Hi bOb P,
First off, Congratulations!
My H and I agreed to make our Cmas gifts last year....no $ except for materials if needed. He wrote me a long 3 page heartfelt letter of appreciation for all I mean to him.
I created a box....actually 2 concentric boxes I bought to fit, one inside the other. The outside one had the beginning part of a poem I'll link for you taped all around it. When you opened up the inside box, it had the remainder of the poem on the outside. On the inside, it had little oragami folded slips of paper on which I had written things he had asked me to consider to improve our R and M.
Adventurous outings, going fishing, playing board games, being more spontaneous, etc. I called it the Gift of Time and Thoughts.
It took a little bit of effort, but it was something I would have loved to receive and he appreciated it, too.
Here's the poem
[b]"The Gift that Fits to the 'T's' " [/b] Regardless what you choose, I'm looking forward to hearing about it. Thanks for your continued inspiration.
