My Sweetie Was Completely Surprised!

It is very difficult to shop for my Sweetie since he usually buys whatever he wants. But today he was totally surprised.

Yesterday I sent him this email: "Hi Love, Tomorrow around 10:00 AM be ready to go with me to a special place."

If it hadn't been snowing heavily, I would have led him a merry dance all around town. But since it was, I opted for the direct route. But I did employ some subterfuge by pretending that I was looking for a store we had never been to. Finally, I told him to turn into the parking lot of House of Lights.

After we were greeted by Susie, I turned to him and said, "Merry Christmas! Pick out a lamp for your office."

Now this may not sound like a great present but I wish you could have seen the look on his face when I suggested that he look at the Holtkoetter ones. These marvels of German engineering are truly amazing. Click here to check them out.

He thought I meant a desk lamp so he was surprised again when I told him to look at floor lamps. Then I decided to give him both. He was delighted. Later he said that it was a great surprise. As he said, "You really got me this time."
