Not trying to take anything away from your thread, as I think it's a good one, but personally I don't see things such as flowers or teddy bears as particularly sweet. Sure, they're nice enough, but little to no thought goes into them, and they don't really show that you know the person at all.
Back to the point of the thread. Something sweet (apparently) that I bought someone was a replacement of a very very small thing that was lost, but meant a lot to them.
It all depends on what we all consider to be sweet. I thought this was sweet well at least to my daughter. I took my daughter to a minor league baseball game and she brought her wallet when she was 9 at the time. She lost her wallet there with her ID, library card and $32 she had saved up.
She cried to no end and I just told her I'll do my best to try and get it back, frankly I thought this was going to be a lost cause. I called the stadium and described the wallet and what was in it and secretary in the office excitedly told me she might have something like that. So the next day I acted liked I had no idea they might have her wallet and I just told her I'll we'll just stop and see if it could possibly be there.
Well we went to the stadium and Sandra brought out her wallet with EVERYTHING still inside! Only a couple other times I've seen her so happy once when she caught a 5 and half pound bass. I told Sandra to please acknowledge the fan or fans on how nice and sweet it was to make this child so happy with the return of her wallet.
Peace

never been around for a "sweetest thing" but the sweetest thing i ever encountered was a few months ago
i locked my keys in my trunk, and i left my wallet in the car. my car was parked right in front of baskin robins so at one point i got so pissed cause i couldnt break into my car that i just threw my phone at the tire and walked away screaming "all i FUCKIN want is mint chocolate chip with whipped cream and i dont even have my wallet!!"...literally 90 seconds later my girl comes outside gives me the biggest fuckin cup of mint chocolate chip ice cream with whipped cream with sprinkles and cherry...so i said to her "well i get the cherry because thats something extra sweet and its something you would do but why the rainbow sprinkles? im straight"...hahaha anyway 2 hours later got my keys out, 2 months later started an on and off relationship with this girl that should be completely "on" once school starts again

Oh christ no, the possibility of anything else was suggested, tested and discarded a long time ago. Just good friends

This is gonna sound like im full of myself but im not really, lol. I'm just chuffed with a present I gave my better half once:
I bought one of those mini toy amusement machines with a battery operated grabber in it. and I got 24 kinder suprises and ate the chocolate off them all. THEN i took the plastic cases from the kinders and wrote a memory inside each of them - one for each month we were together at the time.
She then had the fun of using the grabber to read each of the memories:)
Man, I got sooo many brownie points that day:)

Sure. If Soulsinging was here, he'd probably call you and her some very mean names. I'll settle for saying you're both in denial.
Not in denial at all She knows damn well that I had, and still have to some extent, those kind of feelings but I've no desire to act on them. Didn't work out the first time and I'm not a fan of sticking my finger back in the plug socket (no innuendo intended).
If soulsinging was here I'm sure he would and, as I always did, I'd probably agree with him but tell him to be nicer about it, the bastard

haha talk about good timing. When I walked in the door my son was on the phone ordering pizza and (not so good)wings...I told him to cancel the wings because I stopped on the way home...all is good now in rollercoasterville
If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

hehehe... nothing is more tragic and less sweet than bad chicken wings! AMEN!

Oh yeah - I forgot that theres poor souls in this world that have never experienced the kinder!
The Kinder: A plastic egg wrapped in lovely milk/white chocolate and inside the plastic egg is a fantastic toy you get to put together all yourself! Yumm!
Thanks, I was fairly chuffed with it I must say!
