Although it may not sound romantic, I gave my DH 4 new tires for his truck as his christmas present. But how to wrap that one? I made IOU cards.
I had this PSX stamp of a truck carrying christmas trees. It was perfect! I stamped and embossed it, but then cut the tires out! I placed the two tires on the inside of the card with IOU wording. To add to the mystery, I made two different certificates. We open some presents on Christmas Eve so I gave him one card. He thought it was great (once he got the idea of the gift) but had a puzzled look on his face because it was only 2 tires. Being the ultimate gentleman, he didn't say anything. Needless to say, when he opened the second certificate the next day and saw that it was for 2 more tires... the smile was even bigger.

Very clever! My boyfriend once gave me tires for an occasion. Guess it's even less romantic when you aren't married. But I definitely needed them. Love your cards!
