That's OK though, I'm not a material girl. I don't need gifts on my Birthday or Flowers on Valentines day. I don't need Jewelry for our Anniversary...I just need you. But sometimes it's nice to get something just for no reason, like a flower that you picked just because you thought of me. When was the last time you got a special something for no special reason?

My husband has been very good to me, and usually gets me things every now in then just because I have wanted it or needed it. But my favorite times are when he does something unexpected, like doing the laundry, or cleaning up the house, or taking care of the baby after I have been up all night. Those are the best things, because it helps me greatly, and it shows me how much he cares about me. My second favorite time is when he got me my wedding band. When we got married we weren't able to get wedding bands because we couldn't afford them. I have only had my engagement ring. So for christmas my husband got me a wedding band and a necklace that says mom. Those two items mean the world to me. I was so surprised that he got me my wedding band, it was just so unexpected. It is something that I will cherish forever. I think that the best things in life are those that are unexpected and it doesn't have to be something that is materialistic just a simple kiss or I love you suffices me.

Thank you for sharing your story, it was very sweet for your husband to get you a wedding band. I remember when I got married and we didn't have a lot of money. I actually paid for our wedding rings and later on my husband left his ring at a bowling alley after taking it of to wash his hands

Hi missy! I'm kinda surprised that you're saying this! I pictured Sconi as the "romantic type". My bf is the "cheap creep" type! He didn't get me anything for this past Valentine's Day because he was mad at me. He didn't get me anything for Easter-same story! And he never gets me something for no reason! Cheap!

He actually is a sweet romantic guy but money problems and being out of work kinda put a damper on things. He does send me free e-cards

I cannot really remember. I can tell you that I am more likely to get an unexpected gift than an expected one. Of course, I get served coffee in bed almost every morning, and meals fixed and served to me from time to time.

Flowers are still a nice gesture and a great gift to receieve. Flowers are the kind of gift that you could give for any occasion and feel good about.

Well i got my girl a valentine's gift and i am sure she liked it well as i did. I seriously like her a lot but i am feeling kinda cut off from her as she has been coming rarely online now and she will be coming soon and she will have an answer for it hopefully. She really loved my gift and even posted pictures of it online which i see everyday now! Cheers!

I love it when my man randomly brings me things like flowers. Sometimes he'll go out and buy them and sometimes he'll pick them. He's even made me one out of paper before and it was really cute :) I HATE when he gets me them and people are like "what did he do?". Just because he's getting me flowers does not mean that he did something wrong and is trying to make up for it. Sometimes he'll be in a store or something and bring home candy or another small thing that he knows I like.

Given that we're students, and therefore skint, and the fact I'm trying to lose weight, my boyfriend doesn't have many options for surprising me with gifts. Flowers are okay but honestly I'm not that bothered. But anyways, back to the point, the last thing my boyfriend surprised me with was one of those lindt egg things, the red wrapper ones about the size of a creme egg? I love them, and they're really hard to find now that Easter is over. He also surprised me by buying me a little cuddly rhino when we were at the zoo last week. He said it was tradition to go with the little cuddly toys we've bought at other zoos so far (we're both zoology students so zoos are a sort of hobby). It was only a little thing but it really made me smile - and he then spent the drive home trying to come up with a name for it which was adorable. Other than that it's little things like suggesting we stay in and watch a movie rather than going out with friends for the third night in a row (student lifestyle!) or sending me a sweet text.

You know..staying home and just cuddling and having a nice meal is probably the best thing that anybody can do

Almost every day - my lady brings me coffee if I'm working, leaves a note just 'because', etc. (And yes, I do the same.) On another note, your title and first line made me chuckle. That's typical girl-talk: "You don't do this. It's OK though." Well, obviously it isn't or you wouldn't have mentioned it.

The last time a gift for no reason I was served a few months ago.I did not receive flowers and got a wonderful chair for the computer in the first moment the feeling was very pleasant.Hopefully each of us have such moments.It's really important to get gifts for no reason.
