What Are You Getting Your Spouse for Christmas?

[plateauguy]

The season of peace and joy is coming fast. I'll admit I'm usually a "last minute" kind of guy, but this year is different.
I've already bought my wife a new Nikon camera (I'll be able to post better pictures on the forum) and pearl earrings. I will be adding foo-foo stuff in also.
So, what are you doing for your spouse for Christmas?

We took out first nice family picture, so I'll probably get us a large picture on canvas or something.

I'm buying my spouse a new pipe...
...but since I'm single, I'll just have to keep it for myself. :mrgreen:

 

[kcghost]

I usually give mine another chance.

A copy of "The Taming of the Shrew" by the Bard. Oh, and an original vinyl of "Play With Fire" by The Rolling Stones.

My wonderful wife is a fan of things which sparkle, so I'll probably season the tree liberally with little boxes that go a long way. I'll also hold onto the gift receipts for the occassional, "That's... Lovely."

She really wants more quilting supplies. I want supplies for woodworking. We probably will buy our own present and have the other one wrap it.

I transfer $1,500 to The Redhead's checking account after Thanksgiving and she gets what she wants.

My kind of gift giving Roth. The perfect gift every time! 8)

I am not a shopper, don't go to town unless I have to, I give the wife the Exxon dividend check we get on the 15th of Dec for whatever she wants.

I'm getting her a new camera and she's giving me her 5D Mark ii to use for my pipes. So she gets something and I get something.

Just told my wife what her limit was and go buy what she wants with it. Already bought her a light gray dress coat for formal wear, and we just made our first house purchase. She let me get a scope and a Gasparini with a bunch of tobacco, and hinted to either a Wii U or a iPad mini. Kids are gonna enjoy the Wii more than me. :lol:

I do not have a wife. I have bought gifts for other family members. To me the fellowship and the time spent together always has greater meaning to me. My mom is in poor health so this may be her last Christmas so I want it to be special for her.

If I can swing it, and she agrees, maybe a new scanner printer. Tomorrow I have to get a new cartridge for my printer

that we're currently sharing. I'll probably go with HP, because they seem like work horses. There may be better, but

I doubt there are more reliable. I've already gotten her more interesting and fun stuff to wear and such, at the church

art festival with local crafts people, jewelry makers, and such.

:lol:
flmason, I hope your family has a wonderful Christmas with mom.

 

[voorhees]

GOOD Heavens!! It's here again???? Not a clue. Must start working on that now.

 

[hobie1dog]

A new bottle of Astroglide :rofl:

 

[dragonslayer]

I'll want to do something cool like in the old days. But she has everything she wants. If she likes something she just goes and gets it, so after 30 years it's a bit hard. I was thinking of a gift certificate for P&C, but that will not go over well :rofl:
So I'll probably go with my last minute standby the last few years and get her a couple hundred dollars of spa massages. Makes her happy which is always good when the bill comes in January for all the TAD's from December. I just say "wouldn't a massage be great right now?"

My wife has been pushing pretty hard for a dog for a while now so if I can find one she will probably either be getting a springer spaniel or Boykin spaniel. The hard part about that is finding one. If not that maybe jewelry.

....as long as it's not penicillin, you should be fine.

Me and the Mrs. don't exchange gifts anymore. Use to but after the twins were born all the money goet towards them. However if she or I see something we really want through the year we get it and say this is my Christmas ::
