The little things in relationships that get overlooked

We had a really good discussion about "What little things can a boyfriend/girlfriend do for you to make you happy", with some great suggestions.
When you've been with someone for a bit, it can be easy to get used to nice things they do, or maybe to take for granted little things that they make an effort with.
Are there things that your boyfriend/girlfriend does for you that you like but don't let them know you appreciate? (do they know ho much it means when they check how you're doing, or buy you little gifts?)
Are there little things that you do for your boyfriend/girlfriend that they don't seem to acknowledge? (do you feel all your little efforts are appreciated?)

This! Same with hoovering.
Also, when my ex used to send me a text saying 'love you' or 'mwuah' with tonnnnns of kisses. I didn't always realise it but it did make me feel special and happy.
That and stroking my feet. It's become habit now, but has magical relaxation powers.
I've found that even the small things like remembering an appointment the other one
has or a deadline at work, and asking them how it went, is a lovely thing to do as well - it's small but lets them know that you listen and care
