Warms my cockles

That feeling you get when a loved one suggests something exciting or provocative

"he warms my cockles when he suggests we take a trip to jizzneyland"

warms the cockles of my heart

pleases and delights in a warm fuzzy way
it may be an old English casual term

When you paid for my lunch with that big smile it warmed the cockles of my heart!
It warms the cockles of my heart to hear you speak so kindly of your sister.
