I was going to write about this prior to Vday to give y’all a free gift idea, but I didn’t want to spoil the surprise to J. Sorry, I guess I love him more.
Anyway, here’s a gift you can do at any time, not just Vday:
I covered some canisters with paper and stickers.
Here are the rules:
His & Hers Requests
-Write 46 things (since there are 46 weeks left in the year) that we want the other spouse to do with us or with us.
-Put those sheets of paper in your canister, and then we will swap canisters.
-On Sundays, we will each pull a strip of paper out of each other’s jar, and we’ll have to do whatever the spouse asked for.
-We will have the whole week to do the request.
-We will put the papers (with the writing hidden) on our bathroom mirror as a reminder.
On Sunday, J and I each drew one strip of paper (his were blue; mine were pink).
I don’t know what he’ll be doing for me or when, but I’m pretty nervous about what I’m supposed to do for him. I’ll update you after I do his request.
I got this idea from an article I read, and I was happy that J was super excited about this project. Yea for a good, free gift! This way, we can work on showing love in the ways we want to receive it.
Do you have any good, cheap ideas for gifts??
