What's a small thing that made you feel loved or happy?
Throwaway because my wife knows my other account, although I'm usually a lurker
I (any pronouns) love my wife (she/her) so much, and she deserves the world and more. She's only started transitioning semi-recently, and I'm trying to find little things to make her happy, and so she might feel more like the beautiful woman I already see when I look at her.
Sadly I'm not able to do big things nor can I easily leave the house at the moment, as I'm going through a rough patch with my health.
So outside of telling her how much I love her, being enthusiastic when she shows me her new outfits, treating her like a lady, and correcting guests who accidentally misgender or deadname her, I'm a bit at a loss.
As the title says, what were small things that made you feel loved, seen, or happy that I might do at home?
She hasn't really started experimenting with make-up yet, so I can't get her some nice make-up set. She also told me she prefers picking her own clothes, so that's out as well. And she's neutral about the trans flag, otherwise I'd have gotten her more merch in trans colours.
A couple of ideas I had:
Her ears aren't pierced yet, but are earrings for unpierced ears comfortable sensory-wise?
If someone gifted you something with your name on it, would it feel sweet or weird?
Are there any experiences that are socially seen as "girly" (from a European society POV) that you hadn't done yet but were fun for you to try out for the first time once you were an adult?
(For example, doing each others' hair, getting a toy or a doll you weren't allowed to have as a kid, playing a game that is usually seen as "girly", getting your nails done. ...)
I'm well aware that these experiences aren't gendered, but I'm trying to find things that might give her gender euphoria or simply make her happy.
And do you have any other ideas or tips?
