Memorable Valentine's Day Gift - Photo Contest - February 2011

Dear ILites,

I am sharing with you the picture of the valentine's day gift i received from my loving husband. We got married on Jan26th and the valentine's day fell within few days of our marriage. The gift which i still cherish is a beautiful Titan watch. It was a surprise my DH gave me on a romantic dinner table. I find it so special because i never had or bought a watch for myself. Its the first watch in my life so far. I Proudly wear it daily which brings me wonderful nostalgic moments of our happy romantic dinner.

I tried to capture the picture with some romantic look by placing the hearts (amigurumi) & roses (crocheted) made by me. Hope you liked the presentation too.

I thank Malathy & IL team for providing this wonderful opportunity to share my cherished gift with a wonderful nostalgic moment.

Thanks for joining me.

 

HI IL'tes,
Am here to share my Romantic story.
'Same pinch' Mimur9, the gift is quite similar to what you got, ofcourse with a different mood!! Do read on....

A Long story...........but Happy ending :thumbsup

The first V-day- 9mths after our marriage.
I was quite thrilled coz i actually had a Valentine!! But then wasn't expecting much as my DH had said it loud and clear (at the very beginning) that he doesn't like the whole idea of V-day and also doesn't have a habit of gifting on occasions. He had said he would rather buy a gift when he feels like gifting........The mood was even sad as it was his Grandmother's Death Anniversary- which is an annual ritual at his place. Its a whole day affair, which means no dinner, no outing nothing. How complimenting isn't it!!..........So by now you know....all spirits low and i wasn't expecting much. Honestly...nothing :thumbsdown

He generally takes the day off for the rituals and he was at home. He borrowed my bike (Honda Activa) keys saying a reason and was away for a couple of hours. House chores and guests kept me occupied. Then evening i was serving coffee to guests and DH returns the keys and asks me to check the bike. Now am wondering what could have possibly gone wrong?? I didn't take it seriously and later in the evening i went to the garage and thought would go for a drive and i happened to open the compartment below the seat to fetch my scarf.......................and i didn't believe what i found!!! A V-DAY GIFT................mg:!!! i was jumping with joy :queen!!

It was an elegant Titan watch (i had showed it to him on one of our outings and had said i did want to buy a thin non-black strapped watch).........and see what i got!!

He had been thoughtful enough to buy me a gift....and i gift that i did love.
4yrs now and i continue to wear the same watch. I love my gift.
Of course he is more precious to me than anything else :thumbsup!!

Cheers!

Dear ILites

I am sharing hear my gift from my ILite friend Ganges. I will treasure it as a Valentine gift from her as this was given by her in this month. I had gone to Trichur for an engagement. From there went to Vaikom to my sis in law's place. I had told Ganga in advance that I will be coming to Tripunithura where my another sis in law stays. She was very happy to hear that and told me to inform her when I land there. On 31st I had gone to Tripunithura to see my sis in law and family and phoned Ganga and told her that I will be coming to my sis in law's house to stay on 1st Feb . She was very happy and told me to phone her when I go there on 1st Feb. On 1st Feb when I phoned her she was very anxious to see me, though I told her I will come to her place on 2nd Feb. It was so nice of her to visit me in my sis in law's place with her husband and that too in the night time. We were so happy to see each other and she was telling me the next day that her dh was saying I did not feel that both of you were meeting the first time . You both we talking as if you know each other for ages she was telling.

On 2nd Feb I went to her house in the morning after going to the temple. She gave me yummy adai with chutney . I told her I like pickle very much, she gave me a packet of pickle also but so sad that I forgot in her house only.

We had a long chat about IL and other things and I was so glad to receive a jewellery set from her made by her which I will always treasure. I am very fond of jewellery and she was saying she knew that I am fond of it thats why she made and gave me. She also gave Durga Matha , Matha looking so beautiful and also a diya like which has two hands for my dh. I have kept the Durga Matha in my God's stand.

Hi all,
Just happend to see this competition and wanted to share one of the best surprises my dear husband had given me last yr.we both have been showering with gifts and surprises on and off on our b'days and anniversary.This one is so close to my heart as i was surprised with the gift he both and the way he unfolded it.Here goes the story....

My husband's work demands frequent tours to other places which at times r very lengthy(1-3months).In the 1st week of jan last yr he had to rush to Delhi and told me he is not sure of the date he would return back.(It didn't sound wierd as most of the time its like that).Later i was busy with my work at school, that i kept note of dates.It was sunday that day i woke up lazy as i was so tired with school work and the social activities at our campus above all i was fed up of loneliness for almost more than a month.
In the evening went as usually went to fetch the weeks grocery,then i noticed that the shops and small make shift shops on the pavements full of bouquets,cards and red heart shaped hoardings,i felt so bad that i hadn't wished my husband on 'The Valentine's Day'.Thinking to call once i reach home i returned and called him and wised him and had a casual talk.
At about 8'oc i was abt to prepare dinner, i hear my door bell,wondering who would it be at that hr i opened the door and to my surprise it was my husband.:wow:wowI wasn't in the wildest of my dreams was expecting him,He handed me a card and my fav pastries and kulchas(stuffed bread)which he picked up on the way to home.After some :kiss, he rushed to freshen up,i was busy making some soup to add up with the food he bought home.By the time he changed i set the table for us with steaming mix-veg corn soup,kulchas and pastries.
He comes to me and puts a small box with a neat blue satin knot in my hand. I eagerly opened it and it was a beautiful pendant and eat-rings from 'Swarovski'. I had tears of joy and said "you r the best thing i could have asked for on this day and ever".He says that he wants the "Seventh Valentine's Day" after our marriage to be memorable with something i always wanted.And said that its all planned as his return from camp was on the same day which he was aware before he left.
Here i share the beautiful gift my husband gifted me last Valentine Day.I always thought that he is clueless in selecting jewellery,which he always claims.
