Oooh, you’re going to LOVE this!
Best part is: I did most of the work for you!
This is a fairly easy, long-lasting, impressionable series of gifts that can be as expensive and labor-intensive as you’d like! It will be fun for both the giver and the recipient. Winner, winner holiday dinner!
My husband and I have never exchanged gifts. We generally just decide on doing an activity together like going out to a place we wouldn’t usually splurge on, getting couples massages, or going for a night over somewhere (ok, we’ve never done this, but I would LIKE to!). Last year, I wanted to do something fun for my husband, so I planned to give him 12 small gifts leading up to Christmas- one each day. It was exciting for both of us, because I love surprising people and he was excited to see what I had in store for him each day.
These are the 12 gifts I planned:
This is a template I made for YOU to make it easy to plan each day. It also includes 12 new gift ideas:
12 Days of Christmas, Gift Notices
You can edit the gift part. Also, don’t feel like you need to stick to the 1, 2, 3 theme. I just did so you could see what it could look like. As you can see from my cards to my husband above, I didn’t stick to the numbers, and he certainly didn’t care.
You can also decide to choose all FREE gifts! It’s totally your choice!
COMMENT BELOW with your thoughts — will you try this? What are some gifts you decided to give? We can all use more ideas!

Rodizio’s is always a win! You’re also treating yourself too! Thanks for the ideas! Now I have to decide whether he’s been good enough to receive 12 days of gifts.

You’re hilarious! Just remember, you can change the gifts to anything, so feel free to give a mop so he can clean the floor, soap so he can do the laundry, and deodorant so he stays fresh. 😉 Ah… poor guy!
