Flowers. I think flowers make a person feel adored. I do like potted flowers, though; no sense killing some flowers over me; I'll plant them in the garden and enjoy them over and over.
Texas gal, I think your button says it best. It's the gift that keeps on giving. personally I love scented candles. They are decorative and smell fresh.
One of the best birthday gifts I have ever gotten couldn't have cost more than $20/25. DH (eh fiancé at time) went out and bought me a bath set, and when I got home had our tub all ready and bubbly for me with a basket of all kinds of fun girly soaps and lotions and such. And afterwards he gave me amazing sex... lol. For me this tops jewelry and flowers.
Of the choices - flowers. The best present would be a day to do nothing. You vaccum, you do the laundry, you do the ironing, you clean up the loo, you do the shopping and so on ......... BUT I EAT THE CHOCOLATES!
