While early in your relationship you may need to exchange romantic gifts for holidays like Valentine s Day, once you have been together for some time, practical gifts may be more appreciated. While your first instinct may be to cringe at the idea of a practical gift and others may tell you your gift lacks creativity, the truth is, your practical gift may be far more appreciated than flowers or candy. Put some thought into what would truly make your spouse happy and consider their personal taste and desires. If your spouse is worried about your home being filled with bugs, consider giving them pest control or termite treatments for their gift. It may not be all that romantic, but if it solves a serious problem, they will love it.
Another practical gift that may be right up their alley is groceries. Grocery shopping is often the worst part of someone s week, so if your spouse is always complaining about battling other shoppers, dealing with coupons and stocking up on essentials, take over the grocery shopping duties for the week. If the actual shopping is not a problem, but they get tired of scrounging up the money for groceries from their personal budget, give them grocery gift cards. This means your spouse can use money usually spent on groceries to do something fun and enjoyable. If grocery shopping seems to lack creativity, consider replacing a shopping trip with a week s worth of ready-made meals. This not only gives them a chance to skip shopping, but to also get a break from cooking.
If a break from household chores would make your spouse happy, take over their to-do list for the week. This may mean putting your usual shores aside for a period of time or doubling up on things you do. Regardless of what it takes, it allows your spouse to relax and take a break from all they do on the daily basis.
Maybe your spouse does not want a practical item for the home, but they are not looking to spend a lot of money going out to wine and dine. Plan a quiet evening for the two of you to reconnect and spend time together. This is a great way to bring romance back into your marriage and leave the cares of the outside world behind. Consider sending the kids to a friend or relative s home so you can really relax and enjoy your time together in your home.
A final option for a practical gift that will make your spouse happy is to leave them alone. This may sound crazy, but if your spouse is constantly overwhelmed by household chores, the schedules of children and the daily upkeep of the home, they may love the idea of having a few hours to themselves. A gift like this is free, but it is a great way to really let your spouse know you have thought of them and their needs. Take the kids to the park or a movie and let your spouse have some time alone to kick back and relax.
