My husband is the kind who gives gift on no occasions, but gives a lot of hugs and kisses instead of material things on birthdays or anniversaries. One time he gave me a shawl from his recent trip to Zamboanga, and it’s really a surprise. Maybe he got the idea in the internet that cashmere gifts for wife is one the sweetest gesture a partner can ever do. Sometimes he would bring me new jeans or tops from his recent trip but don’t expect that to happen all the time!

So when valentine’s day came, I know I would not be getting anything from him, He already knows am contented with notes of iloveyou’s. I sent him greetings online with a scrapbook of the family and I got no reply. Thought maybe he was so preoccupied with work. When he came home I saw that starbucks mug that looks personalized – so funny that he printed the scrapbook of us that I sent him in the afternoon and he knew automatically what to do – place it inside a mug and gave it to me as his valentine’s gift!
