a 12/365 gift to my husband...one date every month of the year. i've printed out some cute images on photo paper and will attach a coupon to the back for a date idea for that month, add a blank page for me to record our thoughts and mementos. i'll use my bind-it-all to give it an "official" feel and will have a nice little book to remember our dates. this idea came about because i tried doing this last year and we've only had 2 dates. so this year, i've already asked mom and mil to mark down our date nights so it's "set in stone." another idea i might do instead is to use a cute calendar like the downloadable ones from little brown pen and then circle the date of the month and go from there.
This calendar is awesome. I'm giving one of those new mat charging stations to my folks. It charges up to 3 devices at a time with no cords! The perfect gift for those people who already have everything.

I'm a daily helper to a 94 yr old little lady. She lives in a retirement community that houses healthcare, independent and assisted living residents. For the past three years for gifts for nurses, nurse aides, occupational and physical therapists, we've put together paperwhite kits for each to enjoy over the holidays. We shop ahead for "sweet pretty" cups, etc, for the bulbs and include instructions and pretty gravel with each bulb. People love them and it's just a little sunshine on a winter day. My friend then delights in hearing from people who have received them as they report back to her on the paperwhites growth.
