A man’s home is his castle, and as such, he should be treated like a king. And this fun, retro volume shows wives how to keep his royal highness happy.
When he returns home from his demanding job, a man rightfully deserves a bit of pampering. A happy smile, a warm kiss, and a pair of cozy slippers are just the start.

This is a hilarious gag gift for a bride... Some of the advice is not only soooooo outdated but June Cleaver herself would have gasped! This book is a staple in my bachelorette gifts.

This is a laugh out loud walk through the past -- the book is filled with retro photographs of couples from the 1950's. A great book to pull out in a party of married couples. Husbands will run for cover, while the women scream with delight. A great bridal shower gift.

This is a 1950s circa guide on how to be the perfect wife. There are numbered rules such as "Sing HIs Praises" and "A Wife's Duty". The topics are hilarious and the pictures are great, too. I got this for my niece for her bridal shower, I am sure it will be a hit. It is hard bound (all the pages, not just the cover) and well worth the $10. I just noticed there is a perfect husband guide, too, that will be on my next amazon order.
