The Art of Thoughtful Gifting: Creative Gift Coupons

The Generous Husband

The best gifts are things that can’t be delivered in a nicely wrapped box. This is where gift certificates come in. That link goes to certificates over on the TMB site that you can personalise and print.

If you know she would like more date nights, give her coupons for that. Specify you need a few days advanced notice. Do the same with other things you know she wants.

But go beyond that.

If you’re not getting laundry in the basket or not taking out the trash is an ongoing issue, give her a laminated certificate good all year for that. Then honour it quickly every time she flashes it. This is really a tool for change. After a while you will know she will flash it, and that will help you avoid getting to the place where she needs to.

You can also give her some grace certificates. A sort of get out of jail free card for something she does that bothers you. And again, this really a tool for change. This time, it will make her think.

If you have the higher sex drive, a few “Get out of sex-free” coupons might be a good idea. You could also give her some “Sex your way” certificates. You might learn something. What’s more, she might on occasion give you one of those coupons instead of saying no. And again, this will make her think.

Include some wild cards, good for pretty much anything reasonable. Also, do some “again” coupons that let her repeat something she has already used up. These will help you see what she really wants.

Still looking for donations. If what Lori and I do blesses you, please consider tossing a few dollars our way. THANKS!
