wiix, i haven't read the whole thread, just your first post...

is this someone you see "in real life"?

i ask because i posed this question in a way to my husband for you.

he said the best homemade gifts he has gotten from me and the kids were coupon books.

he loves the personal ones, like a night of total control of the remote , but the ones he always use first is for things like doing all his filing or organizing stuff for him. shredding.

i'm skimming the thread as i'm posting this.

what about making him a bunch of bookmarks with your favorite quotes? add some nice graffics?

i love them. i tend to make a note about the book and leave it in there. if i want to pass it along to a friend, i leave the bookmark. i can never have enough.
