What to Get the Wife for Christmas?

I already got my wife a present -- not a surprise to her, but now I don't have to listen to her ask why she can't have ONE when I have 15 or so (can't remember...) ....... I didn't pay crap for it either! Seals the deal for me to buy more for meself ....

Anything small, shiny, glittery, expensive and useless usually works.

My old girlfriend was really down to earth, I got her a toolbox of tools once as side present because she needed them. Actually went over very well and she proudly showed them to anyone. She needed them though as every time I went to fix something no damn tools.

That's what I gave last year....

Then get her 2 tons and tell her you spent twice as much on her gift this year.

How 'bout gift certificates? Not for Walmart, but things like oil changes, movie theater tickets, her beauty shop/tanning salon, sporting events, favorite coffee shop or restaurant, or a specialty shop that caters to her interests (kitchen shop, art gallery, fabric shop, Cabelas). You can support her interests and not screw up by getting the wrong size, color, vacuum cleaner model.

like Charlie wrote a gift certifcate. Maybe a nice place for massage and other things they do there.

Na, gift cirtificates will get you into hot water too, because you did not put any emmotional effort into it. Remember they are different animals than us guys,sintiment rules!

Yes, they most certainly are

My wife said "Get me something expensive, get me something I don't really need". So.... I scheduled her for a colonoscopy.

if it was something she Didn't need I would schedule a Mammogram

I do those exams myself

I am getting my wife the "Winning" lottery ticket
I hope

I dunno. You might get the favor returned in the form of a divorce by Valentine's Day.

When I was single I really wanted two things - a Makita drill and an electric screwdriver. I really needed both of those things, but no one would buy them for me. Not considered good presents for a female! I had to buy the drill myself, and I did get that Makita, and just settled for a regular set of screwdrivers.

Hmmmm, good idea.... Maybe I'll get my wife a small toolset. She's always "Borrowing" my tools, but never returns them. I once found my framing hammer in the dinning room cubbard!
