Why won't he wear silk boxers?

I reckon he'd look dead sexy in them!

;o))

Apologies if this has already been said, but I just googled - silk presents - and there are websites, one suggests silk cufflinks which you can buy online...but more the usual boxer shorts, ties socks etc....buy him a pair of silk worms and a book on "developing your imagination".....lol

If I am not too late you could get some of that Dove Body Lotion that has silk in it - or is it Nivea?

Anyway, give him a massage with it - it isn't SUCH a tenuous link and I bet he won't mind anyway, lol!

You could always buy him silk flowers and you would get something out of it.

silk worm from a toy shop?

Whats the saying...You cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear.
You could buy him a pigs ear from pet shop and tell him it was true...you cant pmsl

Update for you all

two further days of rushing round town in my lunch hour and still no present for hubby!! :-(

Mind you i have found a wonderful card for him so not all is lost.

I can't find silk blend socks, shirts or hankies, bookmarks...parachutes, lol...and don't trust him with sharp needles ( a long story bout blood, lol) so can't do the sewing idea,

I have found a stunning tie tat will be deal the next time he wears his suit...but that could be a heck of a long time away, so failing a miracle or a blindingly good idea by tomorrow morning it may have to be the tie :-)
