I found the perfect Christmas gift for my husband!
He's not easy to buy for. His two passions are fishing and wood-working, and he was supposed to tell me what reel he wanted. But now, all he does is shrug and tell me he doesn't really want anything.
The thing is, I'm sure he doesn't. He's one of the most laid-back, non-materialistic person I know. His contracting job doesn't exactly require suits or anything, so he wears his jeans and t-shirts until they fall apart. He has one suit and 2 nice pair of jeans and a handful of decent shirts. He doesn't need anything else, and if he does, he buys it. He never wants anything more than a good meal, and if he does - like a new reel or a new table saw - he generally buys it.
But I thought of the perfect thing! I thought this could be a thread in which to celebrate the perfect gifts we're giving, because, if you're like me, you hate giving gift cards and rack your brain in order to find a present that fits the person.
My gift: Kid Rock tickets.
My husband loves Kid Rock and thinks he puts on one hell of a show (which he does). He really loves the new song "Born Free." My stepdaughter loves that song too, and my husband said if Kid Rock put on a show nearby, we'd take our stepdaughter for her first concert.
Well, Kid Rock isn't touring anywhere near us.
The closest place - on a Saturday so that we can take the kiddo (her mother wouldn't let her out of school) - is 7.5 hours away.
No problem. I'll get us a hotel room.
Tickets go on sale Thursday, and I am psyched!
