best gift from a s/o?

whats your fav gift that you ever got from a significant other?

are you still with them? if not, do you still use it, even if you are dating someone new? (ex, wearing jewelry from an ex bf .. would you wear it out w/ your new bf?)

just curious

I've received interesting gifts.

But I give better ones

First year anniversary, I got her a brita pitcher.

For her b-day that year, a cordless phone.

Then, anniversary #2, I got her a top-of-the-line blender.

I'm a believer in gifts that have utility

my bf gave me a diamond heart necklace for valentine's day. i love it.
i would never wear something from an old boyfriend while i am with a new boyfriend. to me, that brings bad vibes into the new relationship. i just do not think it is smart. it could come back to bite you in the bottom

I agree i never wear old jewelry from old boyfriends - only when I am single or just keep them in the jewelry box. The best gift I have ever gotten was from my mom lol - my exes really really sucked at getting me gifts....I think I am so easy to shop for. I like certain things and i keep pointing things in the mall or talk abotu something non stop. oh well

My current boyfriend has given me my saphire promise ring and two sets of saphire earrings. (Um, I accidentally flushed one of the earrings from the first pair and had to get new ones. LOL) I wear the ring and earrings at all times. He's given me a lot of really cute gifts, but I don't want to list them all.

I used to wear an ex-bfs ring, but that was waaayyy back in the day. I only wore it because 1. it was beautiful 2. I changed it to my right hand and 3. well, I was single and not getting any cool jewerly any time soon . I stopped wearing it maybe a month or so after we broke up, which was about the time I met my current bf.

In 6 years I've received a lot of gifts. I'm not good at remembering occasions but I do know every gift.

Amethyst earrings (my birthstone), TV, computer, bed, desk, dresser, TV stand, George Foreman grill, waffle maker, crock pot, wok (can you tell I love to cook?), backpack, and so many other things.
Finally, he put the down payment on my car! He's just awesome. I never ask but he just always seems to know. Unfortunately, my car broke down on Friday. Getting it fixed on Thursday.

I got a promise ring from my then boyfriend. I love it so much, that even when we did break up I still wore it (he said I could do anything with it but sell it)... But now I am engage to him, and its still my favorite thing.

My current boyfriend gave me the best birthday gift last year: a black and silver picture frame from Things Remembered with the words "Remember our first kiss" and that date engraved onto it. Then he took a picture of us kissing and had it printed in black & white and placed it into the frame.

It's currently on my dresser, but once we move into our house, it'll prolly go elsewhere for all to see.

My boyfriend gets me excellent gifts (iPod, bracelet, perfume), but my favorite is actually a simple teddy bear. He gave it to me for our first Christmas and I sleep with it whenever I am not with him.

My boyfriend is awesome at getting me good presents . . . things I've mentioned that I want, or that have to do with things I like . . . the best thing besides jewelry thus far was when he got me Final Fantasy XI. He is the best boyfriend ever.

I think I am a pretty good gift-giver. For Christmas in July with my HS boyfriend, I got him the poster for the movie we saw on our first date, and an antique child piano, since he plays the piano. It was like a grand piano, only miniature for a little kid to play, it was pretty awesome. For my current boyfriend, I like to get him little presents randomly, but I think the best thing I have given him would be one of those chair massaging things, because he gets backaches a lot and since we're in separate states right now, I can't give him backrubs very often.

The best thing I've ever gotten was for our 3 month, he welded metal... It had 2 big hearts connected by a smaller heart. One of the bigger hearts had my initials welded out, and the other big heart had his initials welded out. The small heart in the center had 3 welded out for 3 months. I didn't really appreciate it at the time, but now I realize how hard he worked on it, so I do keep it around my bedroom at home.

I've never gotten jewelery from a boyfriend, but the same guy mentioned above bought me some jeans and a nice white shirt for Christmas, and I do still wear them on occasion..it's not obvious he bought them unless I tell them.

For Valentine's day, my bf got me a Louis Vuitton purse and wallet cause I was always talking about them and looking at them online. And we also went to a pottery pinting place and he painted this heart jewelry box in the LV pattern but changed the LVs to LJs (my initials). It took 8 hours in 2 days!!! But everyone who saw it was awwwing and oohing over it.

At PetSmart there's this machine that engraves pet tags. One of the tags is in the shape of a heart. He gave one to me on my birthday that said "keep me foreve" and it's on my key ring. I got him one that says "Guppie" which is my nickname. So he has "Guppie's heart".

For our anniversary he got me an mini Ipod cause I like listening to music and so that I can use it when I go to the gym.

He just does a bunch of lil cute personalized things for me
