Leave it wrapped, and the note sounds good. The flower will be fine if you wrap it in a piece of wet paper towel and saran wrap, that will help with keeping it fresh for as long as possible. Or if you prefer just purchase a silk one, they aren't terribly expensive.
Ali, Your post about sensuality etc had me in tears. I too was like you. Sex was dirty etc etc. I would do anything just to be able to show my H how I have now realised how much I hurt him by my actions. Sadly he is hell bent on D. I don't want to give myself to another man so I may never get to show my new found 'freedom'. I really do wish you well.

Alright well there's not a big much of anything to report on that, but I'll give you the scoop.
She was out during the day on Friday so I took the opportunity to place the nighty on her side of the bed. I bought some pretty flowers, some kind of mum I think. Anyway I took one and pulled some petals off and scattered them around, then I took a flower and cut off the stem and laid in on the package. I left the note saying "W, VC emailed an advertisment to my address, and when I saw this, I just had to get it for you."
So I got home from work just like any other day, did'nt mention anything. About a half hour later she said, "so, I got your gift today". And I said "oh, good" and that's about it. Wow, hot stuff aye? Well actually there is a little more.
So after awhile I noticed She was sort of acting kind of strange and so I asked her if she was OK. She said, "well, it's not exactly a bathing suit cover up is it?" in sort of a sarcastic kind of voice. And I said, " hey, I did'nt buy it so you could freak out about it, I just thought it was pretty and I had never bought anything like that for you before". Well, in a much different attitude she then quickly reminded me that I had once before. I said "oh yah, I remember that leopard skin thingy, oh you were so hot in that". And THAT is pretty much it. We had a very nice weekend together.
It sat on her dresser all weekend, flower and all. I never brought it up again, nor did I ask to see her in it. One small miracle is that the flower never wilted all weekend. It still looks as fresh as it did on Friday when I gave it to her. I see THAT as a good omen.
It's baby steps. She'll be eating out of my hand before you know it. She's gonna fall, just melt some day, and I'll swoop her off her feet. She's one tough nut, but I grew up on a walnut ranch so I know how to handle tough nuts.
Love,

Oh Ali, thank you so much. I'm trying, I really am. I wish that I would have done this a long time ago, like the day after we got M, but better late than never eh.

It's true, I really did grow up on a nut farm.
How are you? I've been patiently waiting for an update on your thread.

I want to thank all of my friends here, especially you ladies who helped me with the baby doll thing, and the flower and the note. I would have blown it for sure if I just winged it on my own. It's great having my own personal consulting team. You are truly special people, and I am truly blessed to have you!
Love,
