Primer of Love [Lesson 37]
It's not how much we give but
how much love we put into giving.
~ Mother Teresa
Lesson 37) Give your lover surprising
gifts spontaneously --
accompanied with a love note.
A marketing survey showed the top five love gifts to be:
a) a single red rose
b) tropical getaway
c) something from the heart that required extra special thought
d) something handmade
e) anything as long as it is a surprise
Look, a) through d) are all footnotes to e). What makes it a gift special is not its cost but precisely the element of surprise. Breakfast in bed is sweet; your first candlelit dinner is bed, a gift. A cute teddy bear is sweet, a custom teddy bear that looks just like you, a gift. An unemployment check is sweet, a new job sweeter. Every gift should be accompanied by a personally written love note, poem or vulnerable sentiment -- none of that massed produced Hallmark crap.
