Yes. <br /><br />This past MD my husband broke down and got me a Pandora bracelet (which is totally out the price range we usually do gifts). The kids told me he was sweating at the jewelry store. However, now he doesn't have to worry about what to get me for my birthday, or any other holiday. Just get a charm for the bracelet.Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18065409375913634202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606186947569498376.post-15322245746000047032012-05-31T07:58:40.588-07:002012-05-31T07:58:40.588-07:00We have the no gifts rule around here.

Aren't you glad I took the time to comment? My significant other willingly does his part around the house. That's gift enough for me. We save our pennies for travel which I understand is not everyone's desire. You're a writer. One hundred sentences of love? Now kids are a different story - but even then its minimal. My 2 cents, as that's all I have for gifts. :)Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06117409443842865395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606186947569498376.post-8911753665203151492012-05-31T00:05:34.021-07:002012-05-31T00:05:34.021-07:00You are a lucky woman...You are a lucky woman...Dude of The Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272483182710859456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606186947569498376.post-78374378218872098632012-05-31T00:05:08.329-07:002012-05-31T00:05:08.329-07:00A lot of people have suggested intangible gifts, s...A lot of people have suggested intangible gifts, so that is something to consider, like days off, massages, dinners, etc.Dude of The Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272483182710859456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606186947569498376.post-59722279985018195912012-05-31T00:04:14.466-07:002012-05-31T00:04:14.466-07:00That is a small window.

Then our anniversary. All within December - March. Luckily I am not a mother, nor he a father, or that would just extend our gift giving season. On the badside, after our anniversary I have to wait another 9 months for more presents! And also many of my gifts get combined, because Valentine's Day is the week before my birthday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606186947569498376.post-71775717449895066202012-05-30T14:59:39.725-07:002012-05-30T14:59:39.725-07:00If it were me I would go for the "do somethin...If it were me I would go for the "do something" for her kind of gift.
