Valentine’s Day Flowers
This may not be the usual clebrity gossip post, but since it is Valentine’s Day, I figured that I would do something a little different. See, my husband was nice enough to buy me flowers today for Valentine’s Day. It’s not a common thing that my husband buys me flowers so it put me in a rather good mood this morning as the flowers were dropped off at the house.
It got me to thinking though about celebrity couples and how the celebrate Valentine’s Day? Yes, I know I may be obsessed about celebrities sometimes, but it’s just hard for me to imagine Justin Timberlake handing Jessica Biel a bouqet of flowers for a gift. I mean with all the money he has, wouldn’t you think that he would have to buy her the most expensive bouquet along with jewelry, expensive chocolates and dinner at a fanct resturant?
My question is, does it matter how much money is spent on a gift or is really the thought that counts? If your spouse only spent $15 on your for a gift and you spent a couple hundred on them, would that mean they love you more? See, I think that with celebrity couples it would be a constant fight to see who could buy the better gift since they have all that money to spend.
As for me, my flowers are perefect and they are just the right way for my husband to tell me “I love You!” without even speaking a word.
Happy Valentine’s Day
I’ll tell you …
It really isn’t the dollar amount that counts.
It truly is the thought!
For example -
My adorable husband of 28 years, did something totally unexpected.
He REMEMBERED … that my favorite color is pink.
And he went to our local sports and more store - Scheels.
Where he bought me a pink hoodie, and matching adidas beanie.
The hoodie was totally too small -
But you know what?
It was a totally successful gift attempt, because he put a lot of thought into “WHAT WOULD SHE LIKE?”
Believe me …
VERY MEANINGFUL to me after 28 yrs of marriage!
It’s the thought, definitely the thought!!!
That’s so sweet of your husband. I definitely believe it’s the thought that counts. I did a post about this around Christmas time. That’s my problem with these commercialized days. I usually tell my husband not to get me anything since we “treat” each other throughout the year. He always does though… and I’m always grateful for his gesture no matter how big or small.
