A friend reminded me that the best gifts don't usually cost a whole lot...
My hubby and I were out shopping with the kids when we decided to stop at an inexpensive sit-down restaurant for dinner. (This is a very rare treat for our family.) Hubby and the kids stood around waiting for a table and eventually ordered dinner while I finished up the shopping at one last store.
When dinner finally arrived, the waiter placed a steaming, cheesy bowl of French Onion soup in front of me. I love it but never order it when eating out, because it's so frivolously expensive. My husband ("He Who Does Not Like To Spend Money") knew how much I loved it and just ordered it anyway.
I keep thinking about that small gift; it cost less than $5.00, but it means so much.
It means that he cares enough about me to listen.
It means that he cares enough about me to remember.
It means that he cares enough about me to surprise me with the unexpected.
This is just a small part of how he shows me he loves me. And that is the best gift... Not the soup, but the love.

What a thoughtful gift for an amazing husband!
