My husband retweeted this when it was first posted. Now, he’s not really into the whole twitter/blog w0rld (I tried to get him to start a blog but he refused. It took me an age for him to join twitter), therefore I was intrigued that he’d actually retweeted a blog post… and that he’d took the time to read it. (He said you were funny blogger dad). Since this time he has told everyone he knows about this post, and we are doing the list of 40 things. Just wanted you to know the idea is spreading across the world.

And honey, if you’re reading this, that clearly means you’re trying to steal ideas. I’ve read them all. Don’t bother.

thx for the clarification, hope you both have a boatload of fun with this….I suspect DW is secretly tickled…. I think the most fun will be in those months long past xmas, when the gift sitll keeps giving.

Trina…
The “coupons” (one for each item on the list) are good to use once and one a week…there are enough to go until next Christmas. They are to be used Dec. 09 to Dec.10

great banter going on here…
are you both going to use expiry dates or valid only dates? might encourage proper cashing in … cuz it’s no good to go through this and then give up in july or worse… feb just sayin’.
-bake a fresh batch of muffins, could be repeated and really isnt that hard.
-water the plants, if you have them and I’m assuming you may not be the one to care for them
-make a round of icy drinks in the summer
-make a special hot drink in the cold months – oh, oh could go crazy with this theme
-is there an errand your wife ‘always’ does that you could do? perhaps taking xmas cards to the PO in Dec.
-how bout one that says something along the lines of ‘promise to not get upset at me if I forget a week – but ONLY one of those aloud

I know I would totally dig having a special coupon for each week… my hubs might be ready to pound on your virtual door DW….

Oh, by the way, I finished making “coupons” for every item on my list for Blogger Dad. My gift is ready. Did I mention that each of us gets to pick the last 5 on the list we would like the other to do for us? (It’s really 46 items in all…but the last 5 are of our own choosing)
Keep those ideas coming..hehehe
Hints: I am not into jewelry, I am not a fan of tobogganing or undewater basket weaving, I have no interest in the football hall of fame or any other sport related halls of fame, and I love the smell of a brand new shower curtain (I know, it’s sick!)
But really, I don’t ask for much and I’m not hard to please. Being spoiled now and again is a lovely thought!!!

Sister in Law…I love your ideas! Hysterical!
KoolAid…he’s done all those things believe it or not…not recently but in our early dating days.
I love warm socks!

(Yes, I am aware that was more than “a couple” of ideas. I got on a roll and didn’t edit in time)

I just thought of a couple more ideas:

burn a mix CD
draw a comic just for her (but I’m guessing you’ve done this already).
make her a DVD compilation of pics of your family and friends
write her a poem.

Ok, I’m done. The rest is up to you. Good luck!
