I must share this memorable birthday I had when my dd was the only child. She was about 3 or 4 and dh had bought a slice of cake (we were going thru a rough period then) and this lovely bday card with love coupons. One of the coupons was for dd to perform a jingle and do a dance. She chose that coupon herself and put on a star performance. I remember smiling til my jaw muscles ached. I still have the card with coupons intact ;p It really was the best birthday celebration simply because it is so unforgettable- in a good way- and made me so so very happy!

Those are great ideas for experience gifts. Archery is something my husband would be all over as well! And you're right that no on wants to do these things alone...much better when shared.

I definitely love experience gifts, and always encourage them. I have gotten my husband an Intro to Archery lesson. I did this with him; no one wants to do experience gifts alone. Other ideas that we have done include theater tickets, dinner at a five star place, manicure spa afternoon (with my mom). And other ideas that I'm toying with include horseback riding and an Intro to Fencing lesson. .-= Vi | Maximizing Utility´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.maximizingutility.com/2009/07/on-relationships-love.html" rel="nofollow">On relationships: Love</a> =-.
