Just sending the kids to my parents’ house and being able to spend time alone with my husband at home would be amazing.” — Sarah “I just want red roses, but I want a lot of them. A ridiculous number of red roses, like the girls you see on Instagram. It’s not practical, I know, but, hey, I can dream.” — Aljohara “Chocolates and a teddy bear, please.And if possible, I’d like to watch a romantic comedy at home. I hope my future husband enjoys 1990s movies, because that’s what he’s getting.” — Nesreen “Kitchenware. I love pots, pans, bakeware, even Tupperware. Something I can use in the kitchen. I love my husband, but even he knows that the kitchen is my real first love.” — Dunia Him “It would be nice to get a watch or a pen that’s flashy, but I would be happier with a toolkit, a new lens for my camera, or even just a gift card. It’s the thought that counts.” — Adam “This is going to sound crazy, but I want books. I collect antique books. My mom complains that they clutter up the place, but maybe when I get married my wife will understand.” — Nasser “I’m taking my wife to Disneyland Paris. I collaborated with a work friend of hers to get her leave. She doesn’t know a thing. It’s a surprise I know she’s going to love.” — Sultan
