Hi all! I have been slammed and traveling a lot for work these last few weeks and my husband has been amazing through all of it. We just celebrated his birthday and I gave him a big gift, but I’d like to get him something nice to show my appreciation for these last few weeks too. Think the male equivalent of flowers. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Outside of the bedroom, an easy way to show my hubby I am thinking of and appreciate him in the $150 range is a new pair of shoes. That guy doesn't say no to Nike (but is a huge sneaker head). I'd just get something you know is within his interests.

Is there a snack or treat he likes? For my husband it is chocolate chip cookies (homemade if I have time)

Could you send him off for a relaxing activity he likes? I book an hour at the virtual golf place near us or get him a nice cigar to go enjoy.

Baked by Melissa cupcakes. My husband loves them! I am going to be gone for 2 weeks for trial and he’ll be flying solo with our 15 month old so cupcakes scheduled for delivery halfway through. I’ve also done See’s Chocolates and baking biscuits which he loves.

Def support all the other suggestions too - especially massage!

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.

I am in a long distance relationship with someone who is currently in B school. He spends pretty much all his breaks and holidays traveling with his classmates. Most of the time I am fine. But for some important holidays and my birthday, I told him we should spend time together. He just said it’s more important for him to bond with his classmates and ignore my ask. It’s really disappointing and I don’t know what else to tell him. Is that a reasonable ask or am I being dramatic?
