Memorabilia makes a great present.

Looking for something wonderful and different to get your partner? Well a great idea that is outside the box is to get them an autograph of their favorite star. Be it a sports star or an actor a framed picture with that person autograph is sure to please. This is usually something that someone might not purchase for themselves. This would be the kind of treasure that really show that you know them well. It doesn't have to be an autograph it could be another type of collectable like a disney cell from a cartoon. You can even have a star named after them or purchase a brick with their name on it to be placed in a public place. Another sweater would be nice and appreciated but an autograph of their favorite star would surely shine more.

Johnny Bench is my favorite baseball player of all time. He is a class act and still a role model to this day.

Here is a quickie that will be a wonderful event between you and your partner. Find some cushions, bean bag chairs, or even a blanket, and on the next clear warm summer night head outside. Arrange whatever sitting or laying device you have brought out and position it so that you can gaze skywards without straining your neck. Also, make sure that in this position you can touch or hold your partner. Then simply relax and enjoy the greatest light show in the universe. This is a great stress reliever also as it seems to put some perspective into your life. You could even brush up a little on your astronomy or even purchase a book showing the constellations so that you and your partner can enjoy trying to point them out to each other. If you have a quiet back yard, you might even bring out a little mood music or even just a taping of a waterfall or rain. But, first and foremost relax, take your time and enjoy searching the cosmos with your love.

Not a night person? You can do the same thing during a warm summer day, but instead of stars use clouds. Point out clouds and what their shapes look like to you, and then see what your partner sees in the same cloud. It is quite interesting to see the differences in your ideas. Don't be afraid to involve your children in this too. I love to hear the perspective of a young child, and this will bring you closer as a family, which will bring you closer as a couple.
