Husband Emergency Card Kit

[mtgchic]

So I'm planning on taking some cards into the school where I work as a Race for the Cure fundraiser. Since it is a high school, we do have a fair number of male teachers...I was thinking of doing a 6 or 8 pack of "emergency" cards that would last them through a year. Such as:

Birthday
Anniversary
Valentine's
Sorry I'm Such an Idiot
Just Because (maybe this as "bonus" 3x3 to slip into her purse?)

Any other ideas of cards you would like to get from your hubby?

How about

you're the best mom! or
You're the best wife! or
I'm so lucky to have you! or
I'm so smart to have married you!
or
coupon for a night out

I personally would like my husband to give me a card that says "let's go buy you a really awesomely huge diamond!" LOL :-D

Ha, I could also add:
"Have you lost weight?"
"Your PMS makes life exciting!"
"You DESERVE a new pair of shoes!"

Thanks for the other ideas, too!

You better put in 8 of "I'm such an Idiot and I'm Sorry". I taught high school for 25 years and married one of those guys. Voice of experience here!

I'm reading this to my husband and even he is laughing!

You didn't even need to ask for suggestions! With these, you have all the bases covered. I'm still chuckling!:-D

"I'm so sorry i laughed when you said you'd be able to fit into those little jeans again, after losing all that baby weight!"

(had to add this one, as my husband did this to me when i was about 8 months pregnant, and then i showed him by fitting into them 4 months later!)

Ouch! At least you showed him!

My DH loves to pull the "Well, at least you have a pretty face" line...completely jokingly, of course!

Bump for any new ideas.

Could I CASE your idea and make some kits of my own to give/sell?????

What about some Christmas cards? and maybe some thank you cards, like thanks for putting up with me, thanks for being my wife etc.

Amen to that!

Get Well Soon card that he could send to a family member, friend or give to his SO.

Yeah I know women do all the thinking of cards to send...but if he had one maybe maybe he could save his SO a trip to the store.

Great idea by the way.

How about a "thanks for last night" card?! Seriously, wouldn't that be fun to get?! My hubby gave me a card not to long ago that said "you're still the one" It was a just because card, no occasion. It was really great!

[Rubbernecker]

When I get around to making these for a craft fair (don't hold your breath), I'm putting a birthday card and Mother's Day card for HIS mother. How often does the guy "forget" to get the card for his mom and the wife end up having to come through (or make one, in our cases). Answer: Usually to Always.

Good luck with your sale.

I have a great male friend at work and he buys lots of thank you cards. He also sends sympathy cards. He is a bachelor but needs birthday cards for his sisters and nieces, nephews etc. Could you have a selection and let them pick 6 or 8. Then they could cover their bases.

Great ideas for ready to go cards! They always need an *I am So Sorry* too!

CASE all you want, my friend! I hope to work on it this weekend and will post 'em when I get through.

Thanks for all the ideas! I never thought of Mother's Day-that's a good one.

I wonder how I could make a "thanks for last night" that would pass the censors....

Last summer (a year ago) I made a bunch of these and sold them at work (UPS.) I made about ten kits before I took an extra part time job and didn't have time for it anymore.
Last week one of the drivers asked for another kit! He said his wife loved the cards, and he loved having them there when he wanted to give her something. My basic kit is:
Birthday
anniversary
mother's day
valentines day
I'm sorry
Besides that some of the guys buy a 'just because' card for whenever. My kit is $10 for 5 cards, or $12 if they get the extra card. I've been really happy to make so many UPS driver's wives happy!

"Thank you" on the outside...

"for last night" on the inside. (You could computer generate this.)
