[AngelieMumsnet]

Cadbury Milk Tray are keen to hear from Mumsnetters about the most thoughtful gesture you’ve ever received from a partner.

Cadbury say “The Milk Tray man is back! He’s a caring and daring type, thoughtful yet thrill-seeking, and as ever he’ll go to any lengths to deliver a box of Milk Tray to that special lady. So we’d love to hear from Mumsnetters about the lengths someone has gone to deliver a thoughtful gesture for them.”

Has your partner ever gone the extra mile to make you feel special? Have they surprised you with an out of character romantic gesture or gone above and beyond when it came to thinking of a treat or birthday present for you? Maybe they whipped up a special dinner with all your favourite dishes after you'd had a hard day at work? Perhaps they came along with you to see your favourite band, even though they’re not so keen? Perhaps they’ve done something that to an outsider wouldn’t seem like a big deal, but meant the world to you.

Whatever the gesture, Cadbury would love to hear about it!

Everyone who posts on this thread will be entered into a prize draw to win a £200 Love2Shop voucher to spend on a treat for someone special.

Thanks

It's definitely the little things that matter the most, like being able to have a lie-in on a Satuday morning and being woken with tea and a veggie bacon and egg sandwich - yummy.

He doesn't often do grand gestures, but for our 20th wedding anniversary, he secretly saved up and had a set of jewellery made for me. It is beautiful and was such a huge surprise. It's lovely to think that it's unique and that he went to so much effort.

It has to be a little home-made gift from a foster child in my care. She was being re-united with her family. She wrapped up an 'empty' box and decorated it with drawings then told me I must never open it as it was filled with her love and kisses

My friend lent me quite a lot of money so that I could pay my bills when times got a bit desparate and the money had run out.Really appreciate the kind gesture :)

I was very ill last year and DH had to do everything around the house and look after me. He never once complained - when I was back to normal he insisted on carrying on doing lots of the extra chores saying that while I was ill I had also missed out on leisure time so now I had to make up for it by having time for myself.

Taking the kids out for the day when I was feeling ill and bringing food back so I didn't need to cook

When my grandad passed away it was a very difficult time for me & my family as he was such a lovely man, we were gutted as his wife and her family were making things harder. Months passed by and all I wanted was my memories of him and a little flat cap he used to wear but his wife told me she's taken it to the charity shop. I was devastated but at least I still had my memories, a few years later the night before my wedding my brother knocked on my door with a box. I could see tears in his eyes and thought something was wrong, he opened the box and there was my grandads flat cap! He had been to ask my grandads wife if he could have it, it was the best present anyone could ever give me!

My husband running me a bath and cooking me dinner after I'd rang and said I'd had the worst day ever at work.

I was finding that working in our home office (phoning and typing) was making my hands feel cold and stiff. My DH bought me some woolly fingerless gloves completely out of the blue and this helped enormously.

I've since been diagnosed with rheumatiod arthritis and wear them all the time when I'm having a flare.

My now husband made me an advent calendar (himself and from scratch) with an engagement ring inside number 25!

Some years ago I had a lot going on in my life and was running myself ragged. I had to go away for work for a couple of days and a great friend offered to come round to feed the cat. When I got back the kitchen, living room and bathroom had been cleaned from top to bottom, there was a bottle of wine and a bunch of flowers on the table and dinner in the fridge. It must have taken her hours and was such a lovely thing to do.

My aunt helping me out with my passport.

The Snowman made by daughter (aided by OH) that has sat atop of the Christmas tree every year since.

I had been moaning about my weight for such a long time and my partner handed me an envelope with a letter stating that he wouldn't love me any less if i was 20 stone heavier but seeing that I wasn't happy with myself he'd bought me gym membership, and also for himself so that he could support me and spend quality time with me.

We now go to the gym together 3 or 4 times a week, I have lost nearly 2 stone and we are celebrating our 10 year anniversary this year.

The most thoughtful gesture I have ever received was a bag of coal and logs from my lovely granny many years ago
I was young and had just moved in to my new home, It was winter, I woke up to find a note through my letter box from my granny saying enjoy the heat while you are decorating your living room today! (LOOK OUT THE BACK DOOR)
I was over the moon, It was like she had given me gold.

I think the most thoughtful moment for me was when I had a miscarage from my very first pregnancy, I was only a few weeks but there was another person who was also pregnant at the same time. They know it would be hard for me coming back, so they let me have a little bit long time off before I had to go back to work, and a bunch of flowers to make me feel better.

My BF who lives 3-4 miles away, calling in every day after work and at weekends for 4-5 weeks to take my dogs for a walk and ensuring I had everything I wanted. This was while I was unable to do anything due to an operation.

My partner cleaning the house for me the other week. I really appreciated it!

a neighbour ( that we barely speak to ) brought us a cake when I had been in Hospital for a few days. very very thoughtful

my BFF who always offers to look after my numerous pets when im on holiday and always leaving some snacks and milk when I get home xx

My other half is always doing things - They may not seem amazing to everyone else but little things like helping out, going out of his way to make my life easier and bringing me flowers or chocolate on a bad day...

When I passed my driving test he insured me to drive his car the next day as a surprise and that was pretty thoughtful!!

I was incredibly lucky one year when my hubster booked us a surprise trip to Florence, knowing my favourite book / film was "A Room With a View".

a hug from my friends when I needed it most

First of all my husband, he gives breakfast to our DS for school and get him ready while I have a lay in with the baby :) and a cup of caffeine and a little treat he brings upstairs when the kids have gone to bed!

hot bath run for me after netball matches to ease my aching legs

My girlie friends clubbed together to send me some flowers when I was ill with depression. It really helped knowing how much they cared.
