Other than sex what would be a good gift for my husband? Remember I don't have any money. I'm a stay at home mom and he is the one who works. So what would be a good idea for a gift?

Look guys, he gives me money through out the year when he has it to give. For those who think he doesn't well he does. However, I spend that on myself because I feel like I deserve it. Also, I think a lot of your responses are great! Keep'em comin! Thanks a Bunch!

On Xmas day give him a beautiful card & write down 12 special things you will do for him throughout the year. How about one per mo in no particular order? Is there anything he doesn't like to do in the summer? Or fall?
And then the night before his 1st payday in January, sit down with him & negotiate a certain amt of money he will give you each payday with no strings attached. This way you will have your "own" money & can spend it however you want without having to ask him or explain how you spent it. And just maybe you will have some money to buy him a gift next Xmas. One rule for you: Don't spend your money on the kids or household necessities.

You must have at least some money, surely. It doesn't have to be a lot. A little money would buy him a book, if he likes to read, or a music CD. We aren't talking about huge spending here! Whatever he is into, get him something relatively cheap based on that interest.
If he really has left you without a single penny to spend on anything, clearly this arrangement isn't working too well! He can't expect you to run a house on no money.
And I don't think sex should be considered a gift, as this is something which should be there all year round! Unless you are creative, making something might be tough.
If all else fails, promise him you will do better next year and actually save up for a present, or better still, get a job if things are that hard.

Do you have any talent like painting or singing? A nice picture of you and the kids that he can take to work. Maybe you could do a sexy song and dance number on Xmas eve like "Santa Baby" after the kids are in bed.
I have a question for you. Why don't you have any money? Your husband may work outside the home but you have a job too. The money he makes should belong to the both of you and you need equal access to it. The two of you should have a serious discussion after the holiday.

First of all even if you are a stay at home mom and he works his money is your to,but that is a different story..
Its always nice to make cute things like a picture frame with a picture of you,him and if you have kids you can use things around the house to do different little things and you can make a card telling him how much you love him.
Good Luck

A husband who doesn't give his wife money to spend or to save is not deserving of a gift for Christmas or for any occasion.

A nice pedicure, manicure, head scratch, his favorite of all favorite meal, does he like pie throw that in, send the kids to grandparents for a couple of hours and you dress up really nice in a evening gown with you face made up and the hair looking just right, have a camera there, because I think that this is something that you would like to put in the memory books. Have Fun!!!!

Make him a nice meal, send the kids to your folks to babysit overnight. Do the whole candles, wine, soft music and maybe share a bath or something. Spoil him and give him and yourself time to be a couple without the kids demanding your attention.
That would be the best present of all.

why can't your husband give you money so that you can buy gifts. Your a stay at home mom, but you work everyday. that should be worth something. he works everyday outside of the home and he expects a paycheck and looks forward to it. you work inside of the home and should be given money to spend.

Men love baked goods. Do some nice things for your hubby. Nice massage. Some alone time. Let him have a day to goof off. That kind of stuff. Merry Christmas!
