    So - with some degree of seriousness to this request - what have you bought (for your partner) or done (for your partner) for major milestone birthdays?

    It really is the thought that counts.
    Gave an oven glove as well once... I just wanted to make sure she wasn't acting pissed off when she got the Dyson... She wasn't.
