Holidays are Right Around the Corner!
October 14, 2008
Halloween is in about 20 days or so! Every year, it’s like Halloween comes and then Thanksgiving and Christmas fly by.
The hardest thing about the holidays is buying gifts. I feel like I think of the same ideas over and over again. My mom always gets lotion, my Dad gets the usual boxers and socks, my sister gets movies or picture frames, and last but not least, there’s my boyfriend.
He came home from boot camp in August and it’s been really fun having him home. For graduation, I got him a Build-A-Bear in an army outfit with dogtags and the whole nine yards!
I’m stumped, though. What do I get him for Christmas? I don’t have any ideas. What fun gifts have you gals given?
I always enjoy making my own gifts. It’s a lot of fun and so much more personal. You could use pictures of yourselves to decorate a calendar. Remember to mark special dates on it, such as your anniversary, or leave cute notes throughout each month.
Another great gift idea is treating someone to an activity. You could go out for dinner at a nice restaurant, buy tickets to a concert, or take a carriage ride with hot chocolate.
It’s easy to get wrapped up in which gift to get for what person, but the recipient of your gift will love it as long as what you give comes from the heart.
I love Kate’s ideas…
I was also thinking about this.
What does he love? Or is there something he’s always wanted to do or the two of you have wanted to do that would be fun?
Is there any gift he’s ever gotten from you or someone else that had special meaning for him?
I’ll keep thinking!
