Okay, so a continuation on the book I just read, here are some fun ideas for giving gifts which you can use on anyone really.
1. Wind a strand of string all around the house until you get to the location of the gift. Start at the door (if doing it when they get home) or their side of the bed (if doing it when you wake up)
2. To hide a ring in cake, bake it, then stick it inside with a ribbon sticking out (can make as part of bow on top), frost cake and have her “pull” the ring out.
3. The Gift Tree-multiple boxes with small presents in each one, who doesn’t like MORE gifts.
4. Why reserve piñatas only for kids? Put gifts in a piñata and let your spouse hit the thing to pieces, can use for birthdays, anniversary, Christmas, theme gifts, anything.
5. Friendship box: a little box that you each keep exchanging little tokens of love, chocolate, flowers, tickets to the movies or a concert, a poem, etc...
6. Anticipation-Before an event like an anniversary, trip, bday, or whatever send little gifts (or poetry) daily that have to do with the theme. This would work also for birthdays. Send little things like balloons one day, party hats another day…or for a mystery date, send clues each day to what you might be doing on your date.
7. Camcorder wishes-great for a grandparent, record the kids on video and send that for a birthday gift. Interview them, have them tell stories, put on a play.
8. Bake their favorite cookies, one batch for now, and another frozen for later. You could do this with favorite meals, or other things they like too.
What about you, any great ideas to share that you've done or heard about?
