He was so proud of himself one year when he thought of getting me a scanner :meh:</p> <p>Eta: I needed to scan 1 picture. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-youve-ever-gotten-from-your-so#post-2295267 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 17:35:57 +0000 hellobeeboston 2295267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A surprise vacation!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-youve-ever-gotten-from-your-so#post-2295264 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 17:33:34 +0000 CakeLady 2295264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For our first anniversary DH surprised me with dinner at Alinea, one of the best restaurants in the country (and very difficult to get reservations). I had no idea where we were going until we got there. I was AHmazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-youve-ever-gotten-from-your-so#post-2295256 Fri, 18 Sep 2015 17:20:15 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2295256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's surprised me a few times with things that I didn't know I wanted, but loved. Once it was a Kindle, once it was a FitBit, but the coolest? For my birthday two years ago, he commissioned a friend who is a graphic designer to create a logo and redesign my blog for me. Never would have thought of it or asked for it, but it was pretty exciting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-youve-ever-gotten-from-your-so#post-2294016 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 17:45:17 +0000 ms.jellen 2294016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was my first birthday in Louisiana after just having moved from everything I've ever known in San Diego. It also just so happen to be my first hurricane experience... I woke up that morning to a custom made rose gold cut CA with a diamond marking San Diego. I Don't like jewelry but this one meant so much I was blown away. He also had a little French bulldog puppy waiting for me hahahha. He can never top that I'm sure of it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-youve-ever-gotten-from-your-so#post-2166451 Mon, 04 May 2015 13:04:21 +0000 ValentineMommy 2166451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is not the best gift giver, unless I straight out tell him what I want (which I don't mind, but takes the sentimental/thought out of it, I think).</p> <p>The best gift he thought of on his own was probably this past Christmas when he gave me a gift cert to Destination Maternity to buy a summer maternity wardrobe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-youve-ever-gotten-from-your-so#post-2166356 Mon, 04 May 2015 12:14:22 +0000 beckysue 2166356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter.<br /> I know that sounds weird but we were childfree by choice and my husband was very firm on this before we got married (I was fully on board). To the point that when I started feeling like I would regret it if I never had children I was really nervous as to how the conversation would go. (1st convo, not great).<br /> Long story short, we agreed to have one child and once it was decided he committed himself fully to the idea. He is a great dad. He takes care of our daughter solo from 8-12 everyday and never complains and does an awesome job.<br /> There is no better gift :)</p> <p>Haha - material gifts he is TERRIBLE at. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-youve-ever-gotten-from-your-so#post-2166243 Mon, 04 May 2015 11:37:11 +0000 catlady 2166243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH doesn't do well at "object" gifts so he likes to plan "experience" gifts. I think the one that blew me away the most was a weekend trip to NYC. He planned it all by himself (hotel, dinner, tickets to a musical) and it was lovely to just go and know that he had already taken care of everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-youve-ever-gotten-from-your-so#post-2166177 Mon, 04 May 2015 11:04:07 +0000 Shutterbug 2166177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Charm54: that is so sweet!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-youve-ever-gotten-from-your-so#post-2166129 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:43:09 +0000 Keybee 2166129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A new HOBO wallet for our 3rd anniversary. I was expecting something little and was super surprise. DH is a good gift giver. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-youve-ever-gotten-from-your-so#post-2165726 Mon, 04 May 2015 02:21:16 +0000 Rocker2014 2165726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For our first Valentine's Day together, my husband bought me these funky bright red patent leather shoes- he had even contacted my best friend to make sure the size was right! I loved the shoes so much that I decided to marry him that day!' </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-youve-ever-gotten-from-your-so#post-2165675 Sun, 03 May 2015 20:54:56 +0000 jedeve 2165675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not in the same league as some of the others...but DH got me this nativity for my first Mother's Day. It is in our living room year round. </p> [attach=2423/15/nnsynk.338x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-youve-ever-gotten-from-your-so#post-2165663 Sun, 03 May 2015 20:32:21 +0000 sapphire 2165663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A maternity gown from Seraphine to wear for our anniversary and Valentines Day when I was. 8 and 9 months pregnant and feeling like a whale! Also an amazing leather planner that he had filled with these planner page PDFs that I had found and really liked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-youve-ever-gotten-from-your-so#post-2165498 Sun, 03 May 2015 13:51:39 +0000 chopsuey 2165498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He surprised me with a new car for my 35th bday. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-youve-ever-gotten-from-your-so#post-2165497 Sun, 03 May 2015 13:47:19 +0000 sarac 2165497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jedeve: I have the Boye metal set. It'll last me a life time. I like it was better than the Denise set. Although I see that now you can buy a bamboo set, so that's too bad. But mine are just amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-youve-ever-gotten-from-your-so#post-2165483 Sun, 03 May 2015 13:26:13 +0000 jedeve 2165483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: what is it?

He let me pick out anything I wanted at tiffanys while we were there. :shocked: </p> <p>That's probably the biggest and most memorable gift! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-youve-ever-gotten-from-your-so#post-2165361 Sun, 03 May 2015 09:24:37 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 2165361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's always been good at gift giving, but the things I've loved the most that he's spent money on are the awesome vacations we've taken. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-youve-ever-gotten-from-your-so#post-2165302 Sun, 03 May 2015 06:15:44 +0000 Charm54 2165302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On our wedding day he gave me a Tiffany's initial necklace. I had never owned anything Tiffany's before so i was excited just to see the blue box.</p> <p>But when I opened the box, the initial wasn't for my first name like I thought it would have been - it was for my maiden name. Even though I had decided to change my last name he knew I was really nostalgic and a bit sad to let go of my maiden name. Now I wear it every single day, and it reminds me of my wedding day and also how thoughtful and caring my husband was! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-youve-ever-gotten-from-your-so#post-2165296 Sun, 03 May 2015 05:44:50 +0000 looch 2165296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A night in a French chateau, with an amazing dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-gift-youve-ever-gotten-from-your-so#post-2165275 Sun, 03 May 2015 00:51:41 +0000 erinpye 2165275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As of right now? My Apple Watch, given to me just because he thought I'd enjoy one as much as he would, and he wanted us to be able to send each other our heartbeats.

I should direct him to this thread for some ideas.
