'Tis the Season: A Holiday Gift Idea Exchange, Day 2



GIFT IDEAS FOR HIM:
I channelled my husband for ideas in this entry. So here are a few.

1. MONEY- can you sense a theme in our family? Matt and I both are into saving money and trying to get out of debt. So he said money is a practical way to show someone you care. He said he would use money to pay off debt because there are so many gifts that are great, but this one would mean the most for our season in life right now. So straight from the horses mouth. And my horse is a STUD ;)

2. Books or giftcards for a bookstore. I know one of my husbands' recent favorite books is called Crazy Love, by Francis Chan. It has challenged his way of thinking and priorities that we as Christians, and a church have. I have read this book as well and love it. My husband is also in Seminary so our bookshelves have been filling up with great books. So if the "man" in your life is in school, loves reading, or just has a book addiction, then try a book or giftcard to Barnes and Noble, Lifeway Christian Bookstores or any great book store!



3. One of my husbands favorite gifts that my parents have given us is a year subscription to the Newspaper. We get the Sunday only edition which is full of sales adds as well as coupon books. Because we are trying to be good stewards of our money it is so nice to have the subscription because it is paid for as a gift, and we are crazy couponers. So if you know someone who is trying to budget wisely, bless them with a subscription to the Sunday only paper.

Good ideas! My husband is so hard to buy for, especially since his birthday is just before Christmas!
