Thyme to go make dinner

 

[engineergurl]

you just have to remember the rule

 

[engineergurl]

you can only buy her stuff for the house, if she buys you stuff for the house

 

[engineergurl]

go make dinner

 

[engineergurl]

I will come up with another present idea for you

 

[engineergurl]

ooo...

 

[engineergurl]

a romance bundle....

 

[engineergurl]

but you would have to brave it and buy some stuff men don't like to buy

 

[engineergurl]

Jar candle- (right now Walgreens has the big scent beads ones marked down to $9.99 but they are also buy one get one free, so you get two big ones for $10)

Massage Oil- Walgreens has it for about $8

Bottle of wine- $8 if you know how to pick it

wine glasses- $2 (you can get cheap ones at the dollar store)

Ky or astroglide- HA HA HA the price depends on the "size"

protection- (no clue how much this costs, but it's only if you need it)

then throw in something cute for her to wear or a sexy night gown or something (you can find them pretty decent price at target)

or if you are all kinky, then do your own thing

 

[engineergurl]

look that is two "gift boxes" for less than $50

 

[engineergurl]

of course for someone like me who loves cooking

 

[engineergurl]

and who has dogs who eat my kitchen things

 

[engineergurl]

dish towels

cooking tools (I no longer have any wooden spoons)

some cheap cutting boards (just to fill the box)

oven mitts (because both the thumbs are chewed off of mine)

Lakeside Collection Gourmet Kitchen Gift Sets or bread dipping sets- $5 to $7 *** can also be used for an Italian date night basket/box

and a REALLY nice frying pan

BAM! you just turned a frying pan into an awesome gift

 

[engineergurl]

Date night box #1

box of pasta- $1

jar of sauce- $2

bread mix-$2

garlic salt (or cloves or minced in oil)-$2

olive oil- (unfortunately this is usually $5 to $7)

wine-$8

Lakeside Collection Gourmet Kitchen Gift Sets or bread dipping sets- $5 to $7

[engineergurl]

at home movie night- aka date night box #2

GO TO THE DOLLAR TREE

popcorn container

popcorn

movie candy

soda

bottle of wine- $8

[engineergurl]

[engineergurl]

about, oh 8 years ago, I wanted to start a business called "Yankee Dixie Designer Baskets"

 

[engineergurl]

that business plan is filed away with several others

 

[engineergurl]

but I rock at putting together gift baskets
