If your SO goes OOT for a few days... (2 part post)
When they return do you usually pick them up a little something for them to welcome them home?
Mr. K hasn't been OOT very long, but he has been in meetings non-stop since he left town. From what it sounds, it was extremely busy for him. So, I thought about getting a little something for him when he returns tonight.
The last two times I got him a random gift, they were bottles of wine. I have a friend who owns a liquor store and is a wine connoisseur that helped me pick out those bottles as I am not a wine drinker.
Mr. K LOVES wine, but since I already got him a bottle twice beforehand, I am not sure I should get him another bottle. Or should I?
Thoughts? Ideas?

Re: If your SO goes OOT for a few days... (2 part post)
In my relationship, it has only been me who has been OOT, but my BF never got me anything.
If he was OOT, I don't think I would buy him anything. I would give him a nice massage though, especially since Mr. K has been busy with work!
When I went OOT in September for a long weekend (3 days), The Artist got a book from one of my favorite authors for me and gave it to me when I got back.
I loved it and it didn't feel like "too much" or "too little," FWIW.
I think if you can think of something other than the wine, that would be really nice. But if you do wine for a third time, it might start seeming perfunctory, you know?
On the other hand, wine is wine, and it is easily enjoyed, so perhaps it doesn't matter!
I can see I've been NO help whatsoever
I like this idea!
XH traveled a lot and I would just mke dinner whe he came home. He usually rewarded himself w drugs :P
I like the wine idea and making it your thing. You can save the corks and start a collection
BF travels a lot for work. I don't do anything except maybe cook him a nice dinner when he gets home.
However, if he is going to be gone for an extended length of time, I sometimes pack a care package and hide it in his luggage. Or for the trip last year when he was gone for 5 weeks, I mailed some type of care package each week. He was in the middle of nowhere, so it was snacks and such that he loved but couldn't just run to the store and get, a book or magazine and a card usually.
