Lists can be romantic. I'm sure that you'll agree with me after reading Eero Saarinen's (the famous architect and designer) handwritten list which he compiled 1954 and gave it to his new wife, Aline, as a romantic gesture. It's a 13-point breakdown of her best attributes which shows how a simple note can make a wonderful, memorable and - in some cases - historically valuable gift for your loved one.
I loved his last sentence the most (even though Saarinen didn't like it):
THAT THE MORE ONE DIGS THE FOUNDATIONS THE MORE AND MORE ONE FINDS THE SOLIDEST OF GRANIT FOR YOU AND I TO BUILD A LIFE TOGETHER UPON (I KNOW THIS IS NOT A GOOD SENTENCE).
