Does he/she send you something special?

I can remember when he used to send me very special cards home, he would go out of his way to get something special made for the Holidays. One year I received this beautiful huge Garfield card. It is/was always special when he hand wrote a letter instead of typing a letter, to me it was any way, and they were long letters, he used to send poems also,,,those were the days.I love my husband, but I'm not sure any more if I am in love with him. I'm not materialistic, I don't expect high priced presents, but dang he hasn't sent me a leather gift in ages, a poem, nor a handmade card.

I tell him not to send me anything, if he can't do what he once did, like in the first 3 years, at least a poem, I don't need him to buy me a bought card, selfish, maybe, its just not the same as if he send me a hand written poem, or card.

Does your love one send you any thing special for the Holidays????????????????????? If so what?

This will be the first Thanksgiving where we have been apart. On the other hand Christmas last year I was on the inside, so we have already expirenced that one away from each other. Last year I sent my son and husband a Christmas stocking filled with goodies. I was able to get someone in my room to crochet them. So that was pretty cool I thought. He has done things that is not holiday related like having a bracelet made for my son and I. He arrange through a friend of his to have flowers sent to me for my Birthday. He had a wallet made for our son. For what he has in store for Christmas this year, we will only have to wait and see. He always seems to amaze me on doing things and getting things sent to us. If we dont get anything but his love over the phone one night, I look at it as we are blessed.

My bf sends me letters daily, usually hand made cards that are quite elaborate. He also sends hand-made crossword puzzles and mazes to my son to work on. He sends me flowers or a plant monthly with a sentimental card attached. I have to admit that he surely spoils me while behind bars. LOL!

For our anniversary this year James sent me a necklace that says James heart Jennifer. I wear it all the time. James also sends cards with gorgeous drawings on them for every holiday/birthday.

i had to really get on my husbands butt about sending letters. He thought he could just call and never write. LOL. But now he sends me pictures that he draws. And he always writes on them that He loves and misses me. He always signs it. He's a great artist so I love everything I get from him

Also, a couple of days ago My husband sent me a rose that he made out of toilet paper. I have never seen one before. He did a really good job. A while back I was having nightmares about him in prison and he sent me an eagles feather and said it would bring good dream power.

When my husband and I decided to declare ourselves common law married he was a little disappointed that he wasn't able to give me a wedding ring. Then he found a guy inside that makes knot rings out of string.
He had one made for me and I wear it just like a wedding ring. It probably means more to me than the real thing ever would.

my hubby constantly sends me drawings that he does himself,poems, letters every week and calls me every week but recently he sent me a beanie and scarf in which he had made for me to help keep me warm in the winter months(crochet). a piece of him to keep me warm. thousands of miles away on the other side of the world and he still manages to keep me warm. mmmmmmmmmmmmm sweet

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
