I still have my ex’s bathrobe that he grew out of, and that was two exes and over 10 years ago. It’s a lightweight flannel that already had a slightly worn texture when he gave it to me but that literally has not changed in the decade since. It’s not that “plush” stuff that gets weird and chunky within a few months, and it’s not that super thin knit that gets holes within a few years. It doesn’t have any of those whisps of thread that people like because they’re soft but that get caught on calluses and hangnails and drive me insane. It’s a horrible shade of dark green / navy plaid when I normally go for a more boho / mystical look but I would 100% perform magic spells in it anyway because it is that fucking comfortable. I’ve considered getting it embroidered just for some extra rizz but I worry it would get scratchy. 10/10 would steal from my ex again.
I have a plushtoy and some coasters my first ex made. I dont really miss her (she was mean), but it was real good stitch quality.
I have the habit of cleaning the place on a Saturday morning from my last ex. Not really a gift, more of a curse, but her I miss.
