I do it, too, but it's not limited to a (romantic) SO.  I do have
a number of Others who are Significant in my life, and I keep my
eyes open for things which would interest them.  It's rewarding
for me, for the reasons detailed above.  I get the double reward
of anticipating their delight in it, and thinking of them and
how special they are to me.
	(I found a birthday gift for one of our crowd on
my last business trip.  Since it was produced in the area I 
was visiting, my friend was pleased, not only with the gift
itself, but with the knowledge that I thought of him when
I was away.)
