vesw01 Posted August 23, 2006 #1 Share Posted August 23, 2006 This is our first trip EVER without the kids. I was thinking of having the room decorated or something sent to our room. Many of the packages include shirts and stuff that wouldn't work for us since we are so tall - any thoughts on what to get him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jckvpa0 Posted August 23, 2006 #4 Share Posted August 23, 2006 You could order flowers, champagne, chocolates or fruit & have them delivered to the room. Enjoy, I'm sure your well deserved time alone with your dh. And try to not spend the whole trip talking about the kids, cause you know you will :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vesw01 Posted August 23, 2006 Author #9 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Interesting advice - from all over the board. For some those "items" may work, but my DH is more straight laced than most. I was wondering more if anyone had ordered any of the stuff from bonvoyage gifts and were happy with their order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering more if anyone had ordered any of the stuff from bonvoyage gifts and were happy with their order If you are asking about quality of items and promptness of delivery then yes I was very satisfied. I have ordered t-shirts and a stuffed Fun Ship Freddy for my daughter. They were wrapped really nicely and waiting on the bed inside our cabin when we arrived.

chasekenslee Posted August 23, 2006 #15 Share Posted August 23, 2006 If you want to buy something, then how about a nice "something" for you to slip into. :rolleyes: Be romantic!!! Order a bottle of wine for the room and enjoy each other- without the worry of kids. My husband and I take 1 trip a year for just him and I. It is wonderful. No kids, no jobs, no housework, nothing to distract us from each other. I look so forward to that time so we can act like newlyweds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirthdayGirl30 Posted August 23, 2006 #16 Share Posted August 23, 2006 My husband thanks you in advance for the pending cancellation of the ship gifts I had sent and the new "gift" planned in leiu of the Fun Ship Freddy. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirthdayGirl30 Posted August 23, 2006 #17 Share Posted August 23, 2006 This is very true. I'd never even say that to my good IRL friends!! :) It's going to be quite a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derf5585 Posted August 23, 2006 #18 Share Posted August 23, 2006 but my DH is more straight laced than most. Usage: Today's is yet another example of a word gone astray in our language. It has now been misspelled "straight-laced" for so long that this spelling is now accepted everywhere. The adverb, though rarely used, is "straitlacedly" while the noun is "straitlacedness" (with or without the hyphen). Be careful when you try to amaze your friends and colleagues with the correct spelling of this word that you are not taken as an illiterate yourself. from http://www.yourdictionary.com/wotd/wotd.pl?word=straitlaced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vesw01 Posted August 23, 2006 Author #23 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Boy was I just called illiterate? No he would not make a good contestant and it probably best that I not participate in fear of shocking him .... Sorry if I mispelled something or used the wrong verbage....I hope that I don't have to take an IQ test before cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
