Love knows no boundaries.  Every now and then, a movie like Sydney Sweeney’s Anyone But You comes along and reminds the mainstream audience that at the end of the day, there lies no emotion purer than love. In the age of modern dating when the Internet has taken over the charm of hand-written letter romance, some of the remnants still exist. One of the most prominent ways of showcasing affection that has withstood the test of the times is the simple act of gifting. Even today, it remains a quintessential part of every culture, so much so that the likes of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian too never shied away from it.

In the near decade of their togetherness, the ‘Flashing Lights’ singer, at more than one point, went all out for his then-lady love.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian: A quick history

“Kim Kardajan”. The unusual pronunciation was how Kanye West first knew Kim Kardashian before meeting through a mutual friend back in 2003. Long before, the duo saw any problems in their marriage in 2016 or even more so when in 2021 they finally split, citing “irreconcilable differences”, they boasted a tale of love. The rapper started dating the socialite back in 2011 and married her in a fairytale lavish and ornamentally decorated setting in 2014 in Italy. However, their story did not just click out of thin air.

In the years leading to the wedding and even weeks into the divorce, Kanye West went all out in gifting Kim Kardashian. Once valued at a whopping $2 billion, the rapper left no stone unturned in literally bringing the best of the world to his lady’s doorsteps. Having four kids together, their lives together once stood as a vibrant storehouse of opulent gifting and showcasing of the grandeur of love.

Among the several gifts the ‘Vultures’ singer showered upon his ex-wife, here are the top five that truly captured his sentiments as well as extravaganza to the fore.

1. Wall of flowers

Eons may have passed but gifting flowers as a show of love has remained a classic since times immemorial. While many would take to a rose or even a bouquet to express their feelings for their special someone, Kanye West went all out in 2014 in literally dousing Kim Kardashian in flowers. The rapper installed a giant wall full of white roses, hydrangeas, and peonies for his then-wife during Mother’s Day 2014. Swayed by it, the mother of then an eleven-month-old North West took to Snapchat to express her happiness. However, West soon topped it up with a couple of thousand red roses sent to his lady for Valentine’s Day, 2015.

2. Hand-painted Hermes bag

A Hermes bag does not come cheap and Kanye West did not put a price tag on love. In 2014, dressed in a plaid overcoat, Kim Kardashian showcased her latest gift from Kanye West for her 34th birthday. Going all out, the rapper gifted his lady a brown satchel Hermes bag, which doubled down on adorability. The white plain canvas of the purse lay adorned by a hand mark and brush strokes artistically weaved by then-1-year-old North West. The gift now holds no surprise for why the mother showcases her daughter’s painting skills now and then.

3. Robert Kardashian hologram

For her 40th birthday, Kanye West brought Kim Kardashian a beautifully thought-out gift. The socialite’s father, Robert Kardashian, passed away from esophageal cancer back in 2003. Using Deepfake and AI, the rapper employed a special message via a hologram that mirrored the late soul speaking. In a brief few emotional seconds, the hologram praised Kardashian for her motherly skills and balance of life. Calling it “the most thoughtful gift of a lifetime”, the wife could hardly hold back her love for West. Meanwhile, the hologram also included a reference to the rapper terming him “”the most genius man in the whole world”.

4. Cartier text message necklace

In one of the most exuberant displays of his creative mind at work, Kanye West engraved a heartwarming text message for Kim Kardashian. In January 2020, the rapper took a vintage Cartier necklace and inscribed a photo of their home and a few lines of text which was an exact replica of one he sent to his then-wife. The lines recalled the media personality’s rise to fame, their four kids, as well as her work related to life after prison. “This your life,” the text read as it showered praises of affirmation and admiration he held for himself and her.

5. A truckload of roses

Perhaps having the saddest story among all on this list, Kanye West stayed resilient in trying to win back Kim Kardashian even after their divorce filing back in 2021. Taking to Instagram on Valentine’s Day 2022, Kanye West sent off a black truck with its back full of roses to his ex-wife’s way. Adding a cryptic message with “MY VISION IS KRYSTAL KLEAR” both on his post as well as the truck, the last two words begged to be abbreviated to KK aka Kim Kardashian.
