you.  You could use some treatment too, right?

4. No Kids for a Day – Find a local spa, and book a package there as a gift for your wife.  Then tell her to the take the day to go shopping, relax, and end it with her spa time.

We’ve given you some great ideas, but for even more mileage, present the gift it to her as a package.  Maybe it’s in a “pamper her” basket with some bath products or a bathrobe, in addition to the spa certificate.  A few extra dollars go a long ways to make her feel special.
