Okay, this is going to seem weird. I promise it's not. lol. So I need a gift for my partner. I want something that tells him I'm thinking of him, shows him I care for him, but also makes him smile and laugh. I think THIS would be perfect. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016YOF07I?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_3&smid=A2HPCTZPCCVCQP
Yes he would wear it, now hear me out. lol. I made sure adults can use it. Also, he used to have a ducky one. He's really fun and goofy and a free spirit. He is sarcastic and witty and great to be around. He also has a very soft and loving side. He collects action figures and movie memorabilia. We got together in 2013 after I left an abusive marriage. I left in May and met him in July so I was very scared to date, but he insisted he wouldnt do anything less than be committed with me (saving me from the bad mistake of friends with benefits which is so not me lol) because he really saw something special in me. I am his first and only love and we dated in August. I got pregnant in December and he stepped up and accepted me, the baby AND my two kids from my marriage as his own. He constantly sells his belongings to help pay for things for the kids and to pay the bills. I worked and went to school full time, then I just went to school but he got us our first apartment with some help from my student loans because he insisted he could not live apart from his child. Totally out of the question. This from a guy who thought he never wanted kids. He works 60 hrs per week for us and he gives all he can. To give you an idea of the shit he's put up with here's a quick story of my crazy:
We met and I was a mess from my abusive ex who lied constantly, cheated, walked out on me while pregnant, etc..so I didnt trust anyone and I was emotionally fucked to say the least (excuse my language). So, this wonderful man one day was visiting me and my children. He left late around maybe 3am. He had taken the bus or biked it to my house I cant recall. So thats one way...then he went home..so thats a 2 way trip (this is important). I got upset Pmsing or something having an emotional scare and walked in a thunder storm at 3:30am and called him telling him I hadnt wanted him to leave but was scared to tell him to stay. He came back but hated wet clothes so went home to change. Now hes come to my house, from my house, to my house, and from my house again lol and its like 6am. He changed and came back...but I fell asleep. Youd think it ended there, but, no, no, I am needy as hell. So, I wake up and call him sounding sad but he is already at his stop (to, from, to, from, to, from so thats 6 now lol) So he just says, seriously? but after asking if I will fall asleep again or not he comes back and not only that but he brings me tamales and while I cry like an emotional nut job he tells me Im amazing and its not my fault and hes not mad at all because Im perfect. lol. So there you go. This is a guy who walked 8 times in the rain for me from 3am-8am and I owe him something. He took in my kids and I and he loves us as well as he knows how and hes not perfect but he tries. He was actually completely perfect but stress you know it happens. And why a penguin hat? Because he had a ducky hat like that and he always tells me he loved it and wants another, but also we heard about penguins when we were dating and how they are often monogamous so we decided we aren't awful humans we are now penguins. We even have matching ipod covers of penguins from when we started dating. He bought me an ipod for our first ever Christmas together, before he had to support us before I took all his money. I was upset thinking what a material gift without much sentimental value, until I lifted it up and a note was underneath. He told me that he knew I told him music calms me when Im upset and he wants to be a part of that. That he hopes when I listen to it I think of him and he can be a part of that comfort. Am I not lucky or what? So anyway this guy is perfectly amazing and he is working his butt off overtime and overnights for us. We have 15 month old, a 3 1/2 year old with nonverbal autism and a 5 year old hyperactive but helpful child. With him selling all his things for us all the time, the least I can do is try to get him something that says, hey, I still love you like yesterday, If you're a penguin I'm a penguin (play on a movie quote, har har) and I want to make you laugh even when our bank account goes negative and we have two kids vomiting all week (yep...lol). So that's why. And it would mean the world to me to win this for him. On top of all this, he in convinced I am the only beautiful person in the world and I am too good for him. Go figure. Thank you. :)
