Do you have any gift from your significant other that means a lot to you, but may seem silly to someone else?

For example, the first gift my (now husband) gave me when we were engaged was a bath set, which he put together himself. It was a whole bunch of bath/hair products. After I finished using the stuff, I kept all of the empty bottles, and have them all saved in a box, and I also kept the gift basket, just to remember that this was the first gift I received as an engaged couple.



Do you have anything like that?

A million dollar check that can never be cashed....

My fiance was my server at a restaurant when we first met. I was in a grumpy mood but when I saw this cute guy I cheered up a little. Normally at this restaurant the workers never come to the table. Be he kept coming back to make sure things were okay. Once he asked if he could get anything else for us and I looked at him and said "A million dollars" He just smiled and said okay! He ran to the back and came out with a checkbook and said " what was your name?" Then his co-worker came out yelling at him to give her, her checkbook back. After we got together a few months later he brought me a check for a million dollars. And I keep it to remember how we first met.

Reply:When my boyfriend died. He said good bye to me and ever since than I feel him near me. I bought him a ring, I don't look to it as a engagment ring . But he wanted me to wear it and remember him. People thing i am crazy for buying my boyfriend who already passed on to the other world. a ring.
Reply:The only thing my husband gave me that meant anything are my kids. I have kept them. Some people think they are a little silly, but I think they get that from me!
Reply:My boyfriend gave me a Boney M CD for Christmas and when I opened it I cried. I had told him that it wasn't Christmas without Boney M cause we listened to it every Christmas since I was a baby, probably, and my family had lost our tape of it. He remembered and wanted us to have a proper Christmas :)
Reply:not really...kinda....the 1st flowers he bought me...a couple dried roses
Reply:I keep all sorts of "junque" like that because I am a sentimental sap! This is our 2nd marriage, but we knew each other since 2nd grade. We married after we turned 40 and he still gave me his HS class ring to put in a box right next ot mine! When he gave it to me he told me that he wished we'd gotten together way back then. He wished he'd known what a jewel I really was. Cute, huh? I loved it!
Reply:I still have the little heart bracelet that he gave me as a graduation present right before our first date...that was 20 years ago %26amp; I will never let it get away from me! I also still have the ribbon that came on the roses he sent me for that first date! ;o)
Reply:My children.
Reply:Yeah, it's a clipping from a magazine about conjoined twins... that morning I woke up and asked "You know conjoined twins? Do you refer to them as single or plural?" He didn't even know I was awake and it scared the crap outta him... but it's like our own private joke, and when he saw that article, he just had to get it for me.
Reply:It was made when my niece was only 3. She wanted to make me a thank you gift for being her favourite aunt and she made me a bracelet (on her own) of old string with a small circle of pennies and 1 quarter attached as a bracelet in a little plastic case. I still pull it out every once in awhile and wear it even though she is now 13 and she blushes about it but is secretly pleased I kept it. I love the totally oddness of it because to her that was ALL her money and she thought she was at least buying me a new car with those kind of funds. Little bunny!



Those kind of things mean more than bought gifts. My Mom has a old seaweed ring that my Dad made at the beach and put on her finger when they were dating because he could not afford a ring then. Eventually she got her formal ring but I think she still holds the beach one closer to her heart and now that he is not here, it really keeps him close.
