Reality seems to get in the way. The last "shiny" thing he gave me came after our daughter's birth. Gorgeous sapphire and diamond ring. My baby blues/push present. Of course he so kindly pointed out that I didn't push out either of our children...Heidi Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994365949068595464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936630222019897817.post-38370413772280384592012-08-07T19:51:26.535-04:002012-08-07T19:51:26.535-04:00But watching that while eating marzipan chocolate ...But watching that while eating marzipan chocolate from Target wouldn't be awful...seriously, this was lovely!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01294308714313220666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936630222019897817.post-81189991940373932512012-08-07T19:02:49.919-04:002012-08-07T19:02:49.919-04:00I would rather give a gift than receive one, I nev...I would rather give a gift than receive one, I never know what to say and it just feels awkward but I so know what your talking about with kid's and other things that come first and the gift giving slowly fades away. At my house it was the opposite, my ex louse was the one who loved giving gifts, I hated it so I was the one always in a panic come anniversary or birthday time.Pajama Days in a Klonopin Hazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06354363723619410522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936630222019897817.post-2245292431104331702012-08-07T13:51:56.434-04:002012-08-07T13:51:56.434-04:00MOV, you are SO right on.

After a few dozen years together, the REAL gifts are absolutely free and have been paid for a LONG time ago with love, dignity, and caring...at the wedding alter.

I just don't need or desire much so I feel like it is wasteful. It's not that I don't want to give gifts but I always torture myself as to what is a perfect gift for that person. That takes the fun out of it... worrying if that is what they would really want or need. I do love to wrap though. There is nothing prettier than heavy paper packages with pretty handmade bows made out of wired ribbon.<br /><br />My husband loves buying gifts and he comes home often with surprises. Again, I adore the effort but I have lots of little boxes with jewelry I seldom wear. My watch, my engagement ring, my wedding ring and an anniversary ring are what I wear 100 percent of the time.<br /><br />Having a good husband and happy children...that is an uber cool gift for sure.Cperzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09062444081488414888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936630222019897817.post-14096554103786262742012-08-07T11:50:05.790-04:002012-08-07T11:50:05.790-04:00I could not have said it better myself.
