Default What is a good Christmas gift from Michaels Craft?

So my DH is still looking for Christmas ideas to give me for Christmas. I have a 50% off coupon and wanted to give him a few things on a list that come from Michaels. But I seriously can't think of anything. LOL Any ideas? What would you get from Michaels that would be a nice gift?

Crop-o-dile or Big Bite would be the hybrid things I could think of. I'd go for the Big Bite. Aside from that, my purchases from there are only expensive cuz I get a million things that aren't that expensive, but add up, kwim??

They may have some nice scrapping laptop bags. (I think I've seen them at AC Moore, but I can't remember about Michaels.) Another option would be to have something professionally framed for you or to buy you some nice frames.

Crop-a-dile, Big Bite, a good paper trimmer for at least 12x12 papers, any of the cute cabinets or organization systems they've got.....

scrapbooking books/idea books are on my wishlist

Cricut (I think thats what its called)

depending on what type of crafts you do I also always love to get new yarns and pattern books for corcheting

cross-stitch/embroidery kits (some can get very expensive)

thats about all I can think of

I don't think the 50% off coupon can be used on the Xyron. I know it can't be used on the Cricut.

In addition to the Crop-a-dile, embellishment center, desk caddy which are all great ideas. Some of my favorites are:
Martha Stewart's border punches
Cutterbee Scissors
and
I'd love a Cuttlebug Machine

Neither books/magazines or the Cricut (or anything Cricut related) can be used with a coupon. Which totally sucks!!!

I've used the coupon on a Xyron. Both an expensive one and the gluerunner thingy. Maybe they've changed their policy, but the gluerunner thingy I just bought in the summer.

I checked my coupon and it does exclude Cricut, but says nothing about Xyron.

Go for the Xyron!! Totally makes it fun to do the little albums and stuff! Does it only cover one item or the whole purchase? If its the whole purchase (I know not likely) stock up on the refills, you will be looking for a chance to use the Xyron once you get one!! (Doesn't work on a two year old darn it!!)
