One thing that is fun for me and my husband both is doing fun things for him. Although I am not a huge gifts person myself I do enjoy making and giving things to people. So I end up doing small random things for him like the time I did the 5 senses gift. For our first Christmas I decided to do the 12 Days of Christmas for him. Some of these ideas are specific to his likes and hobbies, but I hope that they will give you some great ideas on how you can do the 12 Days of Christmas for your husband.
Below I will share each of the things I did for each day along with the text that I included.
12 Days of Christmas For Your Husband
Having you for a husband is a dream come true; this is my way of wishing Merry Christmas to you!
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…
A Partridge in a Pear Tree.
I couldn’t catch the partridge or dig up the tree so I just picked you a pear instead!
On the second day of Christmas, my true love gave to me…
2 Turtle Doves

12 “Runners Running” how appropriate… Ok, Ok, it’s suppose to be 12 drummers drumming, but that just didn’t go with the gift I wanted to give you.
Take this gift card and get you some running gear, sweats or new shirt you’d like!
I hope through these 12 days you were reminded how much I love you & just how much of a true love you are Merry Christmas!
As you can see not all of the days aligned perfectly and yours probably won’t either when you do the 12 days of Christmas for your husband. But if you keep his personality in mind it will surly be a gift that he enjoys! For me not having it all done perfectly and using a little humor worked out great! Have a great 12 days of Christmas for your husband and for yourself!
Until Next Time- Truly Love,
Cassie
