Daily Frugal Valentine Gift #1: His Dad's Ring

dealtown — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:20:07 GMT

User SofiaR says: "My boyfriend gave me a ring that is way too big for me. But it's not that he didn't take my ring size into consideration; the ring he gave me was his dad's. His dad died four years ago. When my boyfriend put the ring on my finger and told me to keep it, I asked if he was sure that was okay, and he told me, "Dad would have loved you. Wherever he is, he's stoked for you to have his ring." Nothing my boyfriend could have spent money on could be as meaningful as this." (Comment on this post if you'd like to vote for SofiaR's ring as today's best frugal Valentine's Day gift!)
