TK0001 97 Posted December 18, 2014 My wife and I decided this year that we wouldn't get each other gifts. Made sense, but it still took me awhile to come around. It's been tradition, after all, since we've been dating. But we realized that if we ever want something, we can just go buy it at any time and gift opening on Christmas morning should be about the kids. So we bought gifts for the kids and I was just settling in with the idea that I was done, and she told me last night that her and the kids got me something. So there's a week left and I don't know what to do. I can't take all the kids with me shopping for something for her. I work full time and could never I can easily get something off Amazon and have it here in a few days, but it wouldn't exactly be from the kids and me. Plus I don't know how much they spent. So I'll probably end up getting her a diamond tennis bracelet and I'll open a World's Greatest Dad mug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Orgazmo 2 Posted December 18, 2014 I went this direction - http://tensewatch.com/store/womens-c-30_36/ Partially because my wife has an allergy to metals, and partially because she's now an executive and a rubber sports watch won't cut. But. BUT. The reviews are good, and the ladies like how they get noticed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KSB2424 3,083 Posted December 18, 2014 Dude it's my wife. We've been together for 20 years. I think I know her. also really? fock Whenver my wife pulls this nonsense, I normally go with tickets to a play or some other gift that involves "doing something" as opposed to something tangible. We have small kids so the one thing she covets is a night out to do adult stuff like dinner and a show. Or a mini vacation with just the two of us. Or, well you get the idea.

BiPolarBear 476 Posted December 18, 2014 I have a tree in my front yard that doesn't have a name. It is O.K. with me if somebody wants to name it after their wife or SO. It is a live oak. You know, everybody pictures the native Americans killing buffalo and stuff, but the herds only came through ever so often. They couldn't follow them because they would get whacked by another tribe. What they usually ate was acorns off of oak trees. They must have got pretty hungry before they tried them because they taste horrible. You have to grid them up on a rock and soak the pulp in water for a day. Then you throw out the water and do it again. It still tasted bad, but you can gag it down. Eating that stuff all the time, it is easy to figure that if you were a hunter and strolled into camp with a rabbit or a squirrel the girls would be lining up to play dirty beaver. Anyway, the tree is about two stories high now. It has some day lilies planted around it inside a small brick circle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
