If you are one of those of with not a shred of greed and a big giving heart willing to make your significant other without expecting nothing in return, then THIS is your thread.

Please post here if you gave your significant other a beautiful gift that won’t go to waste.

I am posting the gift I gave my Wife for this Valentine’s day.

My wife is not the emotional type and she is an exceptionally frugal non-materialist. She gets really pissed if I buy her anything. I cook for her and that is about all. But I am a very good cook.

I found these beautiful variegated flowers azalea at a publix this past week and immediately though of my Wife and how lucky she is to have me find these gifts for her . My wife doesn’t like plants very much, but I was sure this exotic plant would make her very happy. I only asked of her to let me take of her beautiful plant.

That is a gorgeous flower. I can't even get my wife cut flowers. I can buy them for my mom and my wife is OK with that.

I really wanted to get my wife an expensive Tofukuji pot, but I was afraid she would think I wasn’t being entirely sincere, so flowers and chocolate it was...

We don’t have much...

But that is truly fine, because we put very little value in “things”...

Materials of pursuit, however, we do provide.. as any “monetary input” would eventually translate to these things, anyways. ... or worse, NOT these things.

I bought Andrea (“Muh” as she’s known ‘round the house ) a pack of acrylic paints that she needed. And another installment in a Piers Anthony Series that I won through an E-bay auction.

She gave me a certain monetary amount she had been saving to put towards a “fancy seedling”..

I also cooked... I’m alright

We don't celebrate it. Had it not been for my neighbor who is like a mom to me wishing me a Happy Valentine's Day. I wouldn't have known...totally forgot. I'm all about not needing a Hallmark calendar date to woo me. I think we mutually should show we care through out the year. Not just because we are told too. I've not been shopping since my MIL passed from covid right before Christmas. So I've not seen them pushing it down our throats.

My Powderpuff bloomed a nice full flush for Valentine's Day. So in a way...I thought that was nice. My husband said he talked to the tree to be cooperative. Lol

I just got your post...with "nothing" shared! Bawahahahaha!

I didn't know about this thread yesterday, but you probably wouldn't want to look at my omelets anyway. They taste better than they look. My wife smiles and takes back everything I buy her, but not the omelets...

After 40 years together we rarely do the flowers/chocolate thing. A simple remembrance of the day or time spent together is sufficient. This year we did swing by Plant City and picked up 7 bald cypress for a forest we are going to create together.

I gained massive points last week though when I insisted she buy one of the new Broncos, even though her convertible was still fairly new (we are keeping it as our weekend car.)

I got my wife diamond earrings and I grilled wagyu ribeyes, lobster tail, asparagus and mushrooms. She doesn’t ask...I just do it. She says absolutely nothing to me about time or money I spend on concerts or my hobbies and has planned our vacations to Asheville to coincide with the Carolina Bonsai Expo the last few years. She’s pretty damn awesome..plus she hooked me up with a couple of 18 year olds..

Did she pick out the Oban?? Awesome score.

She got me the 14 year old for my birthday and knew I liked it..so she saw the 18 and grabbed it. She’s also bought me Macallan 15 fine oak.

 

[coachspinks]

She is a keeper! A love for fine spirits is one of my top 2 "addictions."

That Macallan is a great one. I finished a bottle far too quickly.

When I read this I thought you had 18 year old twins, lol. Didn't pay attention to the picture.
