Sounds expensive.
What is everyone getting their SO for Christmas...unless of course they post here...
- Thread starter kazlx
- Start date
Congrats Joker.
So, check this out. This year my wife decided that we would not get each other anything and instead we would help a needy family. Which is all fine and good except I am learning that first world needy children are not exactly living like kids in Haiti. The three kids we are helping out have x box games on their list which of course means they have an x box, there are dvd movies on the list so that means they have a dvd player, but the real kicker was when one of the kids asked for an Ipod touch. WTF, first world problems.

Dude, fvck that noise. I hope you aren't going along with that....that's pretty BS.
Last year I got her a fire pit for the back yard. She was STOKED. 
This year I'm getting her a french fry cutter, some things to cook hard boiled eggs w/out the shells, a cheese making kit, some special soap and bathroom type stuff, etc.

Or save for Valentines day...
AWESOME DUDE!! Congrats.... Good to hear your boys can swim up there at high altitude.
And you're still with her??
kneepads.
Maybe you can swing a Blu-Ray player for them. I'm heartbroken that anyone should be forced to watch their movies in standard def. It's just sad.
In all seriousness, that is kind of BS. Sorry, but I don't think anyone in the US reaaaallly lives in 'poverty' for the most part when it comes down to it. I think that's one of the main reasons I signed up for Big Brothers, is I would rather donate my time and see the difference that donate money to who knows where.
may i direct you to this post here.....
Divorce seems like a pretty extreme measure for buying me a gift when she promised not to. Especially since I like her.
Maybe you didn't catch it the first time around.
I guess it was too subtle. I couldn't tell if you were serious or not.
You get the "cheating"/cheating, right?
Yeah, I get it.
Those are my plans.
spray seed...don't plant it.
Well last night I finished assemly on a treadmill fo mine... you know the likely Exwife......... So she has a treadmill now
And no, she didnt ask for it
And no, she didnt ask for it
Congratulations! Hopefully she doesn't puke too much. In return she got youa gift and didn't even know it, she's signed on to be your designated driver for the next 9 months.
Sydney (& I) got Sq-Earl a new RC helicopter. I bought myself a Thule Roof top cargo box so we're good.
I ended up getting her a Garmin Nuvi, tickets to Cirque du Soleil and some other little stocking stuffer BS.
Well done, Curmudgeon!
A new stove.
She mentioned about 6 months ago she wanted to fly a kite. So I got a little kite to put in her stocking, along with an Adele DVD, some misc Victoria's Secret stuff, lotions and chapstick. She is seriously a pain to shop for. I asked her for probably the last six months if there is anything she wants and couldn't get an answer...so hopefully I do ok, especially since this is our first married Christmas. I think she was just more exciting getting the tree and decorating.
For Christmas, and her birthday, I pay attention to what she is googling, and shopping for. I usually can surprise her with something that she wants.
Get them these: Klipsch Image S4 In-Ear Headphones Here: http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/Klipsch-Image-S4-In-Ear-Headphones/6359114/product.html?cid=202290&kid=9553000357392&track=pspla&kw={keyword}&adtype=pla
holy hell everyone is trying to get into the headphone biz
Then you are spending too much money if a tree makes her happier
i would have set her up on a craigslist gang bang.
We are not at that point..... actually got her to do counceling for herself so I am giving her some time....... but the thought crossed my mind
