Yes, flowers are always lovely. A dd once gave me 3 months of Bloom and Wild - they come in a flat box through the letterbox and were always very fresh and lovely.
A very different ‘best’ present was when dh found online copies of 2 treasured books which my mother had unthinkingly got rid of shortly after I went off to university and she was de-cluttering prior to a move.
One of them was an already old and long out of print book given to me by a grandfather in the 60s - published pre 1900, so I was amazed when dh found an identical copy - it could almost have been the same one.
Good old abebooks! - that was where I think he found both of them.
Another from dh was my first pair of lovely sheepskin house boots from Celtic Sheepskin - wonderful for winter - but in that case I’d left a printout on his desk, with size and style clearly circled, to save him racking his brains about what to get me.
