I know its sweet and nice that he thought of something but get real. OK I work our ranch usally by myself haying and feeding in the winter,pulling calf as needed and doctoring and casrating and dehorning and I do work on the equipment some to when I have to. When I need help and hubby cannt be there I do have and older gentleman that helps. So here the duh hubby bought me a gift certificate for a nail solon and not just a certificate a 150 dollars worth

OMG!!! I think you are showing admirable restraint by limiting yourself to "duh"!!!

Go for it...get your nails done and your toes too! Then tell him you can't do anything or you'll mess up your nails!!!LOL Men are a riot!

Maybe you can barter it to the older gentleman that helps you out!

The thought was nice even if it wasn't something you'd get for yourself, but isn't that what a surprise is for?

Give him a hug, get your nails done and then show him how smooth they are.

Well you can get your toes done a few times! Sometimes they also offer other services so you might not have to get your nails done. Still sweet that he thought about you even though it isn't something you normally would want.

Another idea would be to go into the nail salon and see if you can get a refund. Sometimes you can get refunds on gift cards. You might take a bit of a loss but then you could get some cash too. And is it a plastic card gift card or a paper certificate on?. A lot of times with the paper ones, after you use it once they give you the difference back in cash. So get your toes done. Show them off to the hubby and make him happy. Then use the cash as you please! New fabric? :)
