HAHA That is soooo the truth! I can not tell you how true that is for us. We started out our lives being young and having no money at all and not really knowing what to get eachother but somehow finding something thoughtful enough and we ended up where we are now married for almost 4 years been together almost 7 years total and we are constantly asking eachother what we want for holidays and birthdays but usually end up going on the practical side of things
I love it!

Even though we’ve definitely strayed to more useful gifts (and we’re already more practical than most), I like to think that a comfy couch and a stream of movies is still kind of romantic! - RA
