Funny Story - DD got a Wii from Santa this year so after Christmas DH and I started cleaning out the tv cabinet to make room for the Wii and accessories. Behind all of the old movies he finds a small wrapped present. He opened it, looked totally shocked and handed it to me and said Merry Christmas 2009. It was a pair of blue topaz earrings that he bought to match the ring he gave me at our rehearsal dinner. He put them there to hide from me until Christmas and totally forgot about them for 2 years. hahaha.
