[quote=Anonymous]I didn't realize how thoughtful my DH was for a while, or the intentions behind his gifts.  I'm kind of cheap, er, frugal, and I'd get upset if he got something extravagant that didn't exactly, 100%, fulfill a need at that moment - a cashmere robe instead of a terry one, or a beautiful coat with impractical details, or an engraved iPod full of love songs.  I was kind of awful about it, and cringe every time I think of it.

Then last year, he just blew me away.  I have a friend who is a designer and dressmaker, and I knew she was looking for work, so I hinted that I'd love to have her make me an apron.  He did that.  He also took my favorite, sooo comfy, discontinued, completely gross old granny nightgown that would not have made it another year, and had her remake it down to the last detail, with her own color combination.

This nightgown makes me so happy, but it's a potato sack.  High neck, flannel, ankle length. It's definitely not the gift that keeps on giving to him, except that every time I put it on I get a little misty with gratitude for this incredibly sweet, thoughtful, delightful man.  I really cannot believe my luck.  [/quote]
