Take her out for a really nice lunch, while there present her with a single flower and a sizeable gift certificate to a local fabric store. AFter lunch take her to said fabric store and let her do her thing. You can sit at the pattern table (where they have chairs) and hold her purse while she does her thing. Take a book to read, this could take some time. Play your cards right, hubby dearest, and you might "get lucky" when you get home.
There should be more like you.
Good luck.
