    My boyfriend gave me, for Christmas, an engagement ring with diamonds forming a heart. It was SO romantic and very very special.

    The most romantic gift my wife ever gave me was a stuffed bunny on Christmas Eve 1977 when she told me she was pregnant with our first child. Our daughter is now married, and most recently she gave birth to our first grandchild, a healthy baby boy.

    The most romantic holiday gift ever was from my husband and it was a pearl and gold bracelet. I love it and wear it whenever I can as it is beautiful.

    Most would be that our daughter was born 17 yrs ago on Valentines day and he bought me a red silk nightgown to wear in hospital

    My fiance at the time painted a wonderful portrait from a picture of us at the beach. It was awesome and romantic.

    A yoghurt maker. Not romantic, but he went to over 10 stores to find it.

    A gift pack which included a card, chocolates, shirt, stuffed animal, and music gift card. It was very much appreciated and heartfelt.

    50 pounds of lobster tails that were in our freezer – not seeing a present under the tree, I was wondering what happened when my husband handed me a romantic clue to a scavenger hunt which led to many romantic spots before I eventually found them. What a great Christmas!

    My favourite Holiday is Canada Day and always has been. We have a big party every year. 2 Years ago I got the best present ever when my now husband proposed. As we were watching the Fireworks he said “you are so special I’ll get you fireworks every year on this day lol”
