After reading this posting I am now able to give a list to my husband for MY Christmas gifts! LOL I even printed out the instuctions for the Big ironing board and left it on top of his desk. Maybe he will get the hint?
As for what to get your wife as a gift what about a coupon book you make up yourself for time? For example: 6 hours of uninterrupted quilt time, 2 hours of my time to clean the kitchen, an evening out- just the two of us, 2 hours of helping you pick out colors/fabrics. There are a hundred that run through my brain. Time is the one thing that is so hard to find and give. I love the time I get to spend with my hubby who is a very busy man.
