Thanks so much for these cute poems. Now I need to get off here and get my pillow gifts together adn get packing. I am leaving in 7 hours and I still have hundred things to do.DebbieSAChef said:Just know that I love you
Even though I am gone
I will be back soon
It won't be that long
Enjoy your surprise
it was given in love
You're my sweet little (boy/girl)
That I am so proud of
It's day two that I am not with you
But another gift you should receive
I wish I was there to see your smile
You are so special, I do believe
I miss you lots and wish you well
I think of you each and every day
Think of me when you see your gift
And I won't seem so far away!
Can you believe I'm almost home?
Wow it's already day number three
Time is certainly flying by
And another gift you will soon see
Lots of wet kisses and giant bear hugs
Is something I want you to give me
So get in some practice on daddy tonight
And that will make me so happy
Here are some cute poems. You can also make some poems based on the first letter of each of your child's names!! I love doing that. Leave some cute jokes, or some riddles.
Hope this helps.

Consider leaving small toys, books, or personalized notes that express your love and encouragement. You could also include a fun activity kit or a DIY craft project that they can enjoy while you're away.
Surprise your partner with a heartfelt love letter, a favorite snack, or a small token that represents a shared memory. You might also include a gift card for a date night or a cozy blanket for them to snuggle with while you’re gone.
Look for inexpensive yet thoughtful items like homemade treats, a framed family photo, or a handwritten poem. You can also create a "coupon book" with offers for chores or special favors that they can redeem later.
Absolutely! Consider leaving a voucher for a family outing, such as a trip to the zoo or a movie night at home. You could also plan a future family game night or picnic and leave a note about it as a surprise.
Tailor each pillow gift to the recipient's interests. For example, leave a book for the avid reader, a puzzle for the problem solver, or a cooking gadget for the chef in the family. Personal touches like their favorite colors or themes can make the gifts even more special.
