A pillow gift? What’s that, you ask? A pillow gift is a small gift that is left on someone’s pillow at the end of a long, busy day of hosting and or celebrating.

Traditionally, the pillow gift idea is marketed to husbands, to help them with a thoughtful, sometimes romantic gift to say “thank you” to their wife for being the hostess-with-the-mostest.

It’s a great romantic notion, isn’t it? But why can’t we turn it around and, as wives, leave a pillow gift for our husbands?

My husband is a tremendous help when we are hosting get-togethers.  He helps with the preparations, he keeps the guests entertained while I finish with the food, and he does a great job of “toddler-wrangling” so that I can enjoy myself too.

We are not hosting the family gathering on Christmas, but there are countless other things that my husband does for which I am very thankful.  So I think he deserves a pillow gift.

What about your spouse? Does he deserve some appreciation this holiday season? Show your appreciation with a small gift left on his pillow at the end of a long day of celebrating.
