Surprise
Something useful. I live in NYC and I probably have too much of everything in my apartment. As I try to get rid of things I don't want anything else material.
I say I don't like surprises but I really do! :)
A big surprise. I can and probably will already buy something useful for myself but a surprise is something that I will always remember. Like skydiving or NASCAR experience. Those memories I will keep forever. Thanks sweetie for such thoughtful gifts.
It depends. There is a time for useful, but giving a surprise gift is just more fun
Big surprise
Surprise duhhhhh im
Not 50 years old. I like to be excited, and better if its a nice surprise :)

Both, useful is always preferred buttt I'm a sucker for huge romantic gestures! Even cheap date nights or gifts can be the bet in the world if they're given with the right presentation.
Something useful, that's a surprise.
I'm partial to big (and little!) surprises. Both sentimental and otherwise.
Surprise. I appreciate all the useful things he gets and does for me as well. He fixes my car even though he hates working on my car now that's love. 😉
A surprise because i can gt myslf smthng usefl but a surprise is thought out and time is spent on it, its somethng that will probably last for ever and it makes the person feel good and loved. A surprise brings with it different feelings and reactions :) if your partner know you , thyll make it stay in ur heart :)

*I* like thoughtful and romantic surprise-type stuff... she likes "practical" useful things. Answering these questions makes me feel so effeminate...
SURPRISE by far. :) and if he can pull it off its even more of a big deal. It aint easy to surprise me so that on its own is a big thing for me
A surprise. To surprise you they have to know you well enough to catch you off guard or make you smile.
I used to get a kick out of saying: Oh! Hey, you'll never guess what?!? (What???) I love you!!!!!!" but now it's hard to catch him off guard....
