She's Never Bought a Toy in Her Life. Her Drawer Tells a Different Story.
She's Never Bought a Toy in Her Life. Her Drawer Tells a Different Story.
I was at a women's networking event recently when one of the women casually dropped something that stopped the conversation cold.
She told us she has never bought a toy.
Before I could gasp with disbelief, she finished her sentence.
She has a drawer full. Thanks to her husband.
The room reacted exactly how you'd expect. Laughs, questions, and more than a few people quietly reconsidering their own situation.
He Just Pays Attention
What struck me wasn't the drawer. It was how she talked about it.
She wasn't embarrassed. She was glowing. Because it wasn't about the gifts themselves, it was about what the gifts said. That he pays attention. That her pleasure matters to him. That he shows up for her in ways that go beyond the obvious.
She mentioned she especially loves getting them on Mother's Day.
Someone needs to high five that man.
The Part Nobody Talks About
There's a version of this conversation that feels awkward or complicated. But sitting in that room, listening to her talk about it, there was nothing awkward about it at all.
It was just a woman who feels genuinely cared for by her partner. And a partner who found a way to make that tangible.
That's a pretty good gift, honestly.
Your Sign, If You Needed One
If you've been thinking about it but talking yourself out of it, consider this your nudge.
You don't need to have it all figured out. You don't need to know exactly what to choose. That's what we're here for.
Mother's Day is just around the corner and you've still got time to make it a special one.
Head over to the special Mother's Day collection and take a look. Something in there will feel right.
