2fat2fly 0 #1 July 2, 2007 acme's anniversary thread got me thinking about what I need to get my wife in December. Check out this list that I found and look at the serious upgrade between traditional and modern gifts. Geesh! Year one goes from Paper to Gold Jewelry. Year ten from Tin or Aluminum (a good set of pans) to Diamonds!! No way did guys pick this crap out. Gift Ideas Luckily, my wife has me and should be happy without any extra bribes. [slouching off to sell plasma]I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DougH 270 #2 July 2, 2007 I think that is bullshit any way, if things are going great I want to give presents that reflect the way I feel, not ones that conform to some bullshit materialistic list. That very well may be diamonds, but I am not going to be ordered into buying them.

popsjumper 2 #3 July 2, 2007 Buy groceries and tell her it feels like you've been married 44 years. Afterwards, when you heal, you can have one of the couches at The Farm. My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jewels 0 #14 July 3, 2007 "Appliances" keep coming up on the list. BAD idea. There is nothing romantic about a vacuum cleaner. "Electronics"--now that would hold possibilities. But I might hurt the guy who showed up with a washing machine.TPM Sister #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2fat2fly 0 #17 July 3, 2007 Yeah, my personal rule for relationship survival is to never buy a gift that plugs in. A battery powered gift is acceptable in some cases I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[slouching off to sell plasma] Peoples expectations about what one is "supposed" to buy for various occasions is just as fucked up and someone arbitrary decision that you cant wear white after Labor day, or what fixed percentage of your annual income should be spent on an engagement ring. I decide whats appropriate. Nobody else. People need to develop the ability to think for themselves __ My mighty steed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
