|  |     Yup!  I've already told him that no matter what I'd always be there for
    him.  I don't wish that he'll ever need me and he probably never will
    but until he does I must find a way to say thank you.  
    
    Being there for him when/if he ever needs me is a given.

| 412.3 | Couple of ideas | NETCAD::DREYER | who wrote the game of love? | Wed May 15 1996 17:57 | 12 | 
|  | 	To me, that's the ultimate thank you.  There are, of course other ways
	you can thank someone...a lovely romantic weekend away with you
	catering totally to him (if this is a romantic relationship), a
	beautiful piece of gold jewelry that will last forever and remind him of
	your appreciation every time he looks at it, a gift certificate to
	his favorite store, a gift certificate for a massage/facial/pamper 
	session, a home cooked meal of his favorite foods, a donation made
	to his favorite charity in his name.
	Just a few suggestions to get things rolling here!
	Lola

|  |     hmm... A friend of mine has been VERY supportive to me during this
    pregnancy, especially financially.  She doesn't want anything in
    return, but what I did was made up a nice basket with all my own home
    made jams and jellies, and a home made banana bread, and gave it to her
    with a thank you card.  I'm also thinking of surprising her and taking
    her out to dinner.  Might be an option for you?  Maybe show up at his
    house and say "let's go, we're going out to dinner".  Or make
    arrangements for you to meet him for dinner, and slip away just before
    the bill is brought to the table and talk to the waitress and pay her
    without him even seeing the bill??

|  |     Holls...
    
    	IMHO, I think the "homemade" gift-type idea is the best thing
    going! I think it means so much more to someone if the person giving
    put forth that little extra effort to make something uniquely for them
    that no one else could purchase. However, if he's helped her through an
    intensely tough time perhaps something more permenant would be in order
    that's pertinant to their level of friendship such as, say, something
    crocheted, painted, crafted, etc, that'll last for as long as he's
    willing to keep it. I think that'll also re-enforce her committment to
    him to be there for him if he should ever need her as well. I know that
    a lot of things people have given me in the past have helped me through
    some particularly rough times in my life - or even just the memories of
    the gift(s).
    
    	Just my humble opinion, though! Take it for what it's worth!!!

|  |     Unfortunately, not everyone is "crafty", and can make something like
    that.  Personally, I have some crafts I can do, but nothing that I'd
    really want to give as a momentous gift.  
    
    So.. Linda, if you're not crafty (BTW, Hi there!!  How's the
    kitties??), something store bought might be nice.  Maybe a figurine or
    something you know he collects?
