Seven Perfect Christmas
(or any time) Gifts Better than
Diamonds for Your Wife
Tell your wife how
special she makes you feel. You don't need to spend money
foolishly for Christmas presents for your wife. Don't
get caught up in commercialism during the holidays.
1. Make a wooden box. Stain the box to match your home’s
woodwork or paint it a color used in your bedroom. You
can't pick the wrong finish if you match your bedroom
décor. Line the box with a pretty silky scarf and
present a small gift inside.
2. For the small gift, choose a piece of jewelry, a
seashell you gathered together on a cherished vacation,
or any symbol of your love. Don't charge expensive
jewelry. You can find antique jewelry for reasonable
prices at an antique shop.
3. If you can easily afford it, buy a gold chain
with your children’s birthstones set into a pendant.
4. If you have young children, help them make a photo
album. Buy a quality album that matches your home
colors (or use fabric spray glue to cover a three-ring
binder with fabric.) Take
pictures of your children’s normal activities. Use
acid-free paper to mount the pictures.
5. Make Christmas dinner yourself. Plan ahead and tell
your wife that you will take care of Christmas dinner.
Don't leave a messy kitchen for her to clean.
6. Help the children clean up after gift opening.
7. Find a snapshot of you two from an earlier time. Have
it enlarged and touched up. Frame the picture in a frame
that matches your décor. For instance, if your wife
showcases silver, get a silver frame.
So many families overspend during the holidays. Your
important Christmas gift, love, better than diamonds,
doesn't cost money.
