The nicest thing someone's ever done for meIn amongst all the tales of bitterness and poo, we occasionally get fluffy stories that bring a small tear to our internet-jaded eyes.
In celebration of this, what is the nicest thing someone's done for you? Whether you thoroughly deserved it or it came out of the blue, tell us of heartwarming, selfless acts by others.
Failing that, what nice things have you done for other people, whether they liked it or not?

a few weeks before my last birthday,my wife came into my shop. 10am monday, which isn't unusual. She usually comes in for gas money or to see if we want breakfast. My partner handing me a weeks salary on a monday morning was unusual though. He laughed, told me to leave my keys so he could use my truck for the week, and leave. My wife had somehow gotten my three best friends to take the week off, packed my bags for me and booked three nights in NY, three nights in Boston, and arranged with my family to stay with them for one night in New Hampshire. So my wife, my three friends and I got to watch the last red sox v yankees series in yankee stadium, (where my wife had paid to have "Glen I WIN." put on the scoreboard) watch the white sox v red sox at fenway and be drunk out of our minds for a week. My dad now thinks I'm an alchoholic for showing up on his doorstep 1000 miles away from home hammered, but thats ok. Oh, and my wife is pregnant, so she got to enjoy playing chaperone to four drunk idiots trying to piss off everyone in new england. Apparently they had been planning and saving for it for over six months. I had no idea. Now I have to think of something better than that for her birthday next year.
fantastic. Any ideas?

Being a woman...It's my opinon that women like simple, romantic gestures. Not hundreds and hundreds of pounds (or, in your case, dollars).
One year for my birthday my husband sent me down the pub with some friends and told me I couldn't go home until 9pm. He called me up when I was allowed to go home, then sent a taxi to where I was to pick me up.
When I got home, the entire house was covered in candles and there was an amazing dinner laid out which he'd spent all evening making. There was cold champagne, and romantic music. After desert, he led me to the bedroom where there were more candles (all down the hallway actually, just like a landing strip) and rose petals all over the place.
It wasn't overly expensive, but I will never forget how much I loved him that day!!
Oh, failing that, a diamond ring. Then she'll have to.
