The Most Wonderful Surprise

I hate surprises, but my husband loves them. Now, don’t get me wrong, I know his heart’s in the right place. It’s just that I’m a planner, and I ALWAYS overprepare, so when he doesn’t give me warning that we’re about to do something special… I guess it throws my Type A personality out of whack. But that was until last year, because even I had to admit that he planned the perfect surprise for me.
 
It was on Wife Appreciation Day—which I had never even heard of until last year. He told me we were going out to a fancy dinner at our favorite restaurant. (I thought THAT was the surprise.) But at the end, he pulled out the most beautiful gift box… and on the inside, the most beautiful gift. 

 

 

Ugh, I still get goosebumps when I think about that moment. The watch he’d picked was stunning—flawless in every way. But the engraving was the real star. He chose a little inside joke between the two of us that never fails to make me smile. Everything about that surprise was incredible. In fact, I’m actually writing to personally thank Treehut for helping create one of the sweetest moments in my life—you guys are amazing!

It’s so great to hear stories like this from our community! If you missed Wife Appreciation Day this year, don’t get down. We believe everyday is a fantastic day to show appreciation for the wonderful women in your life, whether it’s a sister, mother, friend, or wife. (And don’t forget yourself, of course!)
