I've heard that a vacuum, mop and bucket, or carpet cleaner are the wrong answer

Gun Belt, flashlight, and rain guards for her car windows. Super romantic gifts.

Might also grab a gift certificate for a couples massage or something, so it's not quite so dude like presents, but it's the things she wanted. I rather get her something she tells me she wants than waste a bunch of time getting "ideal" presents.

This was a 50th wedding anniversary 12/16 and Xmas. Did it last week and went to the range with a box of 22 shorts - the smile on both of our faces was the best - Watching her load in one by one and shoot with no recoil and no hot brass bouncing all over. She got her cowgirl gun.

For Christmas this year, I'm giving her WeatherTech floor mats for her car.

After almost 20 years in our house our firelogs discentegrated. This was about 3 years ago. She loves fires. I always thought it was just pouring money up the chimney. So I've been down playing it.

I've even gone as far as "blocking" the fireplace with boxes to "keep the dogs from the stockings". What she doesn't know is that I had a guy come in and install brand new, ventless, logs last week. I'll get up before her in the morning and turn them on so when she rises, they will be going.

That's her "big" present. Good thing she doesn't read SIG Forum!

Of course, if she's a Star Wars fan, you can "Kill two birds with one gift". https://geekysextoys.com/brands/star-toys/

Her Samsung Galaxy S4 went haywire recently. She has been using my old one. So, she is getting a new Galaxy S6 Edge and a nice leather protective case for it.

That's pretty cool. The Star Wars stuff, TMI.

Jacks are becoming accessories in the house. When I asked her if she knew what the game of jacks is she said she had no idea.

That is when I knew what her Christmas gift was.

I’ll find out how well she receives her present tonight Razz

Her other gift is a set of AirPods. Well, not the actual, just a receipt that they are on the way. It helps to tell me more than 4 days in advance that that is what you want for Christmas.

She wanted a SAR BP6 in purple, so I got her one. And a fruitcake and some fancy tea. And I did just buy her a new house.

Got her a 10ft long live edge slab of 1 inch thick walnut. We're going to make a bench for the kitchen table for when the son, his wife and grandkids come over. She loved it!

Stepping on jacks make stepping on Lego feel downright comfy.

Apparently I suck at gifting.

Last year I noticed that the (then... Big Grin) girlfriend didn't have a nice winter coat. So, I splurged and bought her a very nice coat. I even went so far as to include a scarf and some mittens.

Her response? "You got me a coat?" Roll Eyes

You're welcome and, oh...adios.

This year I went to Costco and got the dog a big box of Milk Bones. He's happy as a clam and loves me more than ever.

There's a lesson there.

Well she is not my wife, but damn near that. I got her something only another woodturner would understand, a Robert Sorby chatter tool, something she really wanted to help decorate the tops of her lidded boxes.
