What means more to you?

Is it the big things your spouse/significant other does for you? Like gifts or expensive dinners? Or is the little every day things like opening your car door (for the girls), reaching out to hold your hand while you are walking, leaving you a note in the kitchen or car? Personally, I like the little things my husband does best. The note in my car or on the kitchen counter in the morning, cutting flowers from our garden and bringing them in for me or taking the kids outside so I can have a little quiet time inside by myself. What do you think?

I also love the little day to day things that my husband does for me. Taking walks at night, giving the kids their baths, buying me a chocolate bar when he senses I am stressed...the list goes on and on. I would much rather have the every day gestures than once in a while a big thing. The little every day gestures reminds me of how lucky I am to have found my husband.

its the small things that make me feel very very special, like the way my girlfriend sings me songs, puts me to sleep, cooks for me and tells me bedtime stories :D Actually all the things i bought out would just be a drop in the bucket because besides this she's done so so so so much for me, like during my birthday where she baked me 2 cakes !! And then showered me with birthday gifts. Imagine waking up every morning the week before your birthday having a gift waiting for you to open ! How cool would that be ?? And then the most important thing that she does is gives me a sense of security that no matter what happens she will be there there for me when i sleep at night and that when i get up in the morning she would still be by my side !! What more could any man ask for ! I have a wonderful awesome girl and im really lucky ! Thank you God !!

As much as i like to tease my boyfriend about expensive gifts n all, these things really don't matter to me. i don't think he knows this, but its the little things he does for me, (like saying the sweetest things ever, always being there to listen to me and advise me on stuff) that makes such a big difference in my life. :)
