It is very sweet and thoughtful, like he is. It inspired me to do a top ten list of my favorite gifts he's given me over the years. He's very good at picking out things that are meaningful.
1. My wedding band, inscribed with: "May I Have This Dance? 7/4/2003" This is significant because I used to be a dancer.
2. A drawing he made of ballet shoes on pointe.
3. A stuffed Mr. Snuffleupagus doll from the gift shop at the hospital after Nick was born (my childhood dog was named Snuffy).
4. The Pandora bead "journey" when we found out my grandfather was sick (he is doing much better now).
5. My Garmin GPS watch and iPod nano, both for running and both made obsolete when I got my iPhone.
6. My Starbucks coffee mug. It was ceramic and I'm still bummed that it broke.
7. My treadmill x 2
8. A weekend away in Niantic when we first started dating. I think we stayed at a Motel 6, but it was sweet nonetheless.
9. My cheesehead.
10. The key finder he got me at Brookstone in like 1995. It never really worked but it was still a thoughtful gift.
He also does a lot of thoughtful things. The other day he stopped at the commuter lot to brush the snow and ice off my car before the bus dropped me off there. Sometimes he'll pick me up from work and bring me coffee too. If he knows I've had a rough day, he'll have a bottle of wine waiting for me when I get home. Sometimes he'll text me in the middle of the day just to let me know he's thinking about me.
