I second the picture idea... I did that a couple of years ago with my son when he was around 4 years old..... we did the vintage dress up thing and the pix are all sepia etc...when she opened them on Xmas she started to cry..... then she showed it to ALL of her friends, co-workers, neighbors etc etc etc..... all her friends were smacking their husbands and saying "why cant you do stuff like that !!"...

The problem is that once you do a great gift, you have to keep matching or topping it every year and that gets hard..

I've done the jewelry thing but my wife's not hard core into that stuff and since we've been together so long, I've bought just about every variety, so now I start repeating stuff

Buy her a Coach, Louis Vuitton or any other high end purse. Most women don't expect men to buy purses so it's a great surprise

I figure we could post some ideas here and help each other out, so I'll start.

15 qt. Magnalite pot and perfume...

The way I read this post was toss up your funny or other wise ideas, lets hear them, we all need a little laughter this time of year.
Put on your funny hats and let it rip.



I think miss pretty should get the second mortgage application for my new garage.

I just asked my wife what she thinks about this (good way for me to figure out what she wants) and her suggestion was to get her one item that she wants, but use the box to wrap a different item, like jewelry. That way it throws her off, but she still gets what she wants.

Hope it helps.
