Great Ideas For Perfect Presents To Give To Your Husband

by






Your husband may truly mean the world to you.  He may go out of his way day in and day out to make sure that you are provided for and have everything that you would ever want.  To repay him for all that he does for his family, you may now have the urge to do something special for him by getting him the perfect present.  One of the biggest problems that you may encounter, however, is that you have no idea which present would be perfect to him.  Here are some great ideas that can at least get your mental wheels rolling towards another great idea that may actually work out.

Get Him Some Jewelry

Even though there are many men that may not like jewelry or feel that jewelry is primarily an accessory that should be worn by women, there are still quite a few jewelry items that are designed specifically for men that they either may not be aware of at all or just may have forgotten about over time.  Some of the most popular jewelry items that you should seriously consider are tungsten rings for men.  Their stylish yet masculine design makes them a hit among many men around the world and may definitely please your husband as well.

Buy Him Tickets to His Favorite Event

Your husband may have compromised in the past when it came to taking you to different shows, plays and concerts that he personally may have had no interest in seeing.  However, to make you happy, he went anyway and bought you that ticket along with his self-sacrificing spirit as a gift.  How about you try and return the favor to him by going to an event that he likes that you may not be a huge fan of, such as sports or a musical act that he enjoys thoroughly?  Even though you may have to endure a little discomfort, he will appreciate the gift even more because he will be able to see firsthand just how much his happiness means to you.

Wear Some Sexy Lingerie

Another great present that you may or may not have thought about is staring back at you every time that you look in the mirror.  There are so many wives that put so much of their focus and energy on finding the perfect present for their husbands without taking a moment to think and realize that they could deliver themselves instead.  If your husband has a favorite color, buy a nice lingerie set that matches that color and show it to him one evening after a romantic, candlelit dinner.  The odds of him being disappointed about that gift idea are truly slim to none.

There are many other gift ideas that you can use, buy or even make for your husband.  You know what he likes and what he dislikes, so you are always going to be the perfect person to identify the perfect present.  These are just some great ideas that you can use to start the brainstorming process.

However, he would also settle just for any romantic evening with the woman that he loves instead.






Burned through yet another laptop!

by

For the last 7 years I’ve been at home on medical leave. During that time I haven’t just stayed in bed … I’m an extreme type A personality that has to be busy all the time. That’s probably one of the reasons why I’m not healthy yet! I keep running myself to the ground by staying up to all hours working – even when I’m home on medical leave. Yes I’m still working even though I’m home, it’s just not at the job that I used to do.

These days I work behind a computer blogging and doing graphic design. I must be behind the computer screen about eighteen hours a day most days. Way too long but that’s the way it is. My long hours are hard on my computers. I’ve been through two laptops so far. My last one pretty much burnt itself out two weeks ago. It got slower and slower and I started calling it Molasses as a nickname if it worked at all.

I finally broke down about a week and a half ago and bought yet another laptop. So far I love the new HP. I hope this one lasts several years but we’ll see. At least this one might have a chance .. I’m hoping to go back to work in the next month or two so my computer hours will be cut down to some degree so that should save the laptop. Of course I expect I’ll be working on it just as hard when I come home from work and on my days off. I plan on using this online business cards design site to create some business cards so I can promote my webdesign and graphics business to my coworkers once I get back to work.

Do you work from home on the computer? If you do, how many hours a day are you on the computer? Do you go through computers/laptops much more quickly than you think you should?

Need to smile

by

I’m not having the best week. Scratch that … I don’t think I’m having the best year and it’s only just begun. My Crohn’s is acting up and well .. my life just kind of sucks right now. It really does. I have to make a LOT of changes and soon.

What I need right now is some cheering up. This picture, just like the captions within in makes me smile and I need that. Hopefully it makes you smile too!

Neighborhood break ins

by

A year or so ago my husband signed up for a community watch newsletter at our local police station. Time went by and he never got any notices. Until this week. It seems there’s been a rash of break in in the neighborhood. cars and houses are being broken into and if we see any suspicious people in the area or if someone tries to gain access to our house by knocking on the door handing out flyers etc we’re supposed to call the police at a specific number. Well I suppose we’d call 911 if it were something serious but if it were just something hinky or suspicious we’d call the hotline number.

I’m actually thinking of contacting the officer in charge of the investigation because someone tried to break in to our house in mid-December when I was home. I thought it was my husband coming home extremely early from work as it sounded like the person was using a key in the door but it wasn’t Chris and when my dog started barking and growling like crazy the rattling at the door stopped. I was scared seeing my dogs reaction. Her hackles were up and the sounds at the door hadn’t been normal but by the time I went to look who ever it had been was gone. I am certain someone was trying to get in though as there was signs someone had been on the porch and our outer door was open.

I’ve actually thought of getting one of those home security systems. I could get a professional one or the kind you can buy from a place like Costco where you set up your own Cameras etc. Probably the professional one is best but having a camera or two wouldn’t be bad .. I live on a busy street and there’s lots of activity and sometimes some strange stuff goes on close by even though I think my neighborhood is basically safe.

I guess I’ll look into home security tomorrow when I’m more awake! While I’m at it I’m going to make a note to look at workflow management software at eoncode.com too. A friend of mine was looking for some print management software and I think that might work for his company.

Anyway – how is your neighborhood? Is it safe? Any break ins or scary stuff going on? Do you feel safe, do you have home security and if you do what kind do you think is best?

Puddles and Guitars

by

I think I’m going to have to buy myself a pair of rubber boots! We had all that snow last week, about 18 inches of it and now it’s all melting away so quickly we have ponds of water everywhere. It’s so hard to get around if you’re walking anywhere. Yep, rubber boots are definitely a must .. until it freezes and snows again that is and with this crazy weather that’s just what it’s going to do soon enough.

Speaking of weather, our house has been so dry this year! We have humidifiers on our main floor and upstairs and I fill them almost daily. I’ve never had to fill them as much as I’m filling them. I don’t know why it’s so dry this year. My husband happened to have his Gibson guitar when he was visiting a guitar store earlier today and the man was an old pro at assessing the condition of guitars. He looked over my husbands guitar and said it was still in very good condition but there were a few places in the fret board areas that the wood had shrunk a bit .. probably because the house is so dry! I wonder if the wood will still look shrunken to this man with the expert guitar eye in the summer time when there is more humidity in the air?

I think Chris was in the store secretly trying to get a deal on a new guitar. He says he was just talking to the store owner and learning from him but I have a feeling he was checking out an instrument or something. He’s sneaky.

Anyway – how’s the weather in your area? Is the snow melting or is it raining there? Are you dealing with huge puddles too?
