Saying 'thank you'


Question Posted Monday April 25 2005, 9:04 pm


When I was ill recently, I really relied on my partner, and he was wonderful at looking after me. I've told him how thankful I am and how much it meant to me, but I'd really like to show how grateful I am and am really stuck for what would be appropriate. Would a card or gift be tacky/inappropriate? I saw a book I know he'd enjoy, but it doesn't feel quite the right way to say 'thanks' for all that he's done.

Basically, I'm just looking for opinions - should I get him a small token like the book, or is it more appropriate to just talk to him about it as I have been doing?

simple is always best, but if you want to go all the way take care of him for a day be his beg and call guy(pretty woman). If u dont have the time for that get him a bear or something like that but make it a nurse bear or animal.

I think you should go for the book. It a nice gesture to know that someone remembers little things like that when they are looking for a gift.
I'm sure he would like any gift you got him although here are some ideas:
Cook a meal with all his favorite foods, rent his favorite movie and cuddle up watching it for the night after the dinner.

Give him the choice of where to go one day when you are out-- pay for everything-- and make sure he knows its for the thank you :)

Hope those work, and good luck!

I think the book would be just fine. OR you can take him out to dinneR, that'd be nice. And don't Rule out a nice gift basket. All of those things would be geneRous of you, but nothing matteRs moRe, and gets the point acRoss betteR than a spoken thank you. Goodluck deciding =D

I have and idea you could try and would not be expensive at all. Buy a bag of hershy kisses. Then, pick a number that means something to your relationship, his favorite number, the amount of days you have been together, the number of days he took care of you while you were sick, something along those lines. Then, give a reason with each kiss on how much you care about him or a memory you will never forget. For example one kiss could say : "Thanking you for all the wonderful times we've shared, when it seemed that just one thank wasn't enough."

why not try both?! double the thanks! take him out to dinner, give him the book, and thank him with a nice conversation. but really, he sounds like a nice guy so either way, im sure he'd love it.

Hey! I think that getting him that book would be really nice. I think it's really cute when you get them something "just because" or even just to say thank you. A simple thank you would be nice, too, but I think the book idea is really cute. Hope I helped! ♥ Erin
