What to do (My wife's coming)

Delhi80
By Delhi80

Finally i have applied for my wife and kids' visa and was told by HR that in a couple of days you should get the visa. I have taken a nice apartment, enrolled for license but i need your help.

I wanted to give my wife a nice surprise when she comes with my daughter that makes her feel important and compromises for 45 days of staying alone.

I was thinking of buying her jewelery but somehow she does not like my choice so i have now decided to buy lot of rose petals and prepare a small red carpet from hall to the bedroom with a heart made of flowers on the bed.

I have done this earlier 3 years back on valentine day, can u suggest anything better that makes her happily surprised.

(I do not know how to play guitar)

Yes, keep the house as clean as you can cos that's the first thing women generally notice.

Stock the fridge with basics, some milk, juice, fruits. You can buy some biscuits/snacks your daughter might like. Shows you have put some thought into it :)

you can order for her Al Maha services at the airport, and to book a Limo. That would be a nice reception :)

Just get flower bouquet.

As for rose petal shower/path, cleaning up later will be a hassle. opt for something simple.

She'll be too tired travelling with the baby. what she'll need is a nice hot bath. So bath crystals/aroma salts would be nice. Lay out a nice comfy nightgown on the bed, feed her some hot soup, plus take over the baby from her to give her well needed rest and she'll be very grateful. Make sure to make arrangements for food the next day.

uhmmm what you wrote there is good enough already.. yes add up by cooking something for her.. learn from the internet or maybe you can order food from outside and bring it at home for dinner...you may also take her out with your daughter in the car and tour around and ending up a walk in the corniche...or a ride in that dhow...about that gold thing... it doesn't matter if she likes your choice or not.. all i know girls love gold...what is more important ,it is a gift from you..Good luck and I hope she will be swept off by your surprise... just by the thought of it.. i am excited of how it will go...

I would suggest not bothering with anything too fancy...a bunch of flowers and her favourite foods in the fridge will do nicely. I would also sit her down to tell her how much you missed her and how lucky you are to have her (if that's how you feel), I don't mean saying it in passing, but actually sit her down and make a point of meaning every word. Oh...and Al Maha because being in a long queue isn't much fun :-)

I think rizks this is a nice idea, since our appartment does not have fans, i need to do a door setting with something.

Thanks for that, your treat is done.

Your idea of inviting all QL members, may be after a while but right now i want some alone time with her. Since i could not get my RP last week there is a delay in her visa application and last week's was her birthday and she was so sad.

By the way where do i get nice rose petals in kilograms.

strange..........

really strange......

when did u got married?

as a husband, how come you dont know your wife's likes and dislikes...

you still dont know what she loves?

you still dont know what makes her happy?

sad....

really sad....

because its difficult to understand a girl as a wife.

if you gift her a expensive diamond, she may ask, why you wasted that much money....

you know, my friend.

never ever ask others how to give surprise to your wife.

the reason is, others dont know your wife. its you, who knows your wife better than anyone in this world...

and also.... you know the answer... what makes her happy..

dont you???

girls are very sensitive as far as i know.

from what you have posted, i know that you love your wife very much...

"when someone waits for you, it does not mean that he/she does not have any thing else to do...

it means nothing in this world is more important than you...

so....

you just need to let her know how much you loves her...

how much you care for her..

how much you.....

thats all...

she will be more happy than anything else...

take care

I really like charline's idea. Anyhow i do not want to cook since it is a new appartment and i am not aware of all the spices thatt goes in a curry. It is very complex and also i have to take lot of tension.

I am thinking of implementing charline's idea, have a red carpet of rose petals, and probably look for a nice picture of ours and put it in a large frame in our bedroom (Black and white).

Thanks Full circle:

Romantic music, is tough since i do not have anything in the house, just bought a refridgerator and washing machine.

Taking leave is also not an option since i am in probabtion period.

her in your arms when you arrive at your house. Stick small posters on the walls here and there saying 'you make this house a home'.Gals love candlelights...buy scented candles and light them all over the house. Put some romantic music on. Delhi flight, if its Qatar airways, arrives in morning...take leave from office. etc etc etc etc

he never asked about what we think his wife likes or dislikes, he asked for ideas to surprise her, because maybe he's running out of them.

So if you can't give your own idea (good or silly), then I suggest you stfu, instead of telling him to get a life!

only, to laugh and not to implement. Get a two PlayBoy Girls (of course you will not be able to find in Qatar), get them naked in your bedroom, and tell her that those are your girlfriends. For sure she will appreciate this and you will get what you deserve for what she likes.

On a serious second thought, just make it simple man. You know your wife, and women are so simple a nice rose with a real loving kiss would make the day for her. BE SO SIMPLE AND CARING.

Oh man what the hell...(Oh my Darling you bring paradise to me!!)

Get some life!!....(I am soulless without you)

You dont even know what to do for your wife?...(I have become insane and dont know what to do!!)

You need suggestion from a public forum?....(I have asked my friends and trustworthy guides to help me)

Do you know her personally or us!!...(Aaah....as if we have just met yesterday!!)

U are the only one knows her likes and dislike not we!!....(but I am not confident...)

Dont be so kiddish!! How crazy people are !!....(I am in love with you all over again)

1) Turn on the geyser and have warm water ready for bath before she comes home...Anyone making journey would appreciate to have a warm bath after reaching home.

2) Get some food delivered from some nice hotel. Soup is a must order her favourite food.

3) The house should be clean and spray some Air freshner so that it smells good.

4) Make sure you have some cozy slippers ready for her to wear around the house.

Do not try any fancy things like rose petals etc...just make her feel at home..

By Rizks• 27 Sep 2010 14:19

how about u bring small cute puppies nicely in a gifted pack and keep in the entrance door, so when she opens the door she will get excited and the kids too ? If u r not allergic to Pets ? :)

OR

Fix a small shower in the entrance of the door, so when she opens the door the shower will start automatically and Rose water will pour from the shower....:)

You nailed it... the immigration queues at that time of the morning can be frustrating, so if she has Al Maha, it will be hassle free for her and your baby... and then finish it up with a sumptuous breakfast and some nice tea/ coffee ;-)

When she wakes up in the afternoon, make sure lunch is ready ;-)

Kill a Cat and throw on her when she opens the door of your house....:)

You can book for her Maha Services at the airport : an hostess will assist her in all the paper work / visa and she will not have to wait so long, it is a great service...if you have money to spend you can even take the Platinium service where they will wait for her at the exit of the aircraft. To check Maha Services and contact : http://www.dohaairport.com/services_almaha.html?linksr09.

Then you book a luxurious limo to pick her up / the driver will give her a nice letter that you wrote to her to read during the trip to your place. You can have also prepare her favorite drink to be given by the driver.

I find that nice because anyway in the airport you can not really express your love so it is ok to wait 15 more minutes and meet in your place.
