MM went on a business trip and I sent him flowers to his hotel. I've bought him underwear, and I've surprised him by being in the city he works in and calling him for a visit.

It's hard to be creative in an EMA but you can wear lingerie, light candles, buy him cards even if he has to throw them away, The first time I bought MM a card, i wrote a nice long note in it.. he said his W never writes anything in the cards she gives him, so I suppose that was thoughtful.. so he thought anyway.

I'm in a LD EMA so doing something romantic isn't always possibly - beyond the romantic words we write to each other. But I posted on the board about a week or so ago about MM saying he'd love a certain item of my clothing t ohave when he called me when he was next away on business. After some thought, I decided to send them to him at the hotel he was going to be staying at - but didn't tell him because I wanted it to be a surprise. But rather than just the requested item, I decided to do up whole surprise package. I included chocolates because their an aphrodisiac, aroma therapy tea light candles to relax him, and a feather (don't ask!) along with the main item oin satin and a hand written letter. All done in coordinating colours contained in a shiny red box lined with tissue paper with red and gold hearts on it. The whole package looked amazing! It took me days of running around to different shopping malls to get just the right things, in just the right colours, so that it was 'just right'. He could eat the chocolates, burn the candles but I knew he'd have to dispose of the rest before he went home. And that was ok! I just wanted him to have the joy of receiving it and the pleasure it gave him while we talked on the phone.

I also sent a card, which I'd asked the hotel to hand to him when he checked out. In the card was half of a St. Christopher medallion, which I've since childhood, which I had cut in half. I asked him if he'd keep it, as a symbol in our shared beliefe that one day we'll be together -and two halves will again be whole.

Well, sometimes you just can't help bad luck! Because it was being sent internationally, it cost me a small fortune to send via priority air-mail to get there in time. And what do you think happened? His trip, which was to be Thurs and Fri this week, got cancelled! Now I have to call the hotel and ask them to do a 'return to sender' on the package and send it back to me.

well about 6 months ago during a overite visit with om i blindfolded him and took him out in his backyard{its private}while it was rainging,warm rain,and we made love outside for hours..now everytime it rains he says he gets a huge smile on his face remembering...some of the most memorial things cannot be bought..showing that you care and want to spend time making him happy.it doesnt always have to be about sex either.since your man is married i would suggest cooking his favorite dinner with candles,his fav music,scented candles ect..take time to listen to his day{men love to talk}we like to play cards so i have a special deck{wink}on some of the cards i write phrases like kiss me,touch me,ect so when one of us draw that card the other person gets whats written on it..very fun.or i had him write some of his fantasies down awhile ago and sometimes i act out one without him knowing beforehand.do things for him that his wife doesnt have time/wont do for him.thats what will keep him coming back for more..good luck.if you need any ideas let me know i have lots..

Hi nickel,

MM and I don't normally do things like this... but this year... it will be different, for me anyway. MM has a sweet tooth and I plan on making him a cake or some sort of slice... something that he can take to back to work and his wife would not even know.

Is is possible to bake something for him??? sweet or savoury... something that comes from the heart.

Let us know what you decide to do.

luv and hugs

Sweet

Thanks Lexy! After all the time I put into it and what it cost to send, I was, to say the least, a little disappointed. But what was really disappointing was that I was so looking forward to his reaction when he received it because I knew it wouldn't have totallly blown his mind.

After he told me his trip got cancelled I told him that I'd sent the package (described it to him in detail) and it was on it's way to the hotel. He was surprised that I'd even sent what he asked for because he didn't think I would. So, he was equallly disappointed and really pissed at work because his trip had been cancelled. But he said the sweetest, most lovely and loving thing about why fate intervened - so my disappointment didn't last long.

Well, as it was said, these EMAs don't typically allow for alot of the possibilities. I wore a lacy corset for him once which he loved. I also had my pictures taken in lingerie just for him to look at, unfortunatley he cant take them home. However, I do intend to get him a new CD as soon as I figure out what one to buy him and Im going to take the case apart and put a wallet of one of my pics in there for only him to see when he misses me. It's a great hiding place by the way! Now, if I could only figure out a way to take photos of his dog and have one framed for him along with an excuse for him to tell his fiance where he got it...any suggestions?

Please let us know what you do???

I really have not done anything special for my MM even though he surprises me quite often nothing big just unexpected visits at my house when I least expect it. One night he was telling me he was leaving out of town so I would see him Mon and Tue (he said 2days) he was leaving Wed...I was sad and then stupid me got him upset on Mon and I did not see him I was just on a trip!! and when he called me on Wednesday I said hey hows it going did you make it into town he was like yes blablabal...and I was sad sitting in the living room..I have a glass door...and he was like what are u wearing...I said my boxers and he said oh...he was like well y dont u go outside im like for what he was like look at the moon its pretty im like OK...what for...im like you want me to look stupid dont u...he was like no come out...he was like sandy im outside..im like yea right then I heard his alarm go off in his car outside and threw thephone...he was like sandy look this way im at ur door...I was so shocked!!! He was like I promised you two days...

I mean to me it was one of the best surprises I could have gotten...cuz I was upset at my self for getting mad at him and telling him not to come on monday...just me being dumb!!


I wanted to do something for him but not sure...he just got a job working at an elementary school...first job as a teacher his degree and I was thinking of sending him something to school on the first day of class maybe a little teddy bear that said #1 teacher or a little bouquet...I dont have much money but it was a thought of sending him something...but I dont know...ANY ADVISE??? Is it a goofy idea...I dont know if that would ambarrass him since he is M.

I am in the same boat - can't do muh since he is M, BUT I made him a special CD and bought him a radio at work, so he can listen in his office. I put some really special songs on there, so he can always listen and think of me!
