Sharing a little happy Valentine presents (and story) for him and her.
I started a "wish list" at our local boutique recently for my dear hubbles, Mr Bcat to get ideas for gifts because with his low vision and color blindness, gift shopping most anywhere (even online) is difficult and being able to actually surprise me when it comes to gifts has been nearly at zero percent for over 9 years now...
At the same time, when I was looking online at Tiffany, I saw some pretty homeware items and decided I wanted to get him some nice glasses for his whisky collection to replace the "ok" set he has right now. So I ordered some glasses at the store to be delivered and gave a different number.
At around the same time, but after I had added some items to my wishlist, Mr Bcat goes to the boutique unbeknownst to me to check my wishlist and do some Valentine shopping. The helpful SA discovered my separate accounts (my wishlist and my purchase account) and offered to combine them for him.
My effort in sneakiness was nearly undone!!! Luckily, Mr Bcat isn't overly curious (unlike some others of us...) 
and did not inquire further. (whew...as that is not the only item on my purchase account... )
So Valentine's Day comes around and we both bring out blue bags. A big one for papa bear and small one for me
(And that's when I found out about my new combined account!) 
I got him a set of Elsa Peretti Thumbprint glasses (and some small batch local Bourbon) in a size good for sipping his favorite bevvies and he surprised me with a pair of the 8-9mm freshwater pearl earrings. I have a smaller pair of pearl studs about 6mm, but this has a much better presence on the ear.
them to bits! So happy he picked them out!
Thanks for letting me share!
The thumb just fits it! (But it is right handed only!) If you are left handed, your first finger fits it....
close up for size (pardon the little burn on my finger. Being a glassworker it is a professional hazard...)

What pretty earrings. Pearls are so classic too, timeless elegance.
we have the opposite issue. It’s too hard for him to surprise me! I work from home so always see packages. For scarves, I always know what’s coming, if not when because I have to pick those out...so I finally found something he can just run with on his own.
