OK, I know how that title sounds but this does not include any sort of item you get at an adult store. A very personal gift can be something you know your significant other dearly wishes for, but hasn’t bought for himself.

In my case, this special gift would be a grandfather clock. My husband grew up going to his grandparents house and playing in front of this large grandfather clock. Anyhow, unfortunately there was a fire many years ago that destroyed part of the grandparent’s house, and turned the clock into fire wood. It turns out, his grandparents were going to leave the clock to him after their death, and ever since he found out he’s wanted to get a clock like that as a memory of his childhood.

I’ve been poking around gathering some information, because although I don’t mind the thought of an old fashion clock as a furniture piece, I do mind some of the designs. I’ve been trying to find a clock design I can agree with, but that is still close enough to the one on the old pictures gracing our scrap books.

I’d rather get him an antique pocket watch, because it is clearly more compact than a grandfather clock, but I know what he’s really set on having. I considered it as a wedding present, but then decided to keep it shelved for a while. I’m now thinking it may look nice with a pink valentine’s day bow! Maybe next year. I’m still trying to read up on it more on Grandfather Clocks Blogs.
