I think more so because (warning:humble brag ahead) I have a husband who doesn't treat me special only on 2/14. When it comes to planning, purchasing, surprising David blows me out of the water. While Valentine's Day is usually just reserved for homemade lasagna (by him, not me) and a movie at home this year I wanted to treat him.
So I decided to buy him something he wasn't expecting, an iPad mini. Some could say it was because I wanted possession of my iPad back - and this is also 100% totally true.
In typical Parker fashion I could not wait until Friday to gift him his present. Afterall we don't need a holiday for out of the blue gifts do we? So on Monday he got his very own iPad mini from mini!
So the moral of this story is, buy your man something nice if he always does nice things for you. A little goes a long way. Hey look, I got my iPad back!
I love this and you are exactly right! :) xoxo I'm hoping Seth doesn't get called to work so I can spoil him!
ReplyDeleteSO sweet!! My husband is the same way, and he never wants or asks for anything! I spoil him as best I can, but usually all he wants is pizza and craft beer. haha!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet post. I hope you two have a lovely Valentine's Day. I happen to love celebrating too! Why not, right?!
ReplyDeleteYou've inspired me! We're normally pretty low-key for Valentines day. However Zack is so good about surprising me and doing sweet things, I need to figure out a way to surprise him too. He is very difficult to buy for, maybe tickets to something or a mini get-away?
ReplyDeleteSO funny!!!! Tyler has taken over my iPad, so I feel you pain on this one!!!
ReplyDeleteYou left out the fact that I usually crash your Valentines Day every.single.year. And also partake in lasagna and give you a sussy and your hubby wine! Pshhh #howrude!! Anywhoodles - I bet the money you save by not letting him charge to your iTunes account anymore will pay for that mini in no time. See you in 2 days to crash your lover holiday.... Again! xoxo the forgotten original love of your life
ReplyDeletei am a big believer in picking gifts that will ultimately benefit you. call me selfish, i don't care
ReplyDeleteaw love this! so sweet of you. and homemade lasagna? yummmm!
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet! Thoughtful, surprise gifts are my favorite kind! I hope you two have the best Valentine's Day, you sure do have a lot to celebrate!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great post Laura! Also, from someone who loves love, I too am a fan of V-day.... even if it means sitting on the couch with take out and a glass of wine! :)
ReplyDeleteAwww, you get the best wife award. But then again, he's making you guys homemade lasagna and that's special! I kinda wish I was coming to your house friday night...you don't mind a third wheel, do you?
ReplyDeleteLove that your husband makes homemade lasagna for Valentine's Day! So sweet!
ReplyDeleteYou sound like me! I can never keep things from Kory, so I always end up telling him about something that I have planned or something that I got him. I hope your hubby loved the ipad and you love having yours back!
ReplyDeleteAshley, Married to the Game
Gold medal wife award goes to you! Good job, lady
ReplyDeleteI am the exact same way I can never wait to give someone a present!
ReplyDeleteWe weren't going to do gifts this year but at the last minute I decided to order Theo a new wallet that he wanted. Just a little something. Definitely not expecting anything in return!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo for a great and thoughtful gift, and for getting your iPad back! :)
ReplyDeleteAwww a mini from mini! So so cute Laura! :)
ReplyDeletelove that you didn't wait til valentines day to give it to him! that is so something that would happen at my house too!
ReplyDeleteSeriously I think we are so alike...I definitely can't keep a secret or I'm usually just so excited to give a gift to someone as soon as I buy it. And to find one that benefits you both...now that is genius!
