The Perfect Gift

I have to agree with the coupon book. I gave my boyfriend one for his birthday and he loved it. You could put in what ever you want. I used Microsoft Publisher. It is easy and does not cost a thing. It tells him how much thought and effort you put in.

WELL THATS GOOD U HAVE A GOOD MAN IN YOUR LIFE NOTHING SAYS THAT I LOVE U MORE THAT A ROMANIC NIGHT AWAY WITH HIM A NICE NIGHT IN A HOTEL WITH CANDLE LIGHT DINNER IN THE ROOM SOFT MUSIC AND NICE WARM BATH TOGETHER BUT THATS A PERFECT I LOVE U GIFT

How about giving him a handwritten card or letter telling him al of that, in your own words. And include a coupon or two for something you are willing to do for him. Maybe there is something that he would like for you to do with him sometimes, but you are usually not anxious to do it? Also coupons for things that he might enjoy but that you all don't do on a regular basis, something that you can do for him that makes him feel special, maybe a coupon for breakfast in bed, a foot massage, a back rub, a dinner for two served at home after the kids are in bed, ... These are just suggestions, you know your husband and when you think about it you can probably come up with things that would really mean something to him. Offering something that is individually meaningful also shows that you really considered him and thought about him when getting/making his present.

I have received little coupon books like this, from my husband and also from my kids, and they mean so much more to me than receiving something that they just plopped down some money for. And the best part is, when I use one of those coupons it offers me some special time with the giver, and that is the stuff memories are made of...

I give my husband a home made coupon book every year. He loves it and usually runs out of coupons by Feb. LOL! I put things like foot rubs, wash the car, mow the lawn and some little intimate ones too. He loves to read what different things I think of each year and it doesn't cost a dime. They are fun for him to redeem, and sometimes me too. LOL! Good Luck!

Hi L.,

I would see what his interest is. If he into Golf, get a lesson with a Golf Pro. Believe me he will love it. Or get something that like to see you in, (for example a favorite dress, outfit,) get your picture taken in it and give it to him. then spray the package wrappings with your perfume that he loves smelling on you, he will always have your scent imbedded in his memory. Also have the kids make him something that will always remind them of him. I know any parent loves it when their kids make something from their own imagination that shows them how much they love their Daddy. Happy Shopping.

what about some personal golf lessons?

What kind of things does your husband like? Is there anything he collects or talks about alot. Men throw out hints too they just aren't as blunt as we are, lol. Good Luck and just remember it's the thought that counts and as long as you get him something from your heart he's sure to feel it too!!

What about telling him exactly what you said in your post, but hand written on a nice card or stationary? Pair that with some extra love and attention, and a small gift you know he will like. My beau is very successful, (and given me a happy life too) but a gift like that would mean the world to him.

I ran into that problem myself one year and what I did was, went to a store called Things Remembered and got a picture frame and had it engraved with "We're Thinking of You" and put a picture of My son and I he keeps it on his desk and has that constant reminder how much I love him. Not sure if he is able to do that or not

Last year I went to all of my husband's favorite places. Batting cage, golf course,etc. and got girt certificates and stuffed his stocking with them. He really liked it. It wasn't off the wall incredibly expensive but he loved it.
