To ask what are the most thoughtful things people do for you?

[NameChangeCity123]

My husband got the baby up, ready and took him a walk today so I could have a lie in (He's dressed him in his pyjamas but it's the thought that counts 😂)

What are the nicest things people do for you that make a difference?

Whenever I visit my elderly parents, wearing my leather boots, my dad always polishes them for me. He used to do it when I lived at home, and I find it to be such a sweet gesture.

We have a double garage I hardly ever use it for my car it's a pain in the arse.

Every morning when it's frosty DH will defrost my car before he goes to work. Sometimes he will go out at night a put it in the Garage.

DH wakes me up every morning with tea and pills, to make sure my day starts right.

Cups of tea every single one is so appreciated.

DP brought me a bacon sarnie in bed this morning

Cup of tea brought to the bedside practically every morning for over 30 years.

Too many other things to list. I realise I'm very fortunate and I do reciprocate.

DH cleans my wellies!

DH cleans my wellies!

Awww these are all lovely 🥰

When people give birthday or Christmas presents that have obviously been chosen really thoughtfully.

DH bought me flowers last night (he never ever does) as we had to say good he to our lovely poorly dog.

Also cup of tea every morning like some of the previous posts.

ps I bet the pyjamas are cute ☺️

Funny how so many of these are about hot drinks DH always leaves the perfect amount of ground coffee in the filter holder thing, with my favourite mug, ready to go in the morning if he’s up ahead of me.

He travels a lot for work and he always orders me a box of chocolates to arrive on his first day away to get me through the more tiring moments with the DC.

This isn’t a regular thing but one of the most thoughtful gifts I’ve ever received: DD (7) made me a advent calendar and behind every door was something lovely she had written: ‘you’re the best mummy in the world’ ‘you mean the world to me’ ‘you’re the only mummy I could ever want’ and so on. It’s still on my bedside table and I think it will stay there for ever more!

I love that @EishetChayil. I don’t have either of my parents around any more but sometimes MIL or FIL do something that makes me feel really looked after. I imagine that’s how you feel too with your Dad.

My best friend drove me and baby DS to a hospital appointment this week as I was so worried about it I knew trying to park would have got really stressful. My DH was working. She came right into the hospital with me, found out where I needed to go and got me sat down with the pram before going back to sit in the car.

Nothing.

Definitely cups of tea. My husband is very thoughtful in lots of ways but I always smile when I see he's popped my pyjamas on the radiator when he runs me a bath.

Since Christmas I've been ill and not able to work ( I'm self employed). Both my mum and my aunt transferred me some money "to keep things ticking over" so I didn't have to rush back to work before I felt completely better. I had a proper ugly cry at that.

My boss
When my pet died he gave me the next day off after I came into work. He took one look at me (my whole face was swollen) and sent me home again
When I came in the following day he went out and came back, put a Starbucks coffee and muffin on my desk and made me cups of tea all day without asking or saying anything

When I am stressed dh buys me a magazine and some chocolate and runs me a bath with bubbles and candles..
He makes me a nice tea from scratch every night too!!

This made me emotional! So lovely. Cherish these memories

Dh makes me tea/coffee despite not drinking hot drinks himself.

Not sure I’d count dh getting up with our baby to give me a lie in as doing something nice for me though. Isn’t that just being a parent?

My partner is the least romantic fella I’ve ever known,but once a fortnight he will buy me flowers
He knows the ones I like and will get me them-he can’t wait for daffodil season

I was once sexually assaulted at work and my in laws heard about it
They sent me a lovely card,full of loving words and support
I cried my eyes out

When we go to my mils or she comes to us,she will always make me a cuppa first thing

I adore her

What a lovely boss! Not everyone understands the grief of losing a pet.

A cup of tea most mornings when he's up before me

@aweebitlost he is. I found out early in the morning and rang in hysterical and he told me to go do what I needed to do, and that the first day was practical stuff and I needed the second day to cry when the shock would hit (trying not to be too outing but think very large pet that you sit on!)
He also removed all the photos I had up so I didn't have to come back in and look at them and told everyone not to ask how I was unless I brought it up

I don't do Christmas presents with friends, we stopped doing that years ago. However, 3 of them, none of whom knows the other, all send me something on the alternate years DD is at her dad's, so I have a little Christmas even though I'm by myself.

My DH is actually really thoughtful. I forget it sometimes.

He will pay me random compliments, on things that really matter to me, he says it in such an observational way, so matter of fact, it leaves no doubt as to the fact he really means it.

He'll go out to buy me ice cream/chocolate/random other item I declare I absolutely NEED at 9pm.

If he's up first, he always brings me a coffee in bed (work day or weekend) this works both ways, but it's so appreciated when he does it, cause I'm rarely up first.

He'll say "you stay in bed" to me at a weekend when I go to get up, to give me permission cause otherwise I'd feel guilty (nothing to do with him)
