Learning that my spouse prefers Lego over flowers was an important moment in my marriage.

I get them presents to celebrate big milestones in our shared life goals, and I write them letters (with paper and pen and all that) on anniversaries.

I am a fan of both Legos and flowers and they have a botanicals series that's the best of both.

Yeah. Lego botanicals are so good!

Never. We don't even get each other presents for birthdays or Christmas. Saves us both from stressing about what to "buy someone who has everything".

Same. We go away, or have dinner somewhere nice, enjoy each other's company. There's just no point with presents - if either one of us wants something, we already got it for ourselves. I think it's lovely that some couples have special talents to make or craft things for each other but we're not those people.

Makes sense, we tend to mostly focus on consumables (usually food or drinks) for presents, even someone who has everything will still enjoy some chocolate

My spouse and I have talked about love languages, and we agree gift-giving is our least favorite. So, we don't do flowers often. In fact, I bring her flowers in Animal Crossing more often than in real life, which is more of an act of service.

Probably every other time either of us are in the grocery store. Might be flowers for either of us, might be a food the other likes, might be something odd to try together.

Maybe once or twice a year, but not on the dates we're "supposed to". Mostly at random times throughout the year whenever I'm thinking about it.

If there was any to give any to, probably once per equinox/solstice.

multiple times a week

I get my wife flowers about once a month

Can't afford much currently, so I try and make special food. Recently it was vanilla ice cream with maraschino cherries mixed in. He's been enjoying it! Holidays or birthdays I'll make tiramisu with homemade ladyfingers.

I offered a rose to my SO last week as is the tradition in Catalunya for Sant Jordi (see !yurop@lemm.ee for more details).

We also try do to a date night (we go out and try to get out of our routine) once a week
