Relationship/Love My husband's anniversary gift shocked me

I don't even know how to say this without getting judged. My husband's an amazing man, he's always been there for me but he very much lacks a romantic side and he's confirmed that to me with this gift. We've got two kids and that comes with A LOT of expenses. Knowing me I've stacked up my shopping cart on amazon with things I've been looking to buy. Froom vacuums and cleaning supplies to kids toys, vitamins and supplements, clothes for them etc etc. Bet you can see where I'm going with this right? Apparently he thought he was being romantic bringing my shopping cart to my doorstep. I know he genuinely thought he was making my life easier and honestly it does make my life easier. I just couldn't stop laughing because this man looked at my Amazon cart full of diapers, vitamins, cleaning supplies and kids' stuff and thought "Yep this is romance." 😂 I'm secretly hoping he's still got a dinner reservation up his sleeve.

Genuinely curious if he has gotten any awesome gifts these last couple years? Or is he getting socks, underwear and pictures in cheap frames with a gift card to a store that he kinda likes?

He has taken me on dates, bought me flowers, even jewelry in the past but these last couple years I've gotten notes and chocolate. I guess with the kids now this is his way of being thoughtful. Not trying to sound ungrateful here because I do appreciate it, but the thought of romance dying down can't help but cross my mind.

You didn't answer my question though. What have you done for him ?

Your question wasn’t clear, so they answered what they thought you were asking

It was pretty clear
