Couples gifts are wonderful because you don't have to be as specific with the gifts and you can make it fun too!
- Make a movie night basket: include popcorn, popcorn seasoning, a couple of DVDs, movie candy, and coupons for free movie rentals all inside a big popcorn bowl. *Hint: you can find DVDs at Big Lots for $3 right now!
- Make a travel kit for the car complete with maps, hand sanitizer, snacks, tissues, and dashboard wipes. Throw in a mixed CD of fun driving songs.
- Give a newly married couple ornaments and Christmas decorations. They probably don't have much to decorate their new home!
- Know someone with a great fireplace? Give them a pie iron, hot chocolate mix, Jiffy popcorn, and homemade pine cone fire starters. *You can make the fire starters by melting wax, adding pine essential oil for fragrance, and dipping the cones into the wax.
- Give a gift for the senses! Give a gift to indulge each of the 5 senses such as perfume/cologne for smell, a homemade goody for taste, a coupon for a massage or some soft socks or blanket for touch, a CD or itunes for sound, and a framed photo or favorite DVD for sight.
- Buy several gift cards for restaurants or stores. Attach instructions for a date with each card. Example: attach to a $10 Cold Stone Creamery card instructions to order each other's ice cream and toppings, and drive to a nearby park to eat. Include a few questions, such as "What is your favorite memory of us together?", "If you were on the show Survivor, and won a dessert, what would you choose?" or "If money were not an issue, what would you give me for my birthday?".

Great ideas!! Especially the fireplace one - where does one buy a pie iron?
A favorite gift from my husband was a day of my choosing. I could go shopping with a friend and he would watch the kids, sleep in and read and he would man the homefront - whatever I wanted!
I love the gift from your husband! You can find pie irons at outdoor stores such as Sportsmans Warehouse, Gander Mountain, or REI.
