I'm sure this is going to sound bad considering Christmas is 9 days away but... was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what I could make my husband?

What I have planned for him already (and these aren't his only gifts) to make him is:

--A coupon book (for massages, kisses, etc)
--A koolaid mix jar/bottle that I'm going to put love quotes, and just notes from me to him in. I'm going to make one for everyday, so maybe like... before work he can pull one out and start his day with something happy.
--Part of a novel. That sounds weird I'm sure, let me explain. I write, and am going to try to become a published novelist. I had an idea for a fantasy novel, and I'm going to start it. And give him the first part of it. And then as I write more, I will give more to him. Maybe just when I finish a chapter, or for specific dates. (BTW, my husband pretty much only reads fantasy as far as novels go)

Other than that... I'm not sure. But I'd like to make more for him. I was hoping to crochet him a blanket. But... don't know how to crochet. I have a a little booklet for it but... have yet to practice. So I might try that for his b-day (in February)

Can you try to make him a fleece blanket? You don't have to do anything but cut strips and tie them together- pretty easy!

I never really buy my husband christmas gifts but I always give him a massage and a facial. He loves that way more than any shirt I'll get him. Or i'll make him a nice dinner and get him a movie he really wanted (cheap of course) and take the kids out so he can have alone time.
