What was the last gift your dh / other half bought you?

Do you ask for things? The reason I ask is that my bf has bought me sets of underwear the last 4 times. 🙄. I know I should be grateful for a present at all but underwear wears out and I have very big boobs and often he gets a slightly too small size. For example he'll get me a 32E because it's the biggest they have but I need a 32G.

I would much rather have jewellery - doesn't have to be expensive!! I don't have much at all anyway do anything like that would be nice.

I've spent a week full of cold. In that time I've made several visits to the supermarket and consistently forgotten to buy tissues.
DH came home and bought me a box of tissues.

The fact he'd thought about it and gone out of his way to buy them for me really touched me actually.

A personlised cushion and a perfume ❤

Most recent present was flowers and chocolates for Valentines. He is pretty good at getting me nice presents to be fair, although he's also one for buying me underwear on a regular basis! (Not as my only present though, I also get clothes, chocolates, jewellery etc.) At Christmas I got some sporty Calvin Klein stuff rather than frillies, which is more up my street. Hope you were able to take the wrong size underwear back and swap it for something you could wear at least?

A bunch of multi coloured tulips and a new kettle 🤔

ravenmum · 26/02/2019 15:16

Bottle of port

A box of Ferrero Rocher for Valntine's day.
Our 49th Valentine's day together so thank Christ no more red, scratchy, nasty and wrong sized undies as was so beloved of my teen/young adult boyfriend of the 1960's.
He's now my lovely pensioner husband with good taste in chocolates. Grin

A fancy new slow cooker, because he broke mine when he last used it and felt guilty! (It was already broke!) Grin

LordPickle · 26/02/2019 17:43

Underwear here too. He knows I love Victoria's Secret so he buys me stuff from time to time.

A tiny china hedgehog from a charity shop.

Ruru8thestars · 26/02/2019 18:05

Last thing was a pair of Australian opal earrings, before that a jade necklace. He has good taste and never buys me underwear.

itsbritneybiatches · 26/02/2019 18:15

Mine never buys me underwear he tells me to buy something I like I gives me cash in hand lol!

Last thing he bought me was a cheap key ring in a heart with a key cut out but missing and he has the key key ring ❤️

wishywashy6 · 26/02/2019 18:34

Last gift was a 90 min deep tissue massage as my back had been aching, and a new purse!

OhDearGodLookAtThisMess · 26/02/2019 18:37

Flowers.
Pale yellow roses.

Abouttimemum · 26/02/2019 18:41

Flowers for valentine's.

Amazing maternity jeans for xmas which he did off his own back as I was moaning about going to need some! And some Vans and an ed sheeran album I'd asked for on my little ideas list I write. Oh and a fluffy dressing gown I hadn't asked for but now I live in ha. He never buys me underwear because neither me nor him have any interest in it!

Shookethtothecore · 26/02/2019 18:44

Dh has never bought me underwear he wouldn’t know my size so wouldn’t bother. He has bought me 4 pairs of identical pjs for the past 4 mother’s day but tbf my son picks the same ones every year as “mummy likes those ones she wears them” 🙄
For my birthday dh got me comedy tickets for someone we both like

bagsofbats · 26/02/2019 18:45

A stand up paddle board ( for birthday and Xmas).

WontLetThoseRobotsDefeatMe · 26/02/2019 18:52

A bar of fruit and nut, tinned peaches and custard. I'm poorly.

NotSoThinLizzy · 26/02/2019 18:53

A tattoo for valentines day 😂 it wasn't his name or anything like that

lanclass1 · 26/02/2019 20:05

A pair of trainers that were 50% off and my favourite colour. He ordered them as a surprise which was so lovely

Northumberlandlass · 26/02/2019 20:07

DP buys me lots of little gifts....fresh flowers most weeks & last week a book I was looking forward to reading ❤️

Gillian1980 · 26/02/2019 22:24

Last week he got me 2 bottles of my favourite perfume, which is discontinued and so he snapped them up when he saw them.

He’s never bought me undies. Usually perfume, earrings or Emma Bridgewater stuff.... he knows what I like and sticks roughly to that.
