Original Gifts List From The Song – Modified To Suit Our Today’s Lifestyle
Technically speaking, 12 days of Christmas gifts offering tradition should begin on the day of Christmas and should go on until January 6. But most of the people today celebrate this tradition starting from December 14 such that it ends on the day of Christmas. Based on your conveniences and time schedule you can decide when to start executing the 12 days of Christmas gifts ideas. May it be December 14th or December 25th, it will do just fine.
Holiday season spending around Christmas with your husband or boyfriend is one of the most romantic times of the year. Instead of delivering the gifts only on the day of festival, you can start the tradition of celebrating 12 days of Christmas with 12 different gifts. These gifts can be given to your husband, boyfriend, kids, parents or anyone you like. Surely,these little surprises will enrich the festival and strengthen your relationship. You might be corrupted or broken financially. But it can’t be the reason for not offering the happiness your true love deserves. How much you can spend on your gifts is really doesn’t a matter. Does it?
Anyway, choosing the 12 impressive gifts is bit complicated and frustrating too especially for men. If you ever followed this tradition before, you must have known the pain and the gain too. No matter how hard it is, at the end of the day when he opens your gifts, when his eyes beam with happiness, you will realize that it is worth a pain.
Here i have compiled 2 different versions of gifts in the same list. The idea here is serving both kinds of people (people who want pocket friendly gifts and people who want classy gifts at any cost). When the gifts given in the buy now option seems pricey, you can move on with the ones given in alternatives.
Tips
No matter whether you want to keep your gifts pocket friendly or expensive, as we are celebrating it as a part of Christmas festive season, it makes sense to go with the popular song “On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me”.
12 Days of Christmas Gift Ideas for Husband | Boyfriend
As some of the gifts specified in the song seems impractical today, I have modified most of the gifts to suits our today’s lifestyle.
For example, on the day 7 according to the song version, it’s seven swans swimming. Do presenting swans make any sense? Can it serve any useful purpose? For such gifts you can always interchange the items with the related one. In this scenario you can simply offer 7 duckie lollipops or 7 soap set.
No matter how inexpensive the gift is, men love the useful things. By keeping this factor in mind I have come up with the 12 days of Christmas gifts list as below. If you are a home maker, you must have hell lot of works piled up on your shoulders for this holiday season.

Hope you can utilize this time to carry out the rest of the things.
