christmas gift ideas for husband?

Question

I am pregnant and I cant work. It doesnt make sense to me to buy my husband a christmas gift with money he works to earn. I also dont think it is fair that he is getting me a gift this year and I dont have any money to get him anything in return. So do you guys have any ideas about what I can possibly give him that doesnt require money? I sort of feel guilty that he always works and takes care of me and I can return anything. I want to be able give him something so that he knows I dont always want to receive. I want to give too!

Answer 1

Hi,
You could give him a book of love coupons. There are some on

that you can print and are free.
Some of them include breakfast in bed, a night you won't forget, a massage, etc. You could even create your own for something you know he really likes. Also, you could write in your card how much you appreciate his working and caring for you.
Hope this helps.

Whoa!!!! What do you mean you don't work!! YES YOU DO !! You take care of the home and the family needs--Ever priced a live in maid?? They are not cheap--the money he makes is not just his You are married--if you want to buy him a little something for Christmas then do it--don't ever feel like you aren't worthy to spend a little when its for a birthday or other special occasion --After all you are pregnant --and seems to me you both agreed for you not to work at this time--But if you really are against spending money for a gift--then how are you on cooking?? How about giving him a homemade gift card?? That states you will fix him a great meal of his choice --Or a back rub?? Something that is from you and special--

Answer 3

Your appreciation for all is does is the greatest gift of all

Maybe there is something you can make for him

a special card that gives him a 1 hour back rub by you
or a free night out with the boys or something along those lines

If you write him a letter telling him all that you feel about his support and how proud you are of him these are great things that over time will become special

Love is the GREATEST gift

Answer 4

First off, if you're married, this money is not just "his", but yours too. That said, I agree about not wanting to spend too much money on something he might not like or want. A thoughtful gift need not be expensive. What does he like? Maybe there's a book he's been wanting to read, but haven't gotten around to buying? Does he like movies - you could get him something related to his favorite movie or TV series (merchandise like t-shirts, mugs, keychains, or an autograph of an actor/actress - check E-bay). One of the gifts I got for my husband this year was a fog-free shower mirror with radio. Even a box of good chocolate would work, if he likes sweets.

Answer 5

I have found that best present I can give my guy (same situation minus the pregnant part) is "an evening for Him" I cook his favorite meal with all of the trimmings and a good sized serving of desert, then I plunk him down in front of his favorite show (or movie or whatever relaxing thing he likes) and rub his legs and shoulders. (Maybe your husband has other tired or hurting spots from his work). If he wants a drink I mix him up his favorite, and when it comes time for bed, we do whatever he wants (whether it is me scratching his head till he passes out, or having his favorite position in sex, sometimes he just wants to talk!) If this is a Christmas gift, make it up in the form of a certificate entitling the bearer to one evening of his own or whatever you want to call it. I know that food and relaxation can be a big thing for guys.

Answer 6

Once when my wife and I were very poor, I wrote a song for her for Christmas and she wept and said it was the best present she'd ever gotten.

We forget, in our spend-spend-spend world, that the simple gifts from the heart are much more valuable than an expensive watch.

So write him a poem, or a story, where you tell him how much you appreciate all he does for you, and that if you had the money you'd buy him the moon and the stars.

Go for it - use your imagination and your creativity. Paint him a picture, you get the idea.

Answer 7

First of all....just because he works for it doesn't mean that it's HIS money. If you are married then it is for both of you. Second....if you take care of the things around the house....cooking, cleaning, and soon-to-be baby then you ARE giving just not financially.

But some ideas are: make a date night w/him and make special foods, music, candles that sort of thing to let him know you appreciate him, make a video or album with pics of you both from the time you dated until now. I made a video and put music with it.

Answer 8

WHy not hand make him something like the frame of the potrait of you two or if he is into cooking at home make an apron for him and make your hand impressions on it with different colors and in the end you can write a message 'handmade for the love of my life' or simply actually write him a poem and serve it with a special candle lit dinner near the champagne glass. All the best

Answer 9

You give him love everyday. That is a present that is worth all of the work. Give him something thoughtful from the heart. If he knows the situation is that you can not afford to get him something he won't expect anything. The give him a "day". Make him the dinner he loves, massage him, show him the most love you can.

Answer 10

You are giving him a child, don't worry about it! He will understand. If you really want to do something though, I would suggest a nice dinner or you could get some massage oil and give him a massage (I don't know how pregnant you are), or you could set up time for him to do something he loves (like fishing or whatever he likes). Get creative! No one knows him better than you.
