Big surprise
A big (thoughtful) surprise that can be useful but doesn't have to be. I think the word 'big' is a bit much, too. Bigger is not always better; just show me that you were thinking of me.
Something useful.

I'm sure I wouldn't mind something useful, but I'd hope it wouldn't always be something that's necessarily useful. But I also don't really like surprises..... I like knowing things.
A big surprise is what I like. It's not fun to get practical gifts from my guy. Do I need more socks sure, but it's a lame gift. Things like cards, or homemade candles always make my day. When I give Matt a gift he loves and didn't see coming heir makes me smile. That to me makes it worth it!

Neither! It just has to be *romantic*!
A big surprise! 'Something useful' is handy but maybe not as special or as thoughtful and I don't think it would be as memorable.
Something useful
something educational
Big surprise is good. But I love something useful or maybe I can take it anywhere with me . So I can, well , see it and image I m seeing him
A combination of the two. Obviously
When he listens to my hints and buys something I really want :)
A quien no le encantan las sorpresas??? Yo disfruto de las cosas útiles porque puedes demostrar cuanto te gustaron ... Ahora las sorpresas duran mucho mas tiempo, el recuerdo siempre estará presente, son como in regalo eterno
Something useful!!!!
BIG SURPRISES
I think both. Something useful is good because it would remind you every time you use it how he gave it to you. Surprises are also amazing too.
