I have the best husband in the whole world! Seriously this man puts up with A LOT from me… yet he still loves me and keeps coming back for more! 364 days out of the year he puts me first and even though I try to put him first he seems to be way better at it. I have no will power when it comes to letting him do sweet things for me. Oops!
So every year on his birthday we make a big deal of HIM! The whole day we do whatever he wants to do… and instead of him taking care of me I FINALLY get a chance to take care of him! This year my poor hubby is sad because we are going to be traveling on his birthday. We are still going to celebrate and I’ve told him that we will do his very special Trevor day twice… just so he gets the full effect 😉 .
Even still I can tell he’s struggling… So this year I’m going all out! I was trying to decide what to do for my hubby to make it extra special when I came across this picture on Pinterest:
That’s right I am going to give him a present every hour on the hour! He is going to love it (I can already tell!) Of course some of the present ideas are going to be little: a new Broncos hat
But my favorite gifts? Well I’ve taken a bit of help from Pinterest… and I’m going for the full shabang. I really can’t wait until he opens them!
Open When Letters:
A full set of letters for “opening when!” Isn’t this a fun idea? Luckily I love to write and I want to start on these right away! I can’t wait to write these… as you may have figured out writing is kind of my thing so I absolutely love the idea of writing adorable letters for my hubby.
Bonus FREEBIE!
After I put together a set of letters for the hubs I figured I would share the printable prompts with all of you! Just scroll to the bottom of the page to download all 20 Open Letters I personally used for my hubby.
Enjoy!
Sharpie Mug
This one looks so easy! A white mug
Aluminum Wallet Card
I know he’ll love this one! An aluminum card that will fit perfectly into his wallet! I am going to have my vows to him printed up on a green card (his favorite color). Then he can take them with him… any time he remembers his wallet! 😉
Coupon Book
The old stand-by… a coupon book filled with things I know he’ll love! I think I’ll use some cute scrapbook paper
52 things I love about you:
A little deck of cards
I still need to come up with one big present to end the night out… I have a bit of time though so I’ll come up with something! Do any of you ladies (or gents) have ideas for more fabulous presents?!?! I’m kind of in a present mode!
P.S. Don’t worry I’ll share each present as I finish it! I wouldn’t leave you hanging like that!
P.P.S. My hubby does proofread all my posts but he never searches out my blog once it’s published… so he shouldn’t see this post. If for some reason you’re reading this honey… HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU STINKER!

Yay! Happy Mother’s Day gift ideas are the best.
Thanks Lisa! Mother’s Day gifts rock… but I’m not sure she would love any of the presents off this list for my hubby’s b-day! They are very different people! Hehe!
One of the best blogs I’ve seen in a while; I am now following you everywhere I can follow you.
Thanks Debra! That just makes my day! You are so sweet!
Wow you have one lucky husband – you have put a lot of effort in!!! For my husbands 30th birthday I gave him a surprise holiday. He had no idea where we were going until we were boarding the plane 🙂 He got a little note every morning telling him what adventures we were doing that day.
Wow he would love a surprise holiday… He loves all surprises, haha! This year is his 25th so maybe the next big milestone I could take him somewhere awesome! Thanks for the idea Donna!
These are some great gift ideas! I’m going to have to use some of these.
Glad I could help Jenny!
I love the present every hour. I always try do something special, but then I always wait until the last minute. Thanks for the heads up! Maybe I can come up with something like this for fathers day 🙂
I’m BAD about waiting until the last minute… I’m trying to be better! Hopefully this helps!
there are soooo many good ideas on here! i feel like this one post could span lots of Christmases and birthdays 🙂 … i especially love the card idea – you never know when he will need a pick me up. for my husband’s bday last year, i had all the important people in his life write him letters. he took his time opening them and the joy lasted for months. i might have to steal the card idea!
That’s such a fun idea! I might have to steal it next year!! Haha! I thought about saving some of these ideas for a different bday but I’m impatient… So they’re all happening now!
Oh I love that opening presents on the hour idea! It’s my husband’s 30th this year so maybe I need to work on that so he has like 30 presents or something like that. Well it’s in August so I have a little bit of time to work on it. His love languages are Words of Affirmation and Touch so I think the playing card idea might work. Then again we have our wedding anniversary first so might need to work on that. Love the ideas the though. Thanks for sharing.
I bet you could do so,etching he would really like if he’s words of affirmation! Happy anniversary and birthday to him… Sounds like you have lots of time to make it special! Thanks for stopping by!
Love these ideas! Popping in from The Peony Project. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by! Love the Peony Project!
These are great ideas! I am the worst at giving gifts! I am so impressed by your gift giving skills. Your husband is lucky to have you 🙂
I’m trying to match his mad gift giving skills… I’m a novice!
Very cute ideas! I’ve done the deck of cards one for my husband! So cute!
I bet he loved it! Thanks for stopping by!
Those are great ideas.. Love the idea of ‘open when’ letters. Thanks for sharing!

I loved that one! A lot of times I’ll come home and my hubby will give me a hug and say “I really missed you today” or “I was really depressed today” or “something exciting happened today” and I thought this would be a great way to give him something for those times I’m not there.
Love this! I go big with my husband too, especially on Valentine’s Day because it is typically female centered and I live in a house of men. This past year I printed out cards that said “I’m nuts about you” on a can of his favorite nuts, and one the said “You dounut know how much I love you” with a bag of douuts, ect. he loved them. Hope he has a great birthday this year!
That’s so cute! I love those ideas for vday… I have to admit I let my hubby spoil me on Valentine’s… It’s my favorite holiday!
I love the idea of the gifts on every hour! So neat. These are all wonderful ideas!!
Isn’t that fun! I thought it would be a great way to make the long road trip more birthday-ish!!
These are amazing gift ideas! I love how thoughtful they all are, and I’m sure your husband is going to be THRILLED! Well done!
Thanks Lisa! I can’t wait to give him everything!!!
Thanks Lisa! I am so excited to see his face when he opens them… It’s going to be good!
Wow! What lucky a lucky man! I love all of these ideas–thank you for sharing them with us!
Thank you for stopping by! I can’t wait for his birthday!
Great post! I really love the ideas you have come up with! What a great way to show you appreciation! I REALLY love the deck of cards! My husband loves cards and I know he will appreciate that! Thanks again! Amanda Marie~
These are all so sweet! My husband puts on a tough exterior but inside I know he would really like these. 🙂
