The perfect Valentine’s gift
As much as it pains me to say it because it makes my own gift-giving experiences that much more difficult, I do think there is such a thing as the “perfect gift.” It varies occasion to occasion and with the particular giver and receiver, but, every once in a while, a gift strikes the perfect balance three scales: (1) frivolity, (2) appropriate unexpectedness, and (3) the “treat factor.”
For instance, this year Brett gave to me the perfect Valentine’s Day gift – a madeleine pan.
