Gifts For Your Husband Who Has Everything

The Christmas season passes so quickly, doesn’t it? Many years ago my husband and I realized that we weren’t taking the time to really enjoy the season as a couple. Christmas would come and go and we hadn’t really taken time to enjoy our own decorations or spend time with one another. It was then that we began exchanging gifts for the Twelve Days of Christmas. Here’s how we did it – we would purchase small gifts for one another and beginning on December 12th, we would sit near the tree and exchange one gift each night. Sometimes we’d enjoy a Christmas treat as well. We lingered. We listened to music. We talked and laughed. It seemed to stretch out the holidays for us and it was wonderful.

We considered picking up that idea again for this year, but as I thought and thought AND thought about what I could get him, I got frustrated before I even started shopping. Then I came up with another idea that was even better than the original plan!

I wrote a list called The Twelve DATES of Christmas on my phone, complete with emoji’s for each one. Then I sent the list to my husband as my gift to him. He LOVED the idea! These dates will give us time together, allow us to do a little shopping for one another, but in a simpler way. This will also create some fun memories. If this sounds like something you and your spouse would enjoy, I’ll share part of my list today, and other ideas in a post to come. Here are my first suggestions. Perhaps these will get your mind to working about dates of your own!

Get creative and enjoy some fun, memorable times as a couple. When you come up with some other great ideas, come back and leave a comment to share with us!

Enjoy Twelve Days of Christmas!
