Hubby has given me many wonderful things over the years. But the first thing that comes to mind is a fire opal earring and necklace from our trip to Hawaii (Maui). We visited a great jewelry store there and I greatly admired both that set and another neckace (black pearl). I *finally* decided to go with the black pearl, knowing that I would probably never another chance at those opals. Then we went to dinner, during which Hub excused himself for a rather long time, but finally returned.
Three months later (!!) what do I get for Christmas but the opal set I had so greatly admired. He had RUN back to the store to pick them up, and saved them for a Christmas gift. To me, it was made so wonderful because he was paying attention to what I liked (I didn't have to put it on a list with website addresses and prices), he made extra effort to get it, and he managed to keep it a secret for three whole months! (And he remembered to pack it for our trip to the family X-mas.)
It's the attention to details and effort he put into it that makes it still so special.
