What's the female-to-male equivalent of bringing flowers when you've screwed up?

Long and not that interesting of a story, but I think I need to bring some flowers home to DH. Except he doesn't care about flowers. So what would you do/bring home if you did something crappy and wanted to make it up to him?

Re: What's the female-to-male equivalent of bringing flowers when you've screwed up?

  • Treat him to his favorite dinner (either at a restaurant or making it at home)? Bake him some cookies? Sorry mine are all food related.

    I was thinking this or maybe a DVD of his favorite movie or show? Does he need a new ipod or some new ear buds?

    I am trying to think "toy" wise....

  • For my DH, it would be candy (kit kats, caramellos, etc)

  • I was waiting for the dirtier suggestions! I would adopt some of them except I'll be working tonight and won't see him till late and he'll probably be asleep. So I was thinking something I could make/do before I go into work this afternoon and leave it for him when he gets home. Not ideal, but it's the best I can do today  :-/
  • DH and I were discussing this a few months back. It was decided a BJ was the equivilent. I informed him he better find a girlfriend then.

    What about a pizza delivery for his dinner tonight?

  • Thanks for the ideas ladies!

    Leave naked pictures for him and a sexy note saying what you'll do to him when you're finally together.

    The pictures don't need to be printed, obviously, as you can just leave them in a folder on his computer and/or make them his screen saver and/or desktop background (if background you could always do just one if short on time) but be sure the note tells him where to find them.

    Warning: Don't forget to have him remove them from said background or screen saver before anyone might come over and see them (like his father). True facts.

    Oh my... I think this is a little too spicy for me  ;)  I'm too paranoid to take naked pictures of myself!

    I ended up baking him a pie he asked for last weekend, getting some takeout for him to eat for dinner (since I won't be home) and buying him a new DVD. Hopefully that will cheer him up.

    The first thing I thought of when I read this is that it would be totally hilarious if you left him a copy of the movie American Pie next to the pie with a vaguely suggestive note.

    Anyways, while I agree the male equivalent of flowers is something more akin to a BJ, I will say that I would totally forgive you if you made me a pie, ordered me dinner, and bought me a movie. :) I'm sure he'll love it.

  • I just asked my husband what the male equivalent of flowers was and he said "spark plugs." Indifferent I'm not sure that will work in your case. I think a pie that he asked for sounds fabulous. I wish my husband would ask me to make a pie.
