We have guests in our cottage for 6 nights. The husband has been working in the Pacific Northwest for almost 2 years now and his wife is back home in Missouri. It's her birthday this week so he's created a huge surprise for her. She showed up at the MO airport not knowing where she was going. Got her boarding pass and that's when she found out she's going to Portland, OR. The husband sent us a package with a different present for each day of their stay. He's labeled each gift with what day of the week I should place it in their breakfast basket. So sweet!
Oh, by the way, this guy kind of drove me crazy with all his phone calls, then driving 5 hours to come check our place out, then arrange for the package to be delivered to us, but it's all worth it. She loves it here and it makes me happy as well. It's a good week for innkeeping.
This is their first basket/gift.

I would have been a little nuts with all the requests also, but when it all comes together, it's so worth it. You will be fondly remembered for a long time, and that karma will come back to you. How wonderful for all of you ♥
 
This old softie would not have minded those kinds of phone calls. What fun.
 
I'm a bit jealous. Just can't imagine DH ever getting it together enough to pull such a surprise. What a pleasure for you to have played a part in such a lovely reunion.
 
I had one this weekend cut from the same romantic cloth. I am sure I was on speed-dial from the get-go, and to be honest even this question was overtly cute:
"Do you have some suggestions for things to do until our picnic and hike this afternoon?" he asks.
"Sure" I say, "What sort of things do you like to do?"
"You know, couples things" he replies.

That's so great! Be sure to get a picture of them with the ring and blog or FB about it.

this is so fun!
One year, I forgot or lost track of time and didn't get DH an anniversary card. I admited it. I went out that day and got 4 cards. All day, everytime he sat at the computer, there was a new card. I did it to make up for not having one when it was needed. He loved it.

We're not big on gifts here but when I booted the computer on our anniversary my calendar popped up and it had 'I love Madeleine' day as the event for that day.

See, that would mean so much to me! He took time and had to think of the idea and then follow through. That means a lot more to me than taking me out to dinner, etc.
