an older friend in her 70s, discovered that her husband has never really noticed anything much - unless he was VERY interested in it. He also likes to be 'MADE A FUSS OF'- sadly - without much reciprocation.
SO - for the past 15 years, she has been giving him the same handmade Valentine's card - carefully replaced in the same envelope each year. It goes on the mantlepiece for a few days - then she carefully returns it to its envelope - to give it again next year!
The trick is - she says - to keep to minimum detail - this has a heart which states'I love you' - and 'to -----' inside.
Great recycling .......................and he has not noticed.......yet!
