51 FREE Gifts Your Husband Could Give you for the Holidays
Every holiday season my husband asks me, “What do you want for Christmas?”
And every year I say to him, “I really don’t need anything.”
Truth be told, I’d just love some additional help around the house and some time for a little R&R.
The more I’ve talked to my girlfriends about this, the more I’m seeing I’m not alone on this topic.
I had a little fun this morning coming up with 51 FREE Gifts your Husband Could Give you for the Holidays that would mean more than anything monetary (within reason).
These all won’t apply for everyone, you’ll most likely identify with a couple or a few of them, but truly… this is a list you could pass along to your husband.
Tell me if I’m missing anything!

You never cease to amaze me. Such a fun and thoughtful post – packed with ideas that I’M SO USING!!!!!!!!!
I love this list!!!! Husbands don’t always understand that these little things make a huge difference. Especially the make a pot of coffee and let me sleep late! Or shower while he entertains the kids.
I’m emailing this list to my husband. Seriously. These are the kind of things that make me feel so special to him!!
SUCH a great post!! I would take any one of these anytime 🙂 Brilliant!
This is a great list. My husband does a few of these things already but not as often as I would like. If I mention something I feel like I am complaining. He sometimes says I act like he does nothing all day. He does tell me how much he appreciates the hard work that I do everyday. I just wish he helped more on his days off. Glad to know other mothers feel the same way.
