    why not have a luxury pampering and make over day where you get spoilt and have a portrait done at the end of it when you are looking super glamourous
  • I personally favour a nice trip away somewhere, but if he insists on a keepsake how about a nice piece of jewellery?

    There is always something someone wears be it a watch, necklace, earrings etc.

    a ring / bracelet?

    Or if you're serious about the new body, you could always get him to book 10 or so sessions with a personal trainer :p

    my hubby bought me a piece of the oldest fossil on earth a beautifull amber pendant,it always feels warm to the touch, when i play with in times of boredom or stress, it looks stunning with whatever i wear, but at the end of the day i guess it is because he chose it himself that it means so much.
