51 days until Christmas!

Post by KellieD »

I was feeling really good about the progress I had made. 4 scarves, 2 hats and 2 pairs of slippers crocheted. Feeling really good until I decided that the hats really needed to be given with their matching scarves. Now I am two gifts behind again!
Wish I had a digital camera to show you these hats. They were oh so simple to crochet, finished in less than a day and are very pretty. (Need a quick gift? PM me for directions)

The one thing I keep losing sight of when I go over my gift list is to be thinking about something for DH!! Me in Saran Wrap and a bow has been done several times already, he can't eat chocolate any more and has every tool he could ever want! He still hasn't worn the bathrobe I made him 25 years ago (why am I still hanging on to it?) and tends to be picky, picky, picky. Big time into muscle cars, doesn't do the sports thing, doesn't drink and we already live where he is the happiest. AAAAAAGHH!!!!!! :o :eek:
Suggestions gladly accepted!

Give him the box of Saran Wrap, perhaps one of the new colors, and a coordinating bow, and tell him it's his turn to do the wrapping this year!! A true Christmas Party Kit. :wink:

Get him a massage. I got my DH one for his B-Day and he was putty in my hands when he got back :D He loved it and goes about every other month now.

Maybe you can find a two for one deal for the holidays :D

Check out some of the shops in your area. Alot of them run specials during the holidays because of all that stress full Xmas shopping!
