My oldest son was born near the end of October. Coincidentally, I received a $1000 performance spot bonus from work that year, a day after his birth. since this birth was a Caesarian, my wife had to remain in the hospital for the requisite 5 days, so I had the opportunity to pop into a jewellry store and got a string of pearls for her.
She was shocked and cried when I gave them to her. This was 18 years ago, and there was no expectation on her part. Just lucky inspiration on my part.
