I was hoping that I or some other lucky lady was finally going to get some Ho-Ho-Ho! boxers (or bikinis) from you.

GREAT jewelry store in New Canaan. You can't go wrong, all the girls, um, women are very helpful and you don't give your left arm for a gift. You can, but don't have to.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I'm separated, so it's probably a bad idea...TommyMac71https://www.blogger.com/profile/09697044940417938733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4626928178539178552.post-91121029802500340912008-12-09T20:55:00.000-05:002008-12-09T20:55:00.000-05:00I have been the fortunate recipient of great gifts...I have been the fortunate recipient of great gifts including exercise equipment (I asked for it), a Kitchenaid Mixer (which I love) and in my skinnier days VS. You have to communicate your wishes. My boyfriends have always been better at the gift giving than the family.

The worst was the mat cutter. Yes, a machine that cuts out mats for framing art and pictures and stuff. And no, I am not an artist nor have I ever expressed a desire to do my own framing. So I would definitely put "mat cutter" on the list of "what not to get her".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4626928178539178552.post-14981534530273118712008-12-09T11:07:00.000-05:002008-12-09T11:07:00.000-05:00At least you never bought me a pink handbag, Will ...At least you never bought me a pink handbag, <B>Will Tonhubby</B>.

I confess... I am sooooo guilty of multiple crimes!!! But thank my lucky stars, I'm not permanently in the Dog House! <BR/><BR/>Suzy Orman would slap me silly with DENIED DENIED DENIED, for all of my transgressions. After all I once bought my wife a friggen Punching Dummy (admittedly, she loved it), then of course there was the high-end LCD monitor for her computer, the Nikon camera, and ongoing list of hardware (and on and on), and of course the Jose Reyes T-shirt in the Victoria Secret box.<BR/><BR/>I will say this, adults are generally impossible to buy gifts for (men or women), though I continue to rack my brains to be inventive, and at least funny. Note, that I consider myself to be impossible too... <BR/><BR/>So how about I bake you another yummy cake, since I know that the true way to your heart is through your stomach?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4626928178539178552.post-54175604542794816912008-12-09T09:25:00.000-05:002008-12-09T09:25:00.000-05:00Well this list pretty much explains why women are ...Well this list pretty much explains why women are no fun to shop for.jjvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04223110296462634454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4626928178539178552.post-6155675488703398822008-12-09T09:23:00.000-05:002008-12-09T09:23:00.000-05:00My husband hasn't bought a piece of jewelry for me...My husband hasn't bought a piece of jewelry for me since he sold his crappy car to buy me an engagement ring (best investment he ever made). That's cool with me. I'm just not a bling kinda gal. <BR/><BR/>I don't like surprises either. We generally tell each other what we want on gift-giving occasions, and it's usually something boring like a new lint trap for the dryer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
