Oh no, trust me.  He has a zillion pictures I have given him lying around.  Want a little story? 

When we were first dating he was telling me how he once bought his ex a "beautiful" rose dipped in real gold for Valentine's Day.  She thought it was terribly cheesy and laughed at him, devastating him.  I told him that while I agreed with her that the gift was a bit cheesy, it would have been nice if she pretended she liked it.

Fast forward this past March.  Our 5th anniversary.  I purchase DH a large flat screen TV for our bedroom, as we were always forced to watch downstairs due the small size and strange angle of the small one we had up there.  This is after a 40th bday gift of a signed football from his personal legend.  Anniversary arrives.  Nothing for me.  No card.  No present.  No flowers.  Nada.  Let me preface this - he knows full well I like anything from David, he knows the name of the website, and he has many photos I have given him of things I like in various price ranges.  That night we have to go to someone else's party where he works.  At 10pm I turn to him and say "Really?  Not even a card?"  He excuses himself, and returns 20 minutes later with a card he has just printed from his computer.  The next day, when I express my, um, surprise at how he has noted the occassion, he insists that something is coming anyway.  At least a week passes.  The doorbell rings with a package.  I open it.  What is inside?  A rose dipped in real gold.

I rest my case.

GL I remember that!!! I will admit that is one of the MOST memorable stories and I told my husband that in hopes that he doesn't do that as I'd kick his you know what!

Omg GL! It sounds like your DH and mine were cut from the same mold! At least it wasn't the SAME rose he gave his ex! DH has done that to me!!

We were watching the Food Network one night about a guy who makes gourmet ice cream and sells it online. I must have made some comment about a neat flavor or something because my birthday gift was an ice-cream maker attachment for the kitchen-aid mixer. I don't eat ice cream very often at all. DH eats it every night.

However, a few days before he gave it to me, I apparently went on a rant about how appliances were NOT gifts for me. Maybe if I were a chef or if I really loved to cook I would like appliances for gifts, but that's not the case. I can buy my own coffee pot, thanks! Anyway, I also got a gift certificate to a day spa, purchased the day of the rant.

*sigh* Gotta love 'em though!

Every now and then though he will surprise me with a gift that I actually like.  

Ace you better have tons of single brothers! I think many will be lining up!

oh, no.  i just looked at my last sentence (question) and realized the answer.  didnt' quite mean it that way!

Nice! I like it!!!

They look wonderful together!
