Spa package is a perfect and easy gift but if you have kids BEWARE!
They will go during the NFL playoffs and then guess who gets to watch the kids, alone, all day while the playoffs are on? Thats right, YOU!
Last year I got to watch the Cincy/Pitt in the picture in picture box while the kids watched Dora and Carolina/NY while they asked 16 billion questions about where mommy was :help:

definitely not the $12k in diamonds i did last year. she'll conveniently lose them around next thanksgiving again.
this year will be something more like an iou for a nice dinner and a $5 sterling ring, maybe something else cheap. for sure i am not going to her family functions ever again.

I have bought my wife diamond rings, diamond earings, diamond necklaces, diamond bracelets, etc..... for every Christmas, Valentines and Birthday. No jewelry this year......this year I bought her a Savage 7mm-08 with Accu-Trigger (it is a deer rifle for those of you who don't know).

My favorite gifts have been a denim and quilt-work jacket one year, and a purse that looks like a pair of leathers another year. Both of those gifts showed a bit of thought about the girl.
I like receiving diamonds too, don't get me wrong, and those that can, should.
Keep it fun!

gift certificate to a nice day spa
gift certificate to victoria's secret
jewelry
from tiffanys
from cartier
from swarovski
...from anywhere, really.
these are all, of course, awesome gifts - but very generic. think about what your girl likes, what she's into. Does she like music? get her concert tickets, or an mp3player. Does she like art? take her to a museum, or buy her an easel and oil paints.
use your head, darling

i got my wife a '62 beetle so she can restore it with her dad (as he has cancer and through my fathers passing, want something they can share that I never did with my father)



and a rightiously ugly dog (try and name the breed I dare ya)

For years, every time I buy my wife a present, she returns it or trades it in for something different. When I buy her jewelry, she doens't like the setting or color. So now we buy what we want and don't exchange gifts. Seems to keep us both happy. Was seriously thinking about buying her an XBox 360

just got this in an email titled "man laws"...
The girl who replies to the question "What do you want for Christmas?" with "If you loved me, you'd know what I want!" gets an Xbox or a PS2. End of story.
should update that to 360 or PS3... :thinking:
