I agree Angela.
I've been watching my 22 yr old son make special gift tags, scour the city for particular books and CD's and thoroughly enjoy spoiling his girlfriend who is younger than him and tends to flip it all off. She told him last weekend not call her sweetie cause it's too metro and embarrassing. My older daughters watch him and say they'd love a boyfriend who did those things. His enthusiasm and joy of doing it is sadly starting to wain.
I still cherish the handwritten notes and tear stained love letter from a younger man I had a relationship with a few years ago. I'd come home from work and he would have called in and filled the house with little bunches of wild fressias that grow on the side of the road. He'd carve words of wisdom and sayings into pieces of wood (was a boat builder) and put them in my letter box.
For me, it was the genuine little things that meant so much.
