I really want to give a meaningful gift to my husband before he deploys, not just some sexy picture. I have been thinking since we never had the chance to have a real wedding (just courthouse) if it would be nice if I wrote my own vows and read them to him and he could have them with him over there. Just wanted to see some other ideas. We just got married in June! What have you gave your husbands/wives? Or soldiers, your ideas about what you would want in this situation?

Maybe you could make some heart shaped cookies along with some pictutes of the both of you and go ahead and write what you want to say to him and read it to him. Make a nice bubble bath , throw some rose petals leading to the bubble bath with just candle light in the bathroom.

We had problems and separated four years ago. We’re working things out and he’s moving back in today. Would it be silly/overkill to leave a plate of warm cookies on the table for him, with a Welcome Home banner?

Lose the welcome home banner. You don’t want to appear to grateful, he has to work on making it work also. The quickest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, so go for it.

for my parents and my sister and for his parents and his little sister.? My sister is 15 and his little sis is 6 and our parents, so what would you recomend getting them, please help???? here are some hints his dad just loves sweets, candies and stuff. And my dad, I have no idea what to get him?? please answer??

Do y’all get together for Christmas? How about you cooking a huge family dinner? And lots of baked goodies since you stated your hub’s dad loves ‘goodies’….if you know exactly what he loves, be it cookies, cake, whatever, surprise him w/ that special gift!

How about a gift card for the 15 yr old, but the 6 yr old? Oh wow, does she like to create? There are very inexpensive ‘jewelry/bead kits’ to make ‘necklaces, etc’—really cool stuff’. out there. like K-Mart has them, etc, for maybe 10 clams or under….6 yr olds love that stuff..

The 15 yr old? Maybe a sweater or cd of her fav music? Well, you would know what your own sis would like, right? You got it, you’ll do fine w/ her.

I don’t know, there aren’t too many details….

For the parents, a gift certificate for their favorite restauraunts, always a major hit…

Just please try not to obsess over ‘if all will like what you give’….just do it….it all comes from the heart, & from the question & statements you wrote, it all shows, you are a beautiful person who just wants to please all, & you will succeed!
Happy Christmas!
ps…does your father like cigars? Get him a nice box then….c’mon, surely you know what your father likes? How about a nice sweater or shirt? Any hobbies for a gift cert? If all else fails & you still have no clue, buy him lottery tickets then, that’s another ‘crowd pleaser’ it seems these days….

Just trying to help…but feel all will love what you give them…best wishes! & have a very happy holiday!

Okay so I am trying to figure out what I can do for my husband for fathers day that is cheap, and has to do with our son. Who is only a year old! If you have any idea please tell me!
thanks in advance

Two same t-shirts with father on one and son on the other, the ones you buy in little kiosk in a mall. Maybe it could say: (father’s name)’ son and the other one (son’s name)’ father. Let’s say your husband’s name is John and your son’s name is Justin. On your husband’s t-shirt, it would be written Justin’s father and on your son’s t-shirt, it would be written John’s son. Maybe it could be on your husband’s favourite sport’s team t-shirt.

He loves jazz, sports, dining out, cigars, wrist watches, cash, his family and music.

I say try to incorporate them all who would love to do all the things they love in one weekend especially when turning 50. Maybe try to go to a local sporting event that weekend maybe invite a couple of family members smoke some cigars have a few drinks. The next day make it about the two of you go out to dinner hit up a jazz club after maybe even spend the night out get a nice hotel. I think spending time with your family and the ones that your close with is the greatest way you can spend your birthdays! Good luck.

i want to give my husband a bunch of little inexpensive gifts for each year of his life with a little "reason i love you"note on each and one big gift for the last year – the only little thing i can think of is chocolate. Does anyone have additional small cheap things i can give him? The main gift isvery expensive so i really can’t afford to spend much more

How about going to the Dollar Store and looking around at their inventory. They generally have lots to pick from.

You could find a pair of Work gloves for a dollar and say I love you because you provide for me (us).

A bottle of shaving Cream-
Measuring tape-
Picture frame-
Key Chain-
Tools-

Check out some of these sites for idea’s and visit your local Dollar Store.http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Dollar+store

Good Luck, faith

Good Luck, faith

I got him a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, some Realities for men cologne, and a nice watch. Is that good enough or do I need to get him some more things?

No I think thats perfect. Just remember the more things you get him this year the more you’ll have to buy next year.

My kids got my husband a knife and a pair of bedtime pants for fathers day and i need a small scavenger hunt riddle to get him to find them.. i cant think of anything. any ideas?

If its a cooking knife i think its pretty obviouse you put it in the kitchen with a bow! Or if its a "special" knife to eat with give it to him for his morning breakfast to cut with. if its one of those knifes that you actually use to cut like tree bark with well ive got nothing. As for those pj’s i suggest you put them in his drawer, or under the pillow, im not sure.
Good luck!
