Turned fail into win

The other evening my wife and I were sitting outside talking and having a cool drink. She mentioned the days getting longer and just as I was about to launch into an explanation of the summer solstice I remembered that we got married on that day. It was our anniversary and she had said nothing all day. I sheepishly told her "Happy Anniversary" and she looked at me blankly. I could tell that she too had forgotten by the look on her face. I was one up!
She went to the fence to talk to the neighbor and I went to the shop where I quickly cut a wordart fridge magnet that said "I love you". When she came back in I gave it to her. Now I was two up.
This made me think of an idea. I'll make up several of these and sell them as Husband Survival Packs. Buy it now and put it away for an emergency. When you need a fast gift but have forgotten the occasion you're prepared. ha ha ha

Be my guest. I thought someone might be able to use it and I am glad you can.

Thanks to all for the good wishes. She's a good woman and I am proud she's my wife; much better than I deserve. ha ha ha She takes good care of me.

Only down side with your idea is 95% of craft fair shoppers are women so marketing to men won't cut it. Just my 2 cents.
