reasons why i love you

Every year, my husband is very specific as to what he wants for Christmas so it has never been hard for me to please him. Sometimes he doesn't even want me to bother wrapping the gifts because he already knows what it is (where's the fun in that?!). He is a very practical person when it comes to gifts. Christmas, birthdays, whatever.

So this year I decided that I was going to get him everything he wanted, but I also wanted to do something a little special, something different... so here's what I came up with. :)


It's just your regular standard playing cards and I stuck some adhesive paper to the back of each card and started listing all the reasons why I love him. To keep it interesting I also mixed in a few romantic favors. You can let you imagination run free and be as adventurous as you want here.

He was definitely not expecting something like this but he loved it and he always wants to pull a card. Whether he pulls a card that tells him one of the reasons why I love him, or a card with a favor like a sensual massage, you can't go wrong... Try it!

  1. This is such a sweet idea Amma! I can't imagine what it would be like to be on the receiving end of such a thoughtful gift, he must have felt QUITE special to say the least! You and your hubby are a kick-ass pair :)

  2. Thank you! Its funny because he's not usually one to get too excited about "mushy" things but he is really having fun with these cards. He's been picking cards all day today :)

  3. ok, I love this!! How creative!!! You go girl, keep that fire burning. I believe I will use this idea( if it's ok with you)?. We have been for 23 years and It is sooo important to keep the romance in the forefront of any relationship.

    1. Go for it! The only thing I would change is add more favors! Lol I only had 5 and I think my hubby has memorized which cards have the favors so he keeps picking those... His reason: "I already know all the reasons why you love me..."

      Congratulations on 23 years! Wish you many more happy years :)

  4. You are a very caring and loving person, me, if I am in same situation as you; I will just simply "stop giving", declare that I am a secretive person and would like to wrap/hide whatever I give as present! Finish matter!
