Up till a few years ago, he used to "forget" mothers day, so come sunday morning, i used to hear him speed off to the gas station to buy a plant

plants and flowers you buy at the gas stations here, just show less quality, you can see it's not a florest piece of art, the plants he used to give looked hidious, but i always just thanked him with a smile LOL
For Xmas he makes me go with him to pick out what i want, most times it's Swarovski, and he knows. but most of the time it's a different theme for the year and he wants to make sure i like it LOL
