Last year my DH got me a gift card for the LQS, and at first I thought that was pretty lame, "could have given it more thought than just a gift card"; Well,let me tell you, I finally finished using it up just this last week, and it has kept me in all the tools, notions, batting and extras that I have wanted all year. Can you imagine my sweet DH, buying batting or fabric? That gift card was just perfect. Hope he does it again this year.
