I would tell him that you already have his gift. He will feel bad if he doesn't get you something when you give him a gift. And give him him the quilt - you never know what tomorrow will bring.

If this was my situation I would respect his wishes. I'd put the quilt out now, wherever you could both enjoy it,
knowing there won't be any awkward moments on Christmas that could ruin the holiday.
Right after New Years I'd ask what his thoughts were for Christmas 2012!!

This may be a really stupid question, and it is certainly personal, so I apologize if I am out of line, but I have often seen posts where women give their DH a quilt. I can't figure out what my DH would do with a quilt if not to crawl under it with ME every night.
I guess I'm real unimaginative.

I wouldn't give it to him as it's going to probably make him feel reallly bad for not having you a gift. I say save it and give it to him on a day that isn't a holiday or special occasion. Do what your heart tells you to do though.

I have made my husband a quilt for Christmas. Yesterday he informed me that we can't afford Christmas gifts for each other this year. I didn't tell him I have made something for him so I'm not sure what to do. In years past I have given him anniversary or valentines day gifts and he has forgotten to get me something and he feels so bad! So should I give the quilt to him or should I use it as a gift next year? What would you do?
Be sure to let us know what you did and how it turned out!

I would do what I wanted to do in my heart...but I know I love giving way more than recieving...My wife would be wrapped in that quilt on Christmas night...its a gift of your love and labor...a gift from your heart not a gift only because you would recieve one in return. Christmas is about love...giving it...not keeping it ...and thats what the quilt is...I do hope he finds a way to gift you something...gifts dont have to cost a thing...it can be an act of kindness. We have done the no gifts Christmas in the 37 Christmases past but seems we never abide by them. We always find somethign we can do for each other that means more than anything that we could purchase in a store
I wish you blessings

I would wait and maybe suggest that since you are skipping christmas gifts, you can treat to a great valentine's day....it's only a few weeks away and the after holiday budget will be calmed down....i would do a little hinting about a 'special' gift as you won't want him to feel bad with a 20 dollar gift for you and then open up a handmade quilt afterwards...
