Million bucks

1a. Has your wife ever done something that made you feel like a million bucks?

1b. Has your husband ever done anything that made you feel like a kid in a candy store?

- Are these sentences the same meaning and natural to say?

Thank you very much, Teachers

They are natural enough in informal circumstances, though both idioms are rather old-fashioned now. The meanings are not the same. 'Feel like a million bucks' = feel very good, be euphoric.
