Shopping done.
I got several bags of coal under the tree last year right after we installed our Harman. My parents always told me I was going to get coal from Santa..guess I was really bad last year. My neighbor who got lots of expensive jewelry couldn't understand why I was thrilled to get coal. Does your wife like to cook? I also received a Nu-wave oven last year. I didn't think I would use it much, but it sits on my countertop and I use it most everyday. It makes a great half chicken from frozen in about an hour. Tender inside and crispy outside. I should do the info-mercial, lol. I assume you're looking for something other than baubles and perfume. What interests does your wife have? Give us some more information and I'll bet we can come up with a great idea.

I was kicking around the idea of a brand new vacuum . If not that a new blender. Women love that stuff. Right?

Bad idea. What not buy her a new broom instead, it's cheaper and easier for her to lift as she hits you over the head with it!I was kicking around the idea of a brand new vacuum
At least that's what would happen here....

Gotta be careful with the broom thing, most likely will be taken as 1)the house is too dirty or 2):
OOPS!!! I accidentally posted a picture of my now-deceased mother-in-law!!!-

The house is too dirty, so either way I will make a point!

My husband tells me every year that if I don't send a letter to Santa, he's going to bring me another vacuum clean. I've got quite a few....I never write a letter. The best of them was an iRobot Roomba. Does a pretty good job vacuuming and keeps the dogs entertained for a long time.mr1precision wrote: was kicking around the idea of a brand new vacuum .
More husbands should buy us what we REALLY want, lol.WNY wrote:I already bought the wife a new stainless dual exhaust for her mustang....blahhahhaha.... (i am not kidding!)

Now I'm really hoping she doesn't read over your shoulder. I always blame the dirty house on the coal dust...
