If you want to do something extra special this year, then create a 12 days of Christmas for your husband.
It’s a beautiful way to show how much you appreciate your man. He’ll love getting a present a day for 12 days, and you’ll enjoy arranging such a wonderful treat.
Who knows, it could even become a tradition for the both of you in years to come. I know some couples with kids who prefer to give each other a 12 days of Christmas run up to the big day, and leave Christmas day as a special event for the kids.
It works well, because as a couple you get your own private celebrations so you still get to show each other how appreciated you are. It also means Christmas day can be all about the kids. When you’re juggling less, things tend to run smoother.
12 Days of Christmas Inspiration for Your Husband
It’s one thing wanting to put on a 12 Days of Christmas celebration for your husband, but another to actually pull it off.
Thinking of 12 presents can be a daunting task, especially if it’s the first year you’re doing it. Below is a guide to give you a little hand when it comes to choosing presents.
Something to Wear
Choose your husband something to wear as one of his 12 Days of Christmas gifts. It doesn’t need to be something expensive, there are options for every budget.
If you’re keeping costs low, you could get him some warm socks or slippers. You could even knit him a hat for the cold weather.
For a more expensive gift, maybe choose him a nice jumper, or even a new watch if you’re feeling very generous!
Something to Eat
They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, and I say that’s totally true. I think maybe that’s the way to anyone’s heart, and always works well for gift-giving.
If you’re looking to impress, choose a food hamper of a box of luxury chocolates. If it’s all about the gesture, make him his favourite meal or buy him his favourite chocolate bar.
Something to Do
Everybody loves the chance to do something they love. Whether it’s a gift that encourages a hobby or something like a present from Gifting Owl to do some fun activities (either with you, the family, or a group of friends), a gift of something to do is bound to be gratefully received.
Somewhere to Go
People value experiences just as much as they value things, so why not choose a gift that takes your husband somewhere new?
Perhaps his favourite band is putting on a gig, or there’s a football game he’s like to go to. Think about the stuff your husband loves and try and get him a gift that takes him there.
Something to Read
Nothing beats curling up with a good book, so why not get one for your husband?
A new book gives him the chance to quietly relax and enjoy a little peace at home.
Something to Drink
Whether your husband has a favourite tipple or prefers a high-end soft drink, a drink is always a great gift.
If you’re not sure what your husband likes to drink best, check out a whiskey review or any other drinks guides to help you choose.
