    I know what you mean - I like the idea of those jars with 365 little notes in but know that my boyfriend would be utterly nonplussed if I gave him one of those on Christmas morning!

    i think men are just generally wired differently to women - we appreciate the thought more than they do - i think they just judge the item rather than the thought or sentiment attached - they can just look at something and think why on earth is she giving me that whereas we think, oh how lovely he's gone to the effort???
