The most romantic thing my dh ever got me was a real, proper, bent-handled ice-climbing axe.
We buy each other climbing gear all the time, but he doesn't care for ice climbing, and I climb ice so rarely that I don't need my own gear - but he still knew me enough to know I really coveted having my very own Big Girl Ice Gear
