Around the clock

I am not sure if that is what the title is or not but I found the idea on pintrest and loved it. It is what I am doing this year for Matt and can certainly be altered for how many years you've been married etc. Send your sweetie to work with a stack of envelopes each labeled with a time separated by an hour. ex: 8:14, 9:14, 10:14, 11:14--the idea is 14 for Valentines day. Anyways, he will look forward to opening a new surprise every hour and you can do really simple and inexpensive to more elaborate and pricey. The idea is that you will have 24 envelopes or packages for him to open. If you don't want to do that many pick how many you want to do. 

Some good ideas are:


  • favorite candy bar
  • gift card to favorite restaurant (you score on this too, hopefully)
  • gift card to store
  • free back rub or foot rub
  • coupon to sleep in
  • coupon to get out of chores for a day
  • a mix cd with his favorite songs
  • a framed picture of you and him or your family for his office
  • a simple note or poem expressing your love and how much he means to you
  • movie tickets
  • honestly do I have to say it, sex! (That is my grand finale, because lets face it, it's all he really wants anyways!)
  • ...etc.



Please share more ideas with good gifts, either no cost, cheap, or expensive; all work and are appreciated!

  1. What a fun idea! So every hour at the 14th min. of the hour he gets to open another gift! That's better than Christmas!!!

    You could also put some lipstick on and kiss a paper with a little love note (include a chocolate kiss if he likes them)...then he would get a kiss from you in the middle of the day (or whichever hour you have him open it).
