Men, you don’t need to have money to give your wife a great gift for any occasion. It is funny because my husband feels that he has let me down because we can’t afford nice gifts right now well I am staying home with our kids. Here is the thing, there are many gift options that mean more than an expensive gift…RECOGNITION being a big one. Here are some ideas that I feel would be great gifts and would make me feel that my husband recognizes all I do in a day.
• Take the kids out for about 3 hours one evening and buy me some bubble bath and a candle. Set the CD player and the candle up in the bathroom. Leave me a note that says “Thanks for all the hard work you do around here for me and the kids. Please take some time out for you and relax.”
• Wake up in the morning and make me breakfast and after was the dishes without being asked or huffing and puffing while you do it. Then tell me, I did this gesture because I love you and wanted to do something nice.
• Do the laundry one day. This means folding it and putting it away.
• Give me a 20-30 minute massage and don’t expect sex afterwards. Give me a good book to read and a candle afterwards to relax and have some Mom time.
See, this is not hard to do and not expensive. The sad thing is that most men will never think of this and it is not fun to ask for a gift to get one. So I guess I will have to wait until we are rich.
Now back to the laundry and dishes!
