This sounds so simple but my FWH really appreciates it. Every morning I bring him coffee while he is taking a shower. I always have a smile on and say something nice when I hand him the cup. He says it helps start his morning out on a good note. Sometimes he ends up not being alone in the shower and goes into work a little later. [img]images/icons/grin.gif" border="0[/img]

Ah! Good one! <p>How about a variation? My H doesn't usually shower till he gets home from work or later in the evening. And he doesn't really drink beer anymore except in social settings nowadays...
but I once brought him a cold beer in the shower. It was novel and he got a kick out of it. Then he later reciprocated by bringing me a wine cooler when I was in the shower.

Awesome ideas, guys. <p>For 34 years, my mom has gotten up at the crack of dawn to get my dad a cup of coffee, pack his lunch, and lay out his clothes. I always thought that was so cheesy, but it's important to him.<p>H doesn't drink coffee, but I could do orange juice...

Call him whipped, but I fix my husband's plate at lunch and supper...for work, I send him a hot plate lunch every day. He loves it, and it's not that big of a deal for me to spoil him. [img]images/icons/wink.gif" border="0[/img]

Since we've been together my H and I have shared morning coffee. Once upon a time we lived in two separate apartments and we'd meet on the landing at 6 a.m. He'd bring the coffee and we'd huddle in blankets in the winter time and share coffee and conversation.<p>Now every weekday morning I get up, make coffee, do my exercises, shower, then bring him coffee in bed. We snuggle and visit and sometimes more for about 30 or 45 minutes and then we get up and start our days for real.<p>He says the morning coffee is one of the most important things I do for him. I quit caffeine about a year ago but I still bring him his coffee and he loves it. What an easy deposit [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]

I always bring my W a Dr. Pepper in the morning. She "needs" the caffeine, but doesn't do coffee or tea. <p>I make sure I DON'T open it, though. Just in case she's still too groggy to pick up the can from a prone position (and Dr. Pepper gets the sheets pretty sticky, doncha know) [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]
