.....do you and your lovely give each other little presents when it's not a birthday or christmas?
Have you ever received an unexpected gift from them through the post?
What has been the most unusual?
I was once sent a bunch of bananas. ( plain brown wrapping )  |

There's a guy runs a business cutting out names from sheets of wood. Recently he's been busy making up JanetJohn (or whatever) names which he then cuts in half.
Men and women being deployed overseas take the bit with their partners' name on it with them when they go and, on their return, the names fit together again perfectly.
It's a lovely modern version of the 'broken token' idea and a beautiful gift for someone left behind. |
