D rarely buys me flowers. Which makes sense, seeing as I purchase them for myself almost every week. I get better surprises, like my favorite sliced ham waiting for me in the refrigerator (seriously - this is very exciting for someone who loves sandwiches).
Or this ...
Or this ...

He had a dinner and drinks night recently that kept him out till last call and he was up surfing (despite our great white shark infestation) before I made it out of bed. I generally wake up, brew my first cup of tea and stumble back to bed. During the stumbling part, I saw this little box on my bedside table.And inside ...
{macarons}
I ate them all for breakfast, with my tea.
Better than flowers.
those colors are gorgeous - well done as usual, D! perhaps you could leave him a can of 1960s-batman-style aerosol shark repellent in return?
ReplyDeleteyes, better. james has been having a lot of early morning surfing expeditions lately too. no sign of macarons though...hmmm.
ReplyDeletegolly sakes. you're a lucky lady.
ReplyDeleteoh yeah...way better than flowers!
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Much better than flowers.
ReplyDeleteTastier than flowers, too! Lucky lady.
ReplyDeletehe is good! little gestures are my favorite.
ReplyDeletethat's easily one of the sweetest gestures of all time. so simple and pretty.
ReplyDeleteohhhhhhhhhh, so sweet - i love surprises like that better than flowers (which i also buy for myself)
ReplyDeletecuuuuuuute.
ReplyDeleteAwwww
ReplyDeleteTalk about sweetness? Love.
That is so sweet– I love little gestures like that. And what beautiful colors!
ReplyDeletethey are gorgeous, and easily the most perfect gesture ever. especially the fact that he left them for you to find when you woke up. so sweet.
ReplyDeleteD's a keeper. ;)
ReplyDeleteAwww <3
ReplyDeleteoh that's some serious goodness!
ReplyDeleteD is the big winner. I so prefer picking my own flowers to having blooms bestowed upon me.
ReplyDeleteMacarons are my favorite! What a thoughtful guy you have.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah. Totally better than flowers. What a guy ;-)
ReplyDeleteAren't the simple gestures what life is all about!? The sliced ham is better than any bouquet!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I thought, wow, what a beautiful box; that'll be some really nice jewellery. But no. It was way better than jewellery, and better than flowers also! Gorgeous!!
ReplyDeletewhat a fantastic way to wake up. much agreed -- unmistakably better than flowers.
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely present! I have never had macarons. I might treat myself to some on my birthday.
ReplyDeleteoh dear, what a treasure you have there, love :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet surprise! I've been wanting to try out Bottega Louie for a while now. My husband used to buy me flowers but now for our anniversary, he accompanies me to the flower mart and pays for whatever I find. It's cheaper too!
ReplyDeletethat's so sweet.
ReplyDeleteand those are so pretty.
so awesome! absolutely better than flowers. little surprises are the best! lucky girl.
ReplyDeleteaww, what a sweet man!
ReplyDeleteD is the D-man!
ReplyDeletewe *loves* him.
ReplyDeleteperfectly executed, on both parts. xo.
how sweet! in both ways! :) definitely better than flowers!
ReplyDeleteoh this makes me smile, BIG.
ReplyDeleteThat is sweet! Those are not only gorgeous, but they look delicious! :)
ReplyDeleteglad there are others who lose all self-control in the face of cookies. so sweet.
ReplyDeleteOh those colors - GORGEOUS! Sweet :)
