What are you getting your wife?

@BigClay I bet you don't say that to her. Over the 18 years we've been married I've made the mistake of saying similar things and it never goes as planned. Lol

LOL, I showed her this thread and she said "you asshole" as she laughed, that probably means I am not getting lucky tonight haha

Ended up getting one hell of a deal that was hard to pass up and impossible to pass up if I wanted to waste more money on my TJ if you know what I mean. I can't imagine technology improving any more to make the picture any better than this TV. It's unbelievable with true 4K movies.

I just remembered I bought her a nice hardtop for her YJ a couple of weeks ago so I might be done already.
 
Usually just do cards and something homemade...something cheesy like a cheerio heart or something. We get what we need/want throughout the year. I hate the premise of exchanging the same amount of money in various forms. But we'll usually toss a few hundred at one of those Christmas angel trees.

This is us. Generally we spend money on the kids. There's nothing either of us really needs or wants that we wouldn't just go buy ourselves. We spend more on a big Christmas Eve dinner that we invite a couple other families over to than we do on presents for each other.

On Monday she sent an email w/ a link to the Amazon read-anything for a year deal, as a hint. Not exactly exciting but that's how she is. I'll probably make something.

Really the dog is getting the good expensive present the year, a fence for a big part of the back yard. Yippee.

Yeah man...due in March. The wife is one of those Christmas nut jobs that starts Christmas music in July, we have 7 trees, and god knows how many lights and santa statues. So Christmas is a big deal around the house, we just don't buy each other gifts. We still send our parents on a trip somewhere (Savannah, Charleston, OBX or something like that) and go all out kids college age or younger. But it's just weird buying adults presents...take the money you woulda spent on me, assume that's what I woulda spent on you...and you'll probably get more of you what you wanted/needed anyway. And that doesn't come from a position of being spoiled...comes from a position of being so poor growing up, $5 for something i needed, like socks/underwear, did a lot more than $5 toward a toy.

My wife didn't understand that concept. She wondered why my parents would buy the kids clothes and stuff they need.. she claimed Christmas and birthdays was about getting what you wanted. Roflmfao. She's changed her position since coming to reality. I'd rather have stuff I've need of, rather than stuff I want. can't wait for my autel maxisys for Christmas though.

If that counts then I'm screwing up! I should never have to buy presents... :shaking:

When she or I get a bonus, she distributes the bulk of the funds to the appropriate places, sets aside tithe, pay the kids tuition then determines what we can "play with" and at that point we both go get what we want. no buying for one another, and never a disappointment.
That woman is amazing with money. she can turn $20 into $200 in a week somehow, so I have NO problem not knowing what happens to our finances. We're debt free except the house and one day I'll ask about the house and I'm sure she'll tell me "honey I paid that off 10 years ago"
My wife and I don't buy each other anything typically. Especially without the other one there. I don't know jewelry and she doesn't know guns/motorcycles/jeep components.
we usually don't do "gifts" or cards at all. I knew she was the one when she opened a card from someone received in the mail, read it, said "aww how sweet" then pulled out the garbage drawer and chucked the card in the can without even looking.

OH its fixin to get bigger,I see an elf on the shelf in your future.
 
I got her a Roomba. She wanted it. I also got her some kitchen stuff she's had her eye on. I also got a couple of Dots for the Echo we have but I don't consider that a gift for her (more mutual). I'll think of more shit later. I usually end up getting her a Victoria's Secret gift card and some money.

Or the dog thinks it's a chew toy like ours did. Roomba lasted less than 24 hours thanks to the worlds worst guard dog. Seems that the only things he hates is a Roomba, any kind of power tools, and brown Santa.
