A gift of appreciation : a heartfelt surprise
I will definitely get someone a gift this year because he deserves it for being a selfless and caring man. That person is my husband, since we got married and had kids, he has always been putting the kids and myself first, he doesn't think about himself. It is just one of the reasons I admire and love him. However, I often wish he would also consider himself.
Since we got married I haven't seen him putting on any jewelry, not because he doesn't like it but because he prioritizes other things above himself. He always looks good but I feel there is something missing, something that when he sees it, he will know that he is loved and appreciated.
This year I decided to surprise him by getting him something that he can always see and remember how much he means to me and our family. I have been thinking what to get him, maybe a wristwatch or a bracelet, a symbol of his style. I understand that he’s not a "natural" target for it, and will be boycotting any of it that I see, for the sake of a dignified minimalism.
To get him a gift is both emotionally and joyfully fulfilling to me. I remember on more than one occasion when he needed something, but instead of buying them, he spent the money on something for the kids. He always says, “The children come first. While that’s admirable, I think it’s time for him to have something just for himself.
He will be traveling soon and I hope I'll be able to get the gift for him before he travels. It is a modest gesture to let him know that he is cherished and loved, not only for being a great husband but also a great parent and an unselfish person.
It has been difficult keeping this to myself as there is nothing we don't tell each other, but I have to keep it to myself and surprise him. This gift is not just about the item itself. It’s about the message behind it. I need him to understand that despite putting everyone first, he also deserves to be taken care of, because he is a wonderful husband and father.
Yes, this year I am going to present my husband with a gift. It’s my way of saying, “Thank you for being you. I can't wait to see his reaction and tell him that, in this family, he is important too.

It is good for him to understand that loving his children also means caring for him and occasionally giving himself a present because he deserves it.
Surprises are nice and I'm sure he will like your gift.
Yea, I'm sure he will. Thanks for stopping by.
