(These were ideas from Amy Dacyczyn’s fun book, The
Tightwad Gazette...)
Need a unique gift for him? This is one of the
most creative gift ideas I've ever run across - so special, and it doesn't
cost a dime...
This is for the helpful spouse (who needs
encouragement?)... One jar is for the "honey-do"
requests - each to be written on a slip of paper. The other
jar is for coupons from you... like for a back rub, a
special meal, getting to watch football all
afternoon, etc. Spouse reaches in for a request - when it’s
completed, s/he reaches in for a thank-you coupon as
compensation. (Well, I guess that if you have to prioritize
the requests, you can make do with just a Honey-Thanks jar.)
Or perhaps you'd just like to say thanks, in various
ways?
