Mortgage Grapevine

I am trying to be on the ball this year, what should I get my wife for Christmas?

If I spend too much I will be in trouble, and if I don't spend enough I will be in trouble. I guess main issue is I have no idea what that number is so at this point I am just looking for ideas.

Something thoughtful and inexpensive?
The thoughtful part will outweigh the inexpensive.
Jewelry not to expensive with something inscribed on it?
Last year for x-mas I got a new coach purse which was ok but he also got me something memorable, he actually took the time to make a scrapbook of things we had done together, pictures, concert ticket stubs... i still have it and love to show it off, so I guess as long as you throw something thoughtful in with the gift it will be great....

Or get her a mop or a new ironing board, im sure she would love it...

There is no way I am making a fucking scrapbook.

not saying it has to be that, my husband is a Tattoo artist so he draws alot and is really artsy.. so that was something thoughtful... most ladies like things that make them feel special something that you actually take time out to work on... or maybe you have a wife who like pretty shiney things that cost alot of money.. that works too...

get her a puppy

Vinnie,

Get her a younger better looking version of yourself with a motor that doesn't run on Viagra.

Seriously, talk with her friends first. And listen to what she says, they always drop hints. Now I know the listing part will be difficult, but it actually works. And if you actually succeed and get her something she really likes, she just might let you do that thing you always wanted to.

peace

No pets.

My wife likes pretty shiney things, but she would be pissed at me if I bought her one. She has been asking me to put up this tile backsplash maybe I will just do that and call it a day.
by Vinnie The Leg Breaker November 20, 2009 2:44 PM

LMAO (no F'ing scrapbook!)

How about a plaster of Paris cast of your schlong, ala Jimmy Hendrix? Womens dig that kind of thing.

That sounds nice... And maybe a little shiney thing... im sure you can get a little one....just in case she considers the whole backsplash thing something you should have done anyways...
by BOYDSTUN951 November 20, 2009 2:55 PM

you know Mr.wonderfull,

Thats not a half bad idea to enshrine your wife in art. Like the pregnant girls taking casts of their bulging tummy's.


peace

Probably cheaper to buy the shiney thing as that would take a lot of plaster of paris.

...funny store. Off topic. My oldest now 16, when she was in kindergarden, they must have been doing something with the whole, "What do I wanna be when I grow up" thing. They had this humongous poster, had the kids name on it, and was hanging from the ceiling as you walked in to the class.

Three inches of plaster of paris is not a lot.

Buy her pj's. There not expensive or shiney.

However, they could be flashy.


by doccustodian November 20, 2009 4:42 PM

Tell her you purchased tickets for this entire show http://www.summerfest.com and you are planning on letting your hair, beard grow till then.

She might be satisfied with anything but that!!
by Snapper November 20, 2009 7:19 PM

Thoughtful wins every time. Listening was a good idea. Hire someone to make the scrapbook, vin.

I like cheese. Give her some wine and cheese. Lots of wine. You will have a good time after a bottle or two. But don't forget the cheese.
