What is the most thoughtful present you have ever received?

I was very pleased with my 60th birthday gift this year. My 3 DDs had been for a photo' shoot and presented me with a beautiful framed print of the three of them and two other prints of different photo's. Considering how much the two eldest hate having their photo' taken I was very moved.

DH designed (with the help of the jeweller!) a lovely diamond ring for our ruby anniversary (I don't like rubies)

DH and I both have August birthdays and we decided this year that rather than buy "things" we would have a short break in France - which we both love and have visited numerous times.

My birthday took place whilst we were away and I opened the cards I had taken with me plus one DH gave me and we went out for our usual wander around the village. On return to the apartment I found a beautiful arrangement of roses waiting for me - ordered online by DH from a local French florist. So unexpected and so pretty and I love roses!

DH asked me one year what I wanted for Christmas, told him anything with diamonds. Christmas morning was presented with a small box like parcel, opened it to find.........a pack of playing cards!!!

When I opened the pack he had cut out the middle of the cards and inside was a gorgeous ruby and diamond brooch!

Oh gosh durhamjen you are absolutely right It was for my birthday last year.

Didn't he buy you a car at one time? Where's that on the list?
