What do you think would make a really great date for my wife?
I'm 31 and well educated. I like documentaries, well conceived drama and tv shows such as Mad Men and Entourage. We live in Toronto.
Sadly, between kids and work, my wife and I have to schedule dates 3 weeks in advance. So, when we get out, we make it worth it. I'm trying to figure out something a little bit different and unique, so please feel free to use your imagination!
What do you think would be a great evening (after 5pm) date for my wife and I?

Some scenarios that would make me drool:
1.) Spa evening.
Before going out to dinner, take her to a spa and keep her company as she has a facial, manicure (or maybe a massage?). Give her the queen's treatment to make her feel refreshed and beautiful. Surprise her with this. And while she's having all this beauty work done, stay by her side and read to her from her book or favorite magazine.
2.) Borders shopping.
This sounds maybe bland to some, but I love an evening of going to Borders, ordering a Chai Tea Latte, and then browsing books for hours. My husband will just catch glimpses of me skittering through the stacks of shelves with arms FULL of books. That kind of indulgence is magical and fun. It's really a full evening experience, especially if you go to a Borders with a cafe, and you share a piece of chocolate cake and enjoy some quiet time together.
2.) Surprise getaway.
This is my dream. If you can, get the grandparents (or someone you're very close with) to take the kids for the whole weekend.
Don't let you wife know. Pack their bags on the sly and make sure the babysitter keeps the secret too. Don't tell the kids until they're already there.
Then take her out to dinner, or hell, just hit the expressway! Take her to a fancy hotel or bed and breakfast somewhere out of town within a few hours' drive of home. Have an overnight bag for her already packed and in the car (don't forget women's things like toothbrush, deodorant, bras, lots of socks, extra shoes, etc.), along with a bottle of champagne, some champagne flutes, some chocolates, a warm blanket for her lap for the car ride, and some good tunes on the radio.
Whisk her away for the most magical, romantic, and sexy weekend of her life! She will flip for it, being the romantic she is!
Oh, I'm melting just thinking about all the ways it could be so magical with the right planning!
Good luck and happy date night!

Set up a picnic, it does not have to be anything fancy, bought sandwiches, or even her favorite fast food. Bring a blanket, her favorite book or magazine, lotion, candles (or lantern) and a music player.
You two will eat, talk, read, sit quietly, give each other foot massages (that is what the lotion was for), dance, kiss, etc.
She will be surprised, relaxed, pampered and have a night off with no expectations from work, family or strangers.

You ask for something unique so here is my suggestion for a very special night out that you both would enjoy I think.
Perhaps a light dinner prior to taking in this concert, or maybe just an appertizer and cocktail, with an after concert dinner plan, You would know more about the local restaurants in the area to make dining arrangments.
This Violinist is remarkable, i don't think you would regret the experince.

M$How about arranging to go to a spa or hotel with spa and have a couples massage together then have a spa inspired meal. Before the massage give her a beautiful new robe to wear with her monogram on it... I am suggesting a 5 star hotel or spa.
A night of her favorites. 1) That morning, give her a dress from her favorite clothing store/botique to wear for the date 2) Send her favorite flowers to her at work the day of the date telling her you cant wait for the date. 3) Take her to her favorite restaurant or a restaurant that serves her favorite kind of food (i.e. Italian) -have a pre-set meal set up already with the waiter of a whole meal of her favorite foods and drinks...you get the idea
Have a great time whatever you decide

First sense: You have to plan within your budget, with the economy such as this, saving is always a great idea. Plus, you have kids and no matter how much you both make, having a little more saving is always good.
Second sense: You have to plan a date that you'll both enjoy. Hopefully, she'll enjoy it enough when she return back to the office and share some of the details with her co-workers.
With that in mind, I would go to a place that's some what nostalgic. Somewhere that you both enjoyed before you two married. Such as, the nice little restaurant that you took her on your first date.
I would avoid a show or movie, since you two don't spend enough time talking and communicating because of work and kids, it'll be a nice way to share thoughts and not about work or kids for the night.
A show or movie might take up to two hours, and both parties are not communicating, to me that's wasting time.
This is my suggestion: plan a date to help out at the food shelter. Something that you two can work as a team and feel good about it later too. It won't cost you anything, plus seeing your wife helping others would remind you of why you fell in love with her in the first place.
Or
Take her to the spot where you first kissed her, the first restaurant where you ate with her. Afterward, take her ice skating or roller blade.
The point is to have fun and from time to time through all the running around with our daily life let your partner know that you care and cherish each-other.

M$That's what I got for my anniversary. It was divine. I loved the 'female perks', and once I was perked, he got his perks too!
Or... you can rent a hot air balloon ride at sunset, with a basket of cheese, crackers, fruit and some Conundrum wine... and don't forget the strawberries, dipped in chocolate, of course.

Or if you want something more mature and sophisticated, take a nice drive to somewhere where you can see the stars. Pack comfy blankets and some champagne or wine.
And finally, if you're set on spending money, see if any museums, art galleries, zoos, or aquariums are open late in your area. Learning new things together is surprisingly romantic.

Your married and have children, busy life styles and hardley no time.
Is it possible to take her back to where you met or proposed to her?
If so take her back and propose again, let her know you love her even more now. It sounds like you could afford to spruce it up some now.
Then let her know the rest of the evening is her decision because one evening is not enough for the beautiful children and home she has helped make with you.
P.S. I always liked an open horse and buggy ride. They normally provide a blanket to snuggle under.
Also if you do this take tissues.
