That sounds like a great plan.
This is the first year that I will not be giving gifts to my grown daughter and her husband. I just don't see the point. They can buy whatever they need all year long. I suggested that we just give birthday presents and go out for dinner during the holiday to celebrate. She wants to change that to a meal cooked at home, but I don't think I even want to go to all the trouble. The last time I had her and friends over for a meal I spent 4 days cleaning and preparing and they stayed about 2 hours. It definitely wasn't worth the trouble.

I've had my eye on some fabric that I think DH is just going to *love*! And, really, he's been extra good this year... ;)
