50 yrs > 50 days > 50 gifts
 
Yesterday I turned 50 .... and 50 days ago my DH started giving me a gift every morning.
So ...for 50 days, I received a gift every day!!!! :thumbup:
It was actually quite nice to be spoiled like this!!
He kept it up for the full 50 days ...and I am quite impressed with his choices ...!
I have everything I could possibly want, and don't need anything, so usually .... I ask for nice soaps and bubble bath etcetera, as gifts ... so ......
Most of the gifts were my usual request, but for some of the days he bought sewing notions .... I can just imagine him standing in the quilt shop trying to figure out what I would like ...! :D
I think he made some wonderful choices ....just love the two rulers in the back and the pink cutting mat on the right!! :thumbup:
And my DIL baked me a sewing machine cake!!!:thumbup::thumbup:

I just read this to my husband and he said, "I have to write that guy a letter and tell him to quit screwing it up for the rest of us." LOL!

Marcia_PA 06-13-2013 05:58 AM

What a sweet hubby!

RedGarnet222 06-13-2013 07:25 AM

You must be a great wife. Men don't just act like this without the right environment. Happy Birthday to a sew sweet gal! By regardless of that ... What a great guy.

Baloonatic 06-13-2013 08:19 AM

WOW what a great sweet romantic husband!! Would you be willing to trade for awhile, maybe you could train MY DH....

crafty pat 06-13-2013 08:32 AM

mike'sgirl 06-13-2013 10:27 AM

Oh,I wish I had thought of that. My dh is turning 50 on Monday. Maybe I'll tell him what your dh did, and he will do the same for me!! Happy birthday!!

Happy Birthday. I agree with all that you have a great hubby and I bet you deserve it. Sorry about the pictures I tried to post something and could not get the pictures to load either :-(. Wonder if anyone has a suggestion.

bjrusty 06-13-2013 01:50 PM

HAPPY birthday and how sweet of your hubby. Barb

BellaBoo 06-13-2013 03:47 PM

How sweet! I don't remember my 50th and it hasn't been that long ago. You will always remember yours that's for sure. :D

Suze9395 06-13-2013 03:53 PM

What a wonderful relationship you two must have.
Happy birthday!

Dolphyngyrl 06-13-2013 05:25 PM

Wow that is very creative, nice hubby. happy birthday

PattR 06-13-2013 07:10 PM

What a wonderful, thoughtful, loving way for your husband to help you celebrate your landmark birthday. You are so lucky that he took the time to do this for you. My husband would be hard-pressed to come up with even ONE thing on just my birthday, even though I would let him know that I really appreciated it because it is the thought that counts. He's just not good at picking gifts for me, claims he doesn't know what I like (we've only been married 43 years - lol).

Yes, RedGarnet - you are right .... Men do not just act like this without the right environment.
Many years ago, the Lord showed me that if I want to be Loved and Cherished for what I am and Valued for what I do,
Then....
I have to give Respect, Trust, and Acceptance for who and what he is, and what he can do.
Ever since then, I have a beautiful marriage.
And it is something almost every one we know, comments on. :o:o

Latrinka 06-14-2013 03:56 AM

Happy Birthday! Great hubby! Sounds like something mine would have done, but he died when I was 49!

tessagin 06-14-2013 04:56 AM

That's Ok! We'll wait anxiously for when you get the pics loaded!

What a great guy! Congradulations on turning 50, been there, it really doesn't hurt. (much) haha

cpcarolyn 06-14-2013 05:32 AM

Happy Birthday. You have a great husband.

starshine 06-14-2013 05:48 AM

Happy Birthday-sounds like your best gift is your DH-priceless!

calano1 06-14-2013 05:53 AM

Thank you all for your lovely comments! :o:o

ccthomas 06-14-2013 06:00 AM

What a wonderful memory to treasure. I can't imagine being able to find gifts my husband would appreciate for 50 days. I need to try harder to show him how blessed I am to have him in my life. Thanks for sharing.

Friday1961 06-14-2013 06:09 AM

What a husband! Those kind don't come along every day. Imagination, perseverance, thoughtfulness -- he could give lessons in how to treat wives! Or women in general.

Congrats on your birthday and on your choice of spouse!

SusanSusan33 06-14-2013 06:16 AM

You're truly blessed with a great hubby! Happy, happy Birthday!!

I'm sure MY hubby would back up your husband with his statement. Some just don't understand the sentiment.

matraina 06-14-2013 06:52 AM

Your husband is so sweet and thoughtful. Happy Birthday!

roadrunr 06-14-2013 07:01 AM

Happy birthday! That sure was nice of your husband to do - he must really love you an awful lot (or is he buttering you up for something? haha - just joking) You do have a wonderful husband.
