You need to be more specific- are you talking about a gift, or a get together...?

I run a ship half the year. My kids are in their teens, and my wife and I are still going strong. Before the kids showed up, I used to fly her to meet me and ride the ship for a few days if we were doing short runs.
This year I'm missing her bday, so I bought tickets to NY for her and my kids, reserved a room and got them tickets to her favorite play, which my boys actually like.

Being thoughtful w/out breaking the bank is not as easy, but it's doable. Flowers and a nice letter is not too original, but all women start leaving snail trails in their chairs if you get both delivered to their workplace. Showing off their relationship with someone who isn't actually there is both smart and proactive for the both of you. The little thoughts and the larger gestures are pretty powerful when done right.

So what are you looking to do?

Thanks for responding! Heading back on leave soon for a little over a week. And looking for ideas for something spontaneous that us young people (25&24) could enjoy outside of the normal things. It's hard to get her out of town for more than a day between class, her internship, and her job. Ideally something we could do for a day or something romantic I could do for her while I'm there. I can't show up at her workplaces, though. Elementary school and social work.
