I'm not married, and right now I am single... but in the past:
- Went out to a "First Friday" artsy event in the downtown in, like, September, all the galleries and such open up late and have some free wine/fruit/cheese/chocolate/etc. We nose around through several of such, listen to the street musicians, and venture into some shops we've never been in. Buy a few pieces of candy and that's the night: a memorably good date night.
A few months later, I return alone and: - buy one of the artsy photos she likes (reminded her of a pet) - girly lavender-scented heat wrap at the one boutique we ventured into - and buy some of the soft caramels she liked.
It's more the fact that I remembered months afterward what she liked of that night that made it a good gift.
Admittedly: buying for a girlfriend is different.
- Stiletto
