Probably the most unusual gift I was ever given (I'll probably tell y'all the story of it one of these days) was two 5 pence pieces. I've got them somewhere (can't see where at the moment as my office in the spare room's a bit off a mess at the moment - I'm in mid "spring clean" mode  :laugh:) in a frame, mounted on a red velvet background. It's quite a long story, so it'll have to wait for another day, but it's a nice "Aw...nice!" kind of story.

Most romantic gift.........an ex of mine and I were both Brokies, and he had 6 pieces of ceramics made.  Two large dinner plates, two coffee mugs, and two candy dishes.

They were covered in quotes from the movie, and had a cowboy hat in the center.  He also had our pet names for each other put on the pieces.  He's gone, but I still have my set.

 :laugh:

Not a gift, but a romantic moment I had with another ex was a very nice and sweet Valentine's night dinner, and a long walk through The Village, with him holding my hand.

;D

My hubby once made a scavanger hunt for me for my birthday. My birthday is in January, and we both still lived with our parents back then, so it took place in his room, but was pretty difficult. He had collected more than 20 of those capsules where you kept films, before digital photography.

He gave me the first, nicely wrapped, and I thought my present would be in there. Wrong. In each capsule was a hint where to find the next one. For example a few crumbs of fish food, and the next was hidden behind the aquarium, stuff like that. In the last one was a tiny key, which belonged to his briefcase, and in there was my present, a new jeans jacket.  :D

I still have the jacket. I've long grown out of it, but I keep it.



The most ugly gift I ever got was a candleholder for our wedding. Candleholders can be nice, don't get me wrong. But that was a hideous thing. It was made like a fake Greek pillar, and parts of it were gold-plated. Horrible, I tell you. :laugh:

Ex or no, I would have kept the set, too.  ;D

I remember a day came when I debated boxing them up, and then I thought:  "I can't get rid of them!  They're Brokie stuff!"
