My man is very lucky...his birthday gift is expensive!

September 17th, 2008 at 12:12 pm

Baseball boy's birthday is next month. I have been planning his gift for almost a year.

I am going to get one of his Double A jerseys matted and framed and include a plaque detailing the team and stats.

He has about 20 jerseys sitting at his parents house that he has collected over the years, and I figured if I get one done every holiday, it will be better than getting them all done at once.

I went to Michaels yesterday and OMG! It's almost $300! I had no idea. I'm still going to do it- once we buy a house we want to hang up his jerseys and I guess we hypothetically have 'more money now than we will after we buy a house. It might be years before we can afford to do it then.

One GOOD thing coming from the upcoming wedding and now his birthday is that when BB brings up spending money on food I just get stone cold no nonsense and am like "I am in the process of paying almost $25,000 for the wedding next month- I am not spending a DIME except your birthday." And he shuts up. He totally gets that line. $25,000 is a scary amount to him too. When I had the $5,000 credit card debt- that didnt bother him- it wasnt a 'scary amount'...but this wedding is. Thank god somethings shutting down the spending!

AND one of the expensive items was bid on eBay!!

    Hope you're using a Michael's coupon (they ALWAYS have them for framing)... and that you shopped around first!

    Good luck!

    I get t shirts made for my husband every year with a picture of his favorite hot rod, a 33 ford victoria. They cost about $12.99.

    You can frame it yourself. When my daughter came from Korea, we got a shadow box (I think that's the name of it) and stuck a piece of styrofoam in it. Then we arranged the outfit she came home in with her passport and birth announcement. We then pinned everything onto the styrofoam so you can't see the pins. People see it and think we paid big money to have it done, but it cost $30 total.

    That is a very nice gift... my BF's birthday is next month too, but I'm afraid his gifts won't be nearly as expensive! Big Grin
    Good for you for at least planning ahead... I usually have to wait and see what video game is coming out that he would like!
