What gift do you buy your spouse for the holidays?
I remember in the early years of our marriage it was sparkly jewelry and cashmere. Â As the years went on, the gifts became more practical. Â Then we started buying “couples” gifts. Â Maybe a vacation, Â or even a completely non-romantic refrigerator! Â We use Christmas as an excuse to make that big purchase like a flat screen tv or home theater system. Â With the black Friday sales, it actually works out to be a great time to pick up that big item.
My Holiday Gift Guide pick for that “Big Ticket” couples gift this year is a Sealy Posturepedic Mattress! Â When I did the mattress giveaway a few months back, I was truly struck by how many people were in the same situation as us – in desperate need of a mattress but dragging our feet on buying one. Â And I can 100% say that replacing our mattress (Sealy provided ours) and Rosie’s (we bought the same model Sealy Posturepedic for her), was the best change in our home in 2011. Â Having a good mattress and getting a good night’s sleep, has made a big difference in my health and happiness. Â It is incredible the difference a good night’s sleep and a reduction in muscle aches can make in your attitude. Â With more stamina, you have more patience. Â Without pain, you have more room for laughter. Â And without going into detail *blush*, a mattress can also be a romantic gift – well more than a refrigerator anyway!
