    Never. We don’t even get each other presents for birthdays or Christmas. Saves us both from stressing about what to “buy someone who has everything”.

      Same. We go away, or have dinner somewhere nice, enjoy each other’s company. There’s just no point with presents - if either one of us wants something, we already got it for ourselves. I think it’s lovely that some couples have special talents to make or craft things for each other but we’re not those people.

    Probably every other time either of us are in the grocery store. Might be flowers for either of us, might be a food the other likes, might be something odd to try together.

    Maybe once or twice a year, but not on the dates we’re “supposed to”. Mostly at random times throughout the year whenever I’m thinking about it.

    Learning that my spouse prefers Lego over flowers was an important moment in my marriage.

    I get them presents to celebrate big milestones in our shared life goals, and I write them letters (with paper and pen and all that) on anniversaries.

    My spouse and I have talked about love languages, and we agree gift-giving is our least favorite. So, we don’t do flowers often. In fact, I bring her flowers in Animal Crossing more often than in real life, which is more of an act of service.
