If you had had a crappy day, what small thing would you like your partner to bring home with them for you?

Also - thing not action.
And dinner is already taken care of!

Bunch of daffodils or cheap flowers (eg £2.49 in Lidl ones) bar of chocolate. I brought dp a danish in

Chocolate but, since I'm on a diet, probably 2-3 bunches of daffodils. It has to be at least 2 so they fill the half of a vimto bottle vase.

I always try and bring greggs yum yums or sweets (which I then put in the fridge for him) for my DP.

I've asked DH to pop in to the shops on his way back tonight to get a loaf (saves me a trip!)

I'd like it if he also got a nice bottle of something, or an early bunch of daffs

White wine

GeneLovesJezebel · 16/02/2022 16:06

Prosecco and chocolate for me.

A great big bear hug and a bar of fruit and nut

LoopyDream · 16/02/2022 16:14

Nice fruit like cherries, a magazine and a bubble bath

Cake

lalafam · 16/02/2022 16:25

Prosecco and toffee popcorn 😂

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 16/02/2022 16:29

One of the nicest things i think DH did was bring me a bag of fresh prawn crackers home when I had a migraine. (Local supermarket had a Chinese takeaway counter...)

Otherwise a little lego set. At the moment, the kego Sunflowers which appears to be out of stock everywhere.

Borracha · 16/02/2022 16:34

Ferrero Rocher (for me)
Terrys Chocolate Orange (for him)

peridito · 16/02/2022 16:35

Lego sunflowers! How lovely.

Small pick me up
SpiderVersed · 16/02/2022 16:36

Daffodils for me. They always cheer me up.

For DH, nice paté and a bottle of red wine.
