Need idea - STAT!

DH and I are doing 12 Days of Christmas, where on day one, we give one gift. Day two, two gifts, and so on. The idea is the items are the same, so on day 3, I gave him three packs of gum. Day six (yesterday), I gave him six socks (three pairs - haha). Day 5 I gave him 5 "get out of the doghouse free" cards. It's typically something either small or free or something we do for the other person.

I need an idea for day 7, which is today! I was going to do massage coupons, and I can still use that as a fall back idea, but I also have day 11 to fill, so I still need one new idea.

Any great light bulbs lighting up out there?  

Re: Need idea - STAT!

  • What's your 12th day gift?  If it's 12 of something that you can easily cut back one on, do 11 of that and on the 12th day get a 12 pack of beer (or 2 six packs)

  • For the 12th day, I got him a magazine subscription (one issue for 12 months).
  • First - I cannot think of anything off the top of my head, but I'll try and come back if I do.

    Second - that is a really cute idea!!

  • This is such a cute idea! Chocolate Kisses/ hugs or cookies. Since you've done get out of the dog house or message cards how about you will do his least favorite chore? X number of things you love about him/ love notes. X number of printed photos from the first year of marriage. If he likes cars get him matchbox cars. That's all I have for now.

    Can I ask why your doing the 12 days of Christmas before the first day of Christmas? The 12th day is January 6th. 

     

  • Maybe something related to a week? A week with no dishes, or a week of his favorite meals, something like that

  • I'm probably late but maybe you can use my idea for another day. Lotto scratch off tickets (if your state has them). You can get $1 ones and just get a whole string of them.

    Thanks for the ideas! I wound up giving up 7 kitty litter cleanings. DH does the kitty litter, so I'll do it 7x for him. I gave him the option of doing 7 days in a row or 7 times when he just doesn't want to clean it at any time and he chose the later. I made a cute little chart to keep track.

    The reason why we're doing it before Christmas was to have something fun leading up to the holidays.

  • Ah. I understand that. I think I'll do this next year but for the twelve days if Christmas. We already do stuff to have fun during December.
