Xmas cards for your "DH"

[stoopidCUPID]

Am I the only one finding it hard to find a "husband" card without the fluffy slushy words inside.

We are making a go of it after his affair - all the cards I can see so far include words that really aren't currently appropriate such as "you are the one I can depend on"..... "Trust the most" ..... Boak!

I don't want to not get him a card / but am really stuck as the ones I see just evoke unhappy memories.

Get him a "joke" card from Moonpig. Then you can edit it how you like.

I agree with getting a customised one. Otherwise, M&S do extortionate nice plain ones, 'to a dear husband' and inside, 'with love'. That's the one I got. I prefer to write my own mush.

You have my sympathies as I have this problem for my mum's birthday/ Christmas. Most of the versus make it sound like I'm having a dig or taking the piss.

Or get a neutral card and write your own message inside.

Are there any suitable ones in "The one I love" [boak] section?

I got one from Sainsburys for my DH saying That I already know you are the luckiest man in the world this Xmas ........... because you have me for a wife. and we aren't having issues at all.

sounds like it was written for you

Why do you need piece of card to 'send' to someone you wake up with and verbally say 'happy christmas' to?

I have this problem as I'm just hanging on in there and won't send a card which says something I don't feel! I' ve found a Quentin Blake one in John Lewis which says Special Husband on the front and he can take that how he likes!! Inside it just say Wishing you a brilliant Christmas.

Why on earth does it have to be a "husband" card? You buy a card with a snowman, or a robin, or a snowflake or something and you write what you want in it. Job done.

Agree, Hollybush. Why the hell do you need to send a card to the people in your own house ffs? Just say 'Happy Christmas' and tell them you love them.
What a waste of paper and card. Seriously.

Another one who doesn't get giving Christmas cards to people you are going to see, but if you must, why must it be a 'husband' one, or even a card? If you want to convey your feelings to him at Christmas card (and you must do, or else why would you be getting him one) then write him a letter.

I've gotta find a birthday, anniversary & Xmas card for 'd'h with no gushing mushiness.
Not found any yet!

FFS hasn't the OP got enough on her plate without being harangued for buying a Christmas card as well. We could all do lots of things or refrain from doing lots of things that aren't strictly 'necessary' but what we do/don't do is our own choice to make.

DH and his family send cards to anything that moves. I feel a bit mean not getting DH one when he always has got me a really carefully chosen card. So after 18 yrs of it i've given in and joined up. But I agree. Waste of card.

we send each other birthday cards, but I honestly think at christmas it is just a daft waste of money..

MIL is forever sending those birthday and Christmas cards with 'Daughter In-law', 'son', 'niece', 'grandson' etc emblazoned all over them. I'd noticed these in card shops before, but had never known anyone to actually send them. I find them odd. Also impersonal, somehow.

We don't do cards, apart from to each other. Would never, ever buy one that said 'husband' or that had a message printed inside. Just something arty and overpriced!

We use it as an opportunity to write something really heartfelt, things that we might not say that often.

My dh is very good at writing something lovely that is guaranteed to make me cry on Christmas morning. (Although the surfeit of champagne might have something to do with the lachrymose tendency)
