Emotional/foo-foo/physical needs have been met. The customary practical (why I love her, she's practical) requirement will be met by her birthday morning. Her opening a standard can of sauce or whatever is painful for her physically. I cannot allow her to suffer like that, and she refuses to ask me to do it.

Thanks all for the opinions. Very helpful.

My wife insisted that she only wanted a new ironing board one Christmas. Her sisters were ready to keel haul me until they learned that I had also given her some much nicer gifts.
Being practical is risky business.
No can opener should come without something that shines, sparkles or smells expensive. Your hide or your reputation will thank us.

go ahead leave us hanging , nobody cares what you got her anyway
