SrA Jeff Campbell 221153 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>So here is what I am wondering? How many guys or gals for that matter, you start into a relationship....things go well...You go out and you buy that one special gift to impress!!! What was it? Did you have to save for it? Did you ever get the gift returned back to you? Did you ever regret that decision? THIS SHOULD BE GOOD!!! 2014-08-29T08:45:21-04:00 SrA Jeff Campbell 221153

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I met my wife on a Friday and bought her an engagement ring the very next day. Dropped about 5 paychecks on it.<br /><br /><br />Just kidding. That was actually like 2 years later. As far as gifts....flowers, candy, just the usual type stuff for me.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I had a boyfriend who was so hot it made me stupid so I bought him a motorcycle. I didn&#39;t have to save for it but I did have to sell it. <br /><br />Well actually...I made him pay me back for it...and then I sold it...and then I broke up with him. <br /><br />Bad boyfriends have to learn lol.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Well you kind of have to know your partner and have the balance of knowing and being spontaneous. Pat was my first true love and 7 years later still is. When we got married I had to fly to San Diego for training. She flew in to see me once or twice. <br /><br />She loves flowers and jewelry. I got her a gorgeous ring for near-clearance price with a diamond that changed color from green to purple depending on how the sun beamed on it. It was spontaneous and she was ecstatic. Other time I ordered flowers to be delivered at her job site from 800-flowers. She didn't expected them and was 'star of the day' at work. So be spontaneous sometimes!

I don't regret that decision and on every holiday, every birthday I can say that gift is so valuable that its a reminder this is a gift for life.<br />Pic1 is the Gift, Pic 2 is that gift today.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Can't say I've ever regretted anything I've bought my husband, but he has managed to almost always outdo me. Although I did buy him a short cruise for New Year's Eve once. OK, maybe that was for both of us.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>For our 5th wedding anniversary, I bought my wife a apricot colored toy poodle (she always LOVED toy poodles). That dog was her pride and joy! She still says it's the best gift I ever gave her! (and I've been trying very hard to top it ever since, haven't done it yet and we've been married over 30 years! lol!)

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>A small box of Fig Newtons. When I started my 20 year nightmare with the woman who shall not be named, I think back to a question I asked in 1993.....What can I make you for breakfast? She said she wanted Fig Newtons (later she said it was a test) because NO ONE keeps fig newtons at the ready. I went to the store and got the fig newtons. Apparently, that was the way she determined that she could manipulate someone into getting what she wanted. I can't even look at fig newtons anymore.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Once upon a time I gave my wife a ring. It IS a Diamond and Ruby ring in a gold setting and she loves it. I did not have to go into hock for it, but it was fairly expensive.<br /><br />However, the way I gave it to her was even better. She had always wanted to go up on a hot air Balloon so for our Anniversary we went for a balloon ride. It was in Williamsburg, VA and the day was beautiful. Of course any good Hot Air Balloon ride starts very EARLY in the morning so we had to be there to meet and see the inflation at 0600. That was an hour from where we lived so it was very early to start. The entire ride lasted well over an hour and about half way into it, I got down in my knee and asked her of she was happy married to me and she said yes, so I asked her if we could continue and slipped the ring on her finger. She was amazed and cried. <br /><br />This was our 10th Anniversary and this is still the ring she wears every day and smiles when she puts it on. (This year is 38.)

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Well, this one time...<br />My husband told me he liked spicy peanuts, so...I ordered, and had shipped to the door, like 30 lbs of hot peanuts. <br /><br />He was very careful, from then on, to express what he wants.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>As far as material possessions go - <br /><br />I gave my husband a new camera last year for his birthday. Only problem is that it is nicer than my camera...<br /><br /><br />Best gift (or one of them) I got from him was a Roomba vacuum. That thing is amazing. I get home from work, and the house is freshly vacuumed by itself (which is good because we have a German Shedder)

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Just prior to our 1 year dating anniversary I had the good fortune of being in San Francisco for a conference. On one of my short conference days I went into Chinatown and began looking for a gift. I came across a beautiful black pearl pendant and also a set of black pearl earrings. I looked around the store some more and then left to check out some other stores. Every other place I looked in Chinatown didn't have anything that caught my eye the way that pendant and earrings did. On my last day of the conference I went back to Chinatown and the owner of the store remembered me looking through the window at the pendant. I asked her how much for the pendant and when she told me and I said for that price she should throw in the earrings as well, a little haggling back and forth until we came to an agreement and out I walked with both of them. On our 1 year dating anniversary I took her to our favorite Turkish restaurant and right before dessert presented her with her gift. She was floored! She wears the pendant and earrings for special occasions and our date nights and I am blessed to say she also allowed me to make her my wife and we will be celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary next week.
