Valentines Day Gift Challenge

So every holiday or special occasion that calls for a gift is easy for me. I know the things that my husband is into and likes and I am always quick to drop quite a few pennies on a gift for him, justifying that he works extremely hard and deserves it! And he does. But I decided this Valentines Day to see how "inexpensive" I could go on his gift. I think I did pretty well. Lucky for me my husband is not a "gift" guy. I can give him a card and he would be happy!

Desktop calendar that he got last week!

So what did I get him?
