I decided I wanted to do something a little different for Jason's Christmas present this year. I saw this super cute idea on Pinterest to do a 12 Days of Christmas for your Husband.
Her ideas were super cute, but I decided to change it up and get Jason a mix of his favorite things.
For the purposes of this post (because I already knew all of this) I asked the hubby to list his favorite material things, here is what he said word for word: "Gum, Chapstick, Socks, ummm.... Salt, Booze, Coffee, Deodorant, and Hats! OK, my list is done."
I decided to get creative and get him a number of things to coordinate with the number of the day. I also made little labels to put on each of the gifts:
Then, starting on December 14th, I gave him a gift every day.

Here's what I got him...
TWELVE golf balls.
ELEVEN packs of his favorite gum.
TEN pairs of socks.
NINE chapsticks.
EIGHT dollars to Jimmy John's.
SEVEN dollars to Caribou Coffee.
SIX pack of Curious Traveler (one of his fave beers).
FIVE essentials for a coffee drinker....
custom travel coffee mug (with a picture of Kenley & Bailey), Monin Sugar Free Vanilla syrup and three pounds of coffee.
FOUR deodorants.
THREE new shirts.
TWO things to entertain...
Dark Knight Rises on Blu Ray and Bone Thugs N Harmony Greatest Hits
(ridiculous, I know, but he loves Bone Thugs)
and
ONE Johnny Football T-shirt!!!!!!!!
I had so much fun coming up with ideas for Jason and shopping for all this stuff. It was great to do something different this year and it seemed like Jason really enjoyed it. I think this would be super fun to do with Kenley once she's a little older.

This is a super cute idea - my husband (and girls) would love this. I may have to steal the idea for next year.
I'm super jealous I didn't think of this. haha. One year for my brother's birthday I did (I think he was 17? or 18?) "18 things you'll need on a date" and got him movie passes, food gift certificates, gas card, etc. haha. This is a great idea though! I may have to steal it for next year, too :)
Not only is this a great gift idea, but you picked such great present ideas! I especially love the gum and Jimmy John's gift card. How clever and fun! :)

That is such a sweet idea! maybe I will do something similar for The Husband's birthday this year =)
