Just pause

The lights are hanging, the tree is up, and the glühwein is simmering. My favorite time of year has begun. The month in which you actually tell everyone you love that you love them. A card for the teacher, a rose for M and A who always advise us on the best wine, a nice letter for A who picks up my daughter for tutoring every week and brings her back home. Thanking all those beautiful, special people who make me feel surrounded. And some people you really want to give something beautiful. Something lasting. Something forever. Just like our love. In 2018, it was sixteen years ago that my beloved took my hand. With all the consequences that entails.

Sixteen is my favorite number and he is my favorite person, so that calls for a special gift. I won't reveal what it is, because he reads this too, but it starts with a P and ends with (spoiler: beloved must stop reading) ortuguese…

If you really want to delight someone or give a hint to be delighted… take a look at the IWC website. Because they really have the most beautiful watches. And this gift, this is forever. Just like your relationship.
