I think this is a good point to look at, along with AlphaFrog's story about the iron. My fiance (still can't get used to saying that word!) and I have been dating for over 7 years...I also put a LOT of thought into gifts. Last Christmas was our first year living together, and I was so excited for weeks about us doing each other's Christmas stockings. Christmas morning, his was overflowing. Mine had a box of Poptarts. My feelings were hurt at the time, until he pointed out the humor (still, to him only, ha) of my favorite breakfast being the gift. He actually went out and bought them especially for that. I'm likely never going to get a thoughtful or creative present for anniversaries or holidays...but I have a beautiful ring and perfect relationship, so that outweighs everything else to me in the long run.
